IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
- Do not touch hot surfaces! Always Use Handles. Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse tray base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Call the Cadco Factory Service Department at 860-738-2500 for the nearest authorized service center. (See page 8 for Warranty info (Warranty applies in 48 Contiguous US states only.)
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.
- Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “Ofi,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- DO NOT USE PLASTIC DISHES OR PLASTIC WRAP ON WARMING SURFACE.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A 72″(6′) power supply cord (or cord set) for cart/buffet server has been provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords may be used it care is properly exercised in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The high-tech warming surface will remain unblemished for a long time with appropriate care. The high-grade, long-life stainless chafing pans allow Tor an attractive alternative for keeping appetizers and other foods warm. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden or rubber utensils. Metal utensils may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on the cooking surfaces.
*MODEL CBC-HH-L Series
**
NOTE : The only difference between the CBC-HH-L series and the CBC-HH-L-4 series is that the CBC-HC-L series has 2-1/ high pans & panholders, and those on the CBC-HH-L-4 series are 4″ high.
HOW TO USE
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Mobile Cart
features, (See Figs. A & B; Wash removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse
and dry. Clean the warming surface & cart with a mild detergent and a soft
moist cloth. Do not use any scouring agents! DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BUFFET SERVER
CART TOP/ WARMING SURFACE OR LET THE PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER. Rinse
and Wipe dry. Do not allow water to spill or seep into the frame. 
Assemble art
- Place pan holders (Fig. C1) over the cart’s top warming surface, with 2 keyhole slots and 2 open slots on the inside flaps of the pan holder positioned over the 4 locking knobs on the warming surface (Fig. C2-3). Press pan holders down onto warming surface, and slide pan holders until knobs engage (Fig. C4). Tighten knobs to keep pan holders in place. (Reverse steps to remove pan holders for cleaning.)
- Place steam pans into the pan holder, and place the rolltop lids over the pans.
- (When actually using cart to keep foods warm) place steam pans with hot food into the pan holder, and put the lids in place.
Initial Use (Fig. D):
( NOTE : 4″ deep pans NOT meant for use with meats unless only filled
halfway) Plug the cart into a 120V outlet. There are separate controls for
each buffet server. Turn desired buffet server on by pressing the related
ON/OFF rocker switch at the side of the cart to the ON position. Then turn the
variable thermostat knob counterclockwise to maximum setting. Heat the warming
base without foods on it for approximately 10 minutes in order to seal the
special coating. Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.
Subsequent Use:
-
ALWAYS attach each pan holder to the top of the cart warming base before turning on the heat and placing the pans in place.
-
Each buffet server heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob, located on respective side of cart. Heat range is from 155 to 200° F, to
keep foods at serving temperatures. (Hot buffet servers are designed for keeping food warm, not for warming up cold food.) For best results, use maximum heat setting to quickly reach your desired temperature, then adjust to desired temperature. Set heat level by turning the knob so that the white line on the knob mark lines up with the signal light line. -
The light will come on only during heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary for warming trays, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.
-
The unit comes with 4 half size stainless steam pans, 2 stainless pan holders, and 2 clear poly carbonate rolltop lids.
-
Food placed in buffet server steam pans should be fully cooked and already hot. Buffet servers are designed for keep-warm function only. To retain heat and moisture in foods, keep lids on when not serving.
( NOTE: 4′” deep pans NOT meant for use with meats unless only filled halfway.) -
The stainless steam pans may be used in an oven to cook/preheat the food, but the rolltop lids must not be placed in an oven!
-
Foods containing little or no liquid should be kept warm on Low setting, and stirred periodically.
CARE AND CLEANING:
Cart/ Buffet Servers
Before initial use and after each subsequent use, wash removable parts” in
warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. The clear lids are top-rack dishwasher
safe.The most effective and safe way to clean the buffet server cart top is
with a mild detergent and a soft moist cloth. Do not use any scouring agents!
DO NOT SUBMERGE THE BUFFET SERVER CART TOP OR LET THE HEAT CONTROL COME IN
CONTACT WITH WATER. *Wash side & front laminate panels with a damp cloth when
necessary. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL OR ABRASIVE KITCHEN CLEANERS. Do not use
bleach. Do not allow cleaning liquids to drip into the bottom panel retainer
channels. If there is any food residue remaining on the metal cart surface, it
should be removed after each use. To do so, scrub gently with a fine cleansing
pad such as nylon mesh or other ordinary cleansing pad. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL
OR ABRASIVE KITCHEN CLEANERS. To polish, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Any
food residue remaining can be whisked away with a gentle stroke of a nylon
mesh pad. Rinse and wipe dry. Do not allow water to spill or seep into frame.
NOTE: It is normal for the heating surface to eventually discolor due to
heat. Any maintenance required for this product other than normal care and
cleaning should be performed by our Factory.
