ServIt Drawer Warmers are designed to keep foods at optimum serving temperatures without affecting quality. They are built for tough kitchen duty with rugged stainless steel construction, heavy-duty hardware, stainless steel slides, and positive closing drawers. Drawer Warmers keep everything from meat to vegetables to rolls hot and flavor-fresh until served, with ultimate control over dry-moist environments and temperature for your delicious foods. On multiple drawer units, each drawer features individual controls for holding a wider variety of hot foods during peak serving periods. Each drawer cavity is individually insulated to keep heat transfer between drawers minimal and food at optimal temperature. This manual provides the installation, safety, and operating instructions for Drawer Warmers. ServIt recommends all installation, operating, and safety instructions appearing in this manual be read prior to installation or operation of the unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

General Information:

• Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use. (See general cleaning instructions).
• Check rating label for your model designation and electrical rating.
• For best results, use stainless steel countertops.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Electrical Ground is required on this appliance. Do not modify the power supply cord plug. If it does not fit into the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Check with a qualified electrician if you are unsure as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

General Operating Instructions:

• All foodservice equipment should be operated by trained personnel.
• Do not allow your customers to come in contact with any surface labeled CAUTION HOT.
• Where applicable: Never pour cold water into dry heated units.
• Where applicable: Do not cook, warm or hold food directly in liner pans (well pans). Always use steamtable pans/ insets, etc.
• Never hold perishable food below 150°F (66°C).

Installation and First Use Instructions:
CAUTION: Drawer warmer units are heavy and require two people to install.

1. Remove unit from carton and all packaging materials from the unit.
2. Remove the manual/information packet from the unit.
3. If installing casters, see “Installing Casters” section
4. Place the unit in desired location
5. NOTE: Place where the ambient air temperature is constant and a minimum of 70°F. Avoid areas that are subject to active air movements or currents. Make sure the unit is located on a solid, level area and at a proper height for convenient use and also following health standards.
6. NOTE: For built-in units, we recommend a cavity with an open back and at least 1” spacing on top and sides for proper ventilation, as well as being free from active air currents and away from any liquids or potential spills. Place cord in the cavity first before the unit.
7. Locate an outlet of the correct plug and voltage type for the unit and plug in
8. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired setting. See “Recommended Settings Chart” section below for proper Food Holding Guidelines.
9. CAUTION: Initial heating of unit may generate smoke or fumes and must be done in a well ventilated area. This is standard and may last up to 60 minutes during initial startup. Operate unit without food until smoke and fumes have dissipated.
10. Allow each drawer 30 minutes to preheat to the desired temperature.
11. Place food product directly in stainless steel drawer pans or use a combination of different compatible sizes of food pans to 6” (152 mm) deep.
12. NOTE: Perforated pans may be used with damp towel or small amount of hot water in the drawer pan to prevent food dry out.
13. CAUTION: Use no more than 1 quart (1 liter) for wet operation. Place no more than ¼” of water in the drawer pan.
14. Adjust drawer vents for desired humidity by sliding the vent knob on the drawer front. Opening the vent completely allows maximum moisture to escape and a drier food product. Keep the vent closed to maintain food product moisture.
15. If too much moisture accumulates around drawer front or vent, reduce temperature setting or move vent knob to dry position.
16. When the unit is no longer needed during the day, or needs to be cleaned, turn the temperature knob to the “OFF” position and allow up to 1 hour to cool down. Fully opening the drawers or vents will accelerate the cooldown process.

Installing Casters:
If putting casters on a new unit:

1. Remove all pans from the drawers and place aside.
2. Place the unit on the floor legs down.
3. Facing the front of the unit, gently turn it over so the opposite control side is on the ground.
4. Unscrew (4) legs and place in storage.
5. Remove (4) casters from packaging and screw them into the same spots where the legs were.
6. Tighten down casters with an adjustable wrench to insure stability of the unit.
7. Return unit to upright position, being careful not to put stress on the casters located near the ground when turning the unit upright.
8. Plug in and continue use.

If putting casters on a pre-existing unit:

1. Turn off the unit and let it cool down completely before handling.
2. Remove all food, pans, and water from the drawers and place aside.
3. Place the unit on the floor legs down.
4. Facing the front of the unit, gently turn it over so the opposite control side is on the ground.
5. Unscrew (4) legs and place in storage.
6. Remove (4) casters from packaging and screw them into the same spots where the legs were.
7. Tighten down casters with an adjustable wrench to insure stability of the unit.
8. Return unit to upright position, being careful not to put stress on the casters located near the ground when turning the unit upright.
9. Plug in and continue use.
