Electrical Info for Standard US systems
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
The inner and outer surfaces of the unit will be very hot during and after the
operation. Avoid touching the cabinet when loading or removing
Operating ranges:
– air temp: 80ºF-210ºF
*For food safety reasons, it is recommended that the food be held at 140°F
or higher.
NORMAL OPERATION
FIRST USE
Before using the cabinet, familiarize yourself with the heater controls. Plug
the cabinet into a proven power source. The power indicator lamp and fan will
operate continuously whenever the heater is plugged in. This unit operates on
1650 watts, 120 volts, 13.7 Amps, and NEMA 5-15P plug.
HEATER OPERATION
- Turn the thermostat knob from 160°F to 180°F; allow the cabinet to preheat for at least 20 minutes. Be sure the cabinet door remains closed during preheat time. The dial thermometer will display the actual cabinet temperature.
- Food serving temperature will vary with the mass, type & quantity of food (see FOOD HOLDING GUIDE on page 7). To adjust the temperature setting, rotate the HEAT dial clockwise to increase temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease the temperature to the desired set point. Dial settings range from 80°F to 210°F. The HEAT cycle light will turn on and off as the heat thermostat cycles.
- Load food pans into the cabinet. NOTE: Follow all food safety guidelines. Put hot, cooked food into the cabinet. This cabinet is not intended to reheat food. Food must be cooked and at safe serving temperature prior to being placed in the cabinet.
- During loading, the cabinet temperature will drop. Close the door and allow the cabinet to recover for 10-15 minutes before moving the cabinet.
- Be sure to unplug the cord and wind it around the cord bracket before moving the cabinet. Move the cabinet to the service area as quickly as possible.
- Upon reaching the service area, unwind the power cord and reconnect the heater as soon as possible. Wait 5-10 minutes for the cabinet to recover temperature (check the thermometer to see if the temperature is at the desired level). Adjust thermostat as needed.
- When removing items, start at the bottom and work up. This will keep food hotter and eliminate spillage onto lower items.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
The inner and outer surfaces of the unit will be very hot during and after the
operation.
Operating ranges:
– air temp: 80ºF-210ºF
CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
THERMOMETER CALIBRATION
Place an oven thermometer in the center of the cabinet. Turn the heater on;
turn the thermostat to the maximum setting for approximately 45 minutes. Open
the door and check the inside thermometer temperature. If recalibration is
required, pry the plastic cover off the dial body, and with a small flat blade
screwdriver, insert it into the pointer as shown. Carefully turn the pointer
with your finger to the correct setting. Be careful not to bend the pointer,
as it is very fragile.
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
If additional heat range is desired, unplug the unit, remove the black
thermostat knob, insert a small straight blade screwdriver into the opening
and turn the limit control set screw counterclockwise one full turn (see
diagram). Replace the thermostat knob and turn clockwise to reach the new
maximum temperature. Repeat the procedure until the desired temperature is
reached. Each 1/4 turn of the calibration set screw will raise the element
heating capacity by 25°F to 35°F degrees.
If a reduction of heat is desired, turn limit control set screw clockwise one
full turn. Hold the door open allowing the cabinet to cool until the inside
temperature is below the temperature desired. Close the door and allow the
unit to rise to a new maximum temperature. Repeat the procedure until the
desired temperature is reached.

DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES
- Clean cabinet regularly, using the following procedure:
- Allow the cabinet to cool completely.
- The entire heating unit can be lifted out of the cabinet prior to cleaning. Unplug the heating unit and wrap the cord around the handle. Grasp the heater cord/handle with one hand and the rear of the heater unit with the other. Lift the heater up and then out.
- Racks or shelves are easily removed without tools for cleaning. Simply lift up and pull out. The tray slides may be hand washed or run through an automatic dishwasher.
- Vinyl trim should be washed with a chlorine-free detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to dry. Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Use of direct steam/hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190°F (88°C) may result in bubbling or loosening of vinyl adhesive.
- To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, detergents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be “chloride-free” and “phosphate-free”. DO NOT exceed recommended concentrations or mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clear water. Wipe off any standing liquid or residue from all horizontal surfaces, in corners, or near edges.
- Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
- Replace the heating unit.
CAUTION:
** Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that
contain chlorides or phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless steel
products. The damage appears as pits, eruptions, voids, small holes, cracks,
severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Water with high chloride
content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water quality, we
recommend you have it tested.
The use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for stainless steel may
cause permanent damage to the cabinet.
THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.**
RECOMMENDED TIPS FOR CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
Purpose | Frequency | Cleaning Agent | Method of Application |
---|---|---|---|
Routine Cleaning | Daily | Soap, ammonia detergent & water | Sponge with cloth, |
rinse with clear water, and wipe dry
Smears/fingerprints As| As| Stainless steel cleaner or similar| Rub with a
cloth as directed on the package. Rub in direction of stainless steel grain.
Do not use vinyl trim.
Stubborn spots & stains| Daily| Any chloride-free or phosphate-free| Apply
with a damp sponge or cloth. Rub in direction of stainless steel grain. Rinse
thoroughly. Do not use vinyl trim.
Hard water spots| Daily| Vinegar| Swab with a cloth. Rise with water & wipe
dry.
CAUTION:
Do not move the cabinet unless the door is secure- ly closed. Serious damage
to hinges and doors may result if bumped into tables, walls, or other
equipment when the doors are open.
MAINTENANCE
CASTERS
Some cabinets may have caster bearings that are equipped with Zerk grease
fittings so that they may be easily lubricated with a grease gun. Lubricate
bearings at least once every six months. Lubrication will be required more
often if the cabinet is cleaned with hot water or a steam cleaning system.
Casters with special sealed bearings are recommended for frequent cart wash or
steam cleaning systems.
LATCHES & HINGES
Make sure all joints remain sealed and door latches do not stick. If
necessary, use WD-40, silicone spray, graphite, or other commercial lubricants
for aluminum products, to keep door latches & hinges from sticking. Do not use
oil.
FOR CABINETS WITH PERIMETER BUMPERS
Vinyl that has been dislodged from the channel due to severe bumping or
scraping can be pried back into place with a common screwdriver.
