INSTALLATION and STARTUP

LOCATION
For proper operation and maximum performance, locate the unit in an ambient air temperature of 70ºF (21ºC). Avoid placement in areas near exhaust fans or where there are active air movements. For safe operation and maximum performance, locate the unit at least 2” from any wall or combustible material. Unit must be on a solid level surface.

STARTUP

1. Prior to use, thoroughly clean the interior of the unit and the water reservoir, per the instructions in this manual.
2. Install water trough at base of door. Keyhole cutouts will fit over bolts at base of door. Slide trough until the ends are flush with the edges of the door.
3. If the cabinet is an HWU, install the universal pan slides in each tray rack located at each side of the cabinet. Standard spacing is every other slot (3” or 76 cm apart). Begin with the lowest slot at the bottom of the cabinet and work your way up. Hold the slide at an angle and line up the tabs at either end with the slots in the tray rack. Slide the tabs into the slots, then tilt the slide down so that it is level.
4. Install water reservoir by pulling out the metal frame at the upper left front of the cabinet interior in front of the element. Slide pan up and then forward so that it hangs from inside the metal frame; make sure the element is inside the pan. Push entire assembly back into the cabinet.
5. Plug the power cord of the cabinet into a grounded outlet with the proper electrical service. Verify electrical requirements on the Serial Tag located on the side of the cabinet. Due to the differences in water supply conditions, it may be necessary to calibrate the cabinet to properly sense your water supply. Please see pages 7-8 for the calibration procedures.
6. Set POWER switch to “ON”. Set temperature dial to 190°F (88°C). Do not fill humidity pan. Set humidity dial to 0% (off).
7. Do not load product into the cabinet. Allow the heat to remove any residual oils which may adhere to inside metal surfaces. A slight emission of smoke is common during the first
   few hours of operation.

Control panel layout

Water probe sensitivity adjustment procedures
If, after you have filled the water pan, the “Low Water” alarm is activated, the sensitivity of the water probes may need to be adjusted to detect your quality of water.

To adjust the water probe sensitivity, follow these steps:

1. Turn off power to the unit.

2. Completely empty the water pan and replace.

3. Push in the humidity adjustment dial. While holding in the dial, turn power back on. Only the cooling fan in the heater compartment should turn on. The temperature display (see illustration below). should show three lines across its bottom and the humidity display should read ten.

4. Slide out the water pan and add water ONLY until the longest probe is in the water. Turn the humidity dial clockwise to increase the sensitivity of the probe (number will increase) until the line farthest to the left on the temperature display moves from the bottom to the top of the display (see illustration below). This probe is now sensing the water.

5. Add more water to the pan until the middle length probe is in the water. Follow the same procedure as in step number four until the middle line on the temperature display moves from the bottom to the top of the display (see illustration below). This probe is now sensing water.
   Water probe sensitivity adjustment procedures (cont.)

6. Add more water to the pan until the shortest probe is in the water. Follow the same procedure as in step number four until the line  farthest to the right on the temperature display moves from the bottom to the top of the display (see illustration). This probe is now sensing water.

7. When all three lines are at the top of the temperature display, turn off power to the unit. The water probes are now adjusted to sense your quality of water.

8. Turn the power back on to the unit for normal operation.

CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE

Inner surfaces of the unit will be very hot during and after the operation.

CAUTION:
STEAM HAZARD

This unit produces steam, use caution when cleaning or opening the doors

NORMAL OPERATION

First Use
Turn the cabinet on using the power switch located on the far left side of the control panel. Once the switch is turned on, the control display will illuminate. When the cabinet is first turned on, the temperature display will show the current hardware / software revision, for example: “r26”. Then display will then alternately flash “PrE” and the set point values. To adjust the temperature or humidity setting, rotate the respective dial to the desired set point and stop. After 3 seconds, if either setting is adjusted, the newly adjusted value will be stored in the controllers memory. If the cabinet power is interrupted, the last value set will be the new value restored upon power being restored. It will take approximately 30 minutes for the cabinet to warm up to a factory default setting of 160ºF (71°C). Once the set point is reached, a short alarm burst will be heard to indicate that the cabinet has reached the set point.
Humidity system
This holding cabinet is equipped with a water reservoir and automatic fill system (standard) that will be used to humidify the cabinet. The reservoir will not automatically begin to fill until the lowest water level probe is submerged. This is a safety feature that will prevent the automatic fill system from operating if the reservoir has been removed. To activate the auto fill system, the reservoir must be primed. Pour potable water into the reservoir until the water touches the lowest level probe. Once the lowest probe is in water, the fill valve will turn on and the reservoir will begin to fill. Once the highest level probe senses water, the fill solenoid will turn off. Due to the differences in water supply conditions, it may be necessary to calibrate the cabinet to properly sense your water supply. Please see pages 7-8 for the calibration procedures. As the unit maintains the desired humidity level, water will be used from the reservoir. When the water level drops below the low level probe, the fill solenoid will turn on again thus repeating the cycle. The holding cabinet is equipped with a low water alarm, see the following page for details on the alarm system. Although the cabinet is equipped with an auto fill system, it is not necessary to have the cabinet coupled to a water supply line. The reservoir can be filled manually. As long as the low level probe is in contact with water, the control can maintain the desired humidity setting. Humidity settings at high levels will cause condensation to collect in the cabinet. A removable condensation trough is located at the base of the door to collect excess water. Check periodically and empty when full.

CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Inner surfaces of the unit will be very hot during and after operation. Avoid touching the cabinet when loading or removing product.

Factory default setpoints:

• temperature: 160ºF (71°C)
• humidity: 50%
• low temp alarm:140ºF(60°C)

Operating ranges:

• temp alarm: 80ºF-180ºF (27-82ºC)
• air temp: 90ºF-200ºF (32-93ºC)
• humidity: OFF-90%

The factory default for the temperature display is in ºF. To change the display to read in ºC, push in and hold the view actual button for 10 seconds. The display will now read in ºC. To change the display temp back to ºF, repeat the same procedure above.

CAUTION:
STEAM HAZARD
This unit produces steam, use caution when cleaning or opening the Water reservoir located at top left of cabinet interior. To fill, pull out metal frame with pan. IF CABINET IS HOT, USE OVEN MITTS AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION—FRAME AND WATER WILL BE HOT. To remove, pull out metal frame. DO NOT REMOVE IF CABINET OR WATER IS HOT. ALLOW CABINET TO COOL COMPLETELY. While holding metal frame, slide pan to rear and then lower to clear the frame. To install, reverse procedure.

Low-temperature alarm
The cabinet is equipped with a low temperature alarm feature. When the alarm is active, the temperature display will indicate “LO” and then “TEMP” and the audible alarm will sound. To silence the alarm, press the “alarm off” button. If the actual temperature is still below the low temperature alarm set point after 5 minutes, the alarm will sound again. This alarm can be triggered by the door being left open, product that is much colder than the temperature set point being placed in the cabinet or due to a malfunction of the heating system. To change the low temperature alarm set point, press and hold the “alarm off” button while adjusting the temperature set point knob to the new desired value. Due to food safety concerns, the low temperature alarm should never be set below 140 degrees F (60°C). After 3 seconds, the controller will accept the new set point. The new value will be stored in the controller memory until the next time the value is changed. The audible alarm for low cabinet temperature can be turned off. The factory default is ON. To enter into the adjustment mode, push in and hold the “alarm off” button until the alarm sounds. The display will read either (ON or OFF). To change the status, push the temperature knob, which will function as a toggle switch to select between ON or OFF. After 10 seconds, the controller will accept the desired audible alarm function (either ON or OFF). If OFF is selected, the temperature display will still indicate “LO” and “TEMP” if the low temp alarm is tripped.
Low Water Alarm
The cabinet is equipped with a low water alarm feature. When water drops below the low level probe, the control cuts power to the heating element used to produce steam. If the water level is below the low probe for more than 5 minutes, an audible alarm will sound and the humidity display will indicate “LO” and then “H2O”. This alarm can be triggered by a lack of water supply or due to a malfunction of the humidity system. The humidity display will normally show the set point value. To display the actual humidity value, press the knob located next to the humidity display. The actual temperature and humidity values will be displayed for 5 seconds and then revert back to the respective set point values. To display only the actual temperature or humidity, push in the respective adjustment knob. The audible alarm for low humidity can be turned off. The factory default is ON. To enter into the adjustment mode, push in and hold the (alarm off) button until the alarm sounds. The display will read either (ON or OFF). To change the status, push the humidity knob, which will function as a toggle switch to select between ON or OFF. After 10 seconds, the controller will accept the desired audible alarm function (either ON or OFF). If OFF is selected, the humidity display will still indicate “LO” and “H2O” if the low water alarm is tripped.

CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Inner surfaces of the unit will be very hot during and after operation. Avoid touching the cabinet when loading or removing product.

The LO / H2O alarm can be silenced by pressing the alarm off button or by adding water to the reservoir. If the alarm off button is pressed and no water is added, the alarm will sound again after 5 minutes.

CAUTION:
WATER HAZARD
A water trough is located at the base of the door to collect condensation. Make sure to periodically check and empty it regularly to avoid overflow. The trough can be removed and emptied by simply sliding it off the bolts at the base of the door.
