OPERATION

5.1 Control panel

1. Thermostat – temperature set button
2. Light (white)
3. Main switch (red)

5.2 Turn on

1.  Connect the power supply to the display case.
2. Turn on the main switch (3).
3. Set the demanded temperature by the thermostat button (1).
4. Turn on the light (2).

Let the empty showcase run for at least one hour or until the desired temperature is reached. The food should be inserted after the requested temperature is reached.
After turning on the device starts heating the elements and the fans start to begin circulate heated air through the front exhaust vents in the exhibition space up to the highest shelf. Heated air is thus injected into all display levels toward the rear doors. The air is sucked through grids disposed at sides of the exhibition area and to the evaporator, where it is heated for further circulation.
The water from tray evaporates during operation due to heat and moistens the inner space of case (mitigates drying on display). Check the water level in the tank periodicaly to avoid its complete evaporation. The schowcase can NOT be used WITHOUT WATER!
5.3 Setting
▶ Temperature adjusting:
If the set temperature is not suitable, adjust it with slow turn of the thermostat button (1) in appropriate direction.
5.4 Placing of goods in the display case
The showcase is not designed for heating goods, but to maintain the temperature of pre-heated food during its presentation in the display case. Food, whose temperature is lower or extremely higher than the temperature inside the display case, may not be placed in the unit. Place the goods on the shelves and in containers, so that:

• between pieces on shelves is a gap of at least 1 cm
• goods do not exceed the edges of shelves nor containers
• total weight of the goods on one shelf does not exceed the carrying capacity per shelf (10 kg)

Improper storage of goods slows the circulation of air inside the display case and raises its temperature.
The front exhaust and side vents must not be covered by goods or other items!
Also, the space between the containers, shelves and the rear sliding door must remain free – goods shall not exceed the edges of the shelves nor containers!
When loading and unloading goods, open and close the door as quickly as possible to shorten the length of time that the door is open, to prevent leakage of heated air (ie cooling the interior of unit).
