Parts

Important Note: 80 oz bags of sauce will require a puncture tool for opening the inner seal once the outer cap has been removed. Please use with CAUTION, as the puncture tool is sharp.

USE CAUTION: CONTENTS HOT

pre-heating sauce
Preheat a bag of sauce to 140°F before opening. The Gehl’s Hot Top 2 Dual Dispenser takes 4-6 hours to preheat an UNOPENED bag to the proper temperature in a heated dispenser.

loading the dispenser

1. Once the bag of sauce reaches at least 140°F , remove the outer cap and puncture the inner seal with the Bag Cap Opener/Puncture Tool provided. To puncture the seal, simply insert the tool completely and twist.
2. Attach the valve to the fitment on the bag and fasten securely using the screw collar. The valve opening should be facing down toward the short end of the bag – see photo at right.
3. Place the bag of sauce in the dispenser. Align the valve between the dispenser pan using the guides on the side of the valve. Lower the bag and push the valve down into the U-shaped groove until it is securely in place.
4. Place a weight on top of the dispensing bag. Note: When product gets low, add an additional bag for preheating. The heated shelf life begins as soon as sauce is heating (see hot hold times in “Important Information”)
5. Place the lid on the dispenser, and check to see that the valve guard is in place. If not, slide valve guard onto the tracks below the dispensing valves. Lid and valve guard are necessary for proper heating.

NEVER LEAVE A DISPENSER OPERATING WITHOUT THE LID AND VALVE GUARD IN PLACE

bag replacement

1. When the sauce flow begins to slow, remove the lid & weight and reposition the bag of sauce. Roll the top of the bag down while moving sauce toward the spout. Replace the weight and lid. Note: A second bag can be preheated at this time. Place on top of the dispensing bag and replace weight. This will maximize flow.
2. When a bag of sauce is empty, remove it from the dispenser and throw it away.
3. Repeat the steps in “Loading the Dispenser” section.

important information:

1. Prior to loading, write the date you are loading product into the dispenser on the bag with a permanent marker.
2. Hot holding times are: 5 days for yellow Cheese sauces, 3 days for white and 7 days for Chili
3. Note: The machine must be on and heating the entire time opened sauce bags are being held in it
