ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL CODES & STANDARDS:

The cabinet must be installed in accordance with:

In the United States of America:

State and Local
National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA-70 (latest edition.) Copies may be obtained from: The National Fire Protection Association, 1Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. 1-617-770-3000 www.nfpa.org

In Canada:

Local
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 (latest ) Copies may be obtained from: The Canadian Standard Association. www.csa.ca

All cabinets are equipped with a three-prong plug. It is imperative that

this plug must be connected into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.

Verify that the power source matches the Serial Data Plate located on

the lower back corner of the cabinet and the plug configuration before the connection is made. (Fig.1

SERIAL DATA PLATE

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:

The cabinet is factory wired for 120 volt single phase operation. The cabinet is equipped with an 8 foot cord and a NEMA 5-15 plug as standard equipment. Refer to wiring diagrams in the back of this manual.
The cord and plug supplied is a suitable durable cord with a molded three- prong plug, and is provided with a heavy-duty strain relief.

OPERATION

CONTROLS

The cabinet is pre-set/programmed at the factory at a recommended temperature of 165⁰ F

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the cabinet has been properly installed by competent service people, cleaned, and connected to the appropriate power source, the cabinet is ready for operation.

TEMPERING:

At least 1 (one) hour prior to loading the cabinet with the trays, plug the cabinet into the proper electric outlet, and switch the rocker switch to the ON position. Allow the cabinet to run while the doors remain closed. In 1 (one) hour, the temperature inside should be 165⁰.
( + / – 10 degrees ).

LOADING:

Insert bulk food trays onto supplied shelves as quickly as possible, exposing only small quantities to room temperature for short periods of time. Load the cabinet while it is running, keeping the doors closed as much as possible. When the cart is loaded, allow the temperatures to recover for approximately 10 minutes prior to transporting cabinet.

UNLOADING:

Once cabinet has been transported, plug the cabinet into an appropriate electrical outlet. This will re-activate the heating element and automatically hold the temperature at 165⁰. While the meal trays are being distributed, keep the door closed as much as possible.
At the completion of the meal service, restack the trays within the cart, and return the cabinet and trays to the washing area.

The temperature in any heated cabinet will fluctuate with door opening

and transportation. The operator should always monitor the food product to insure that it remains at a proper temperature.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE

CLEANING:

Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron, which will rust if not properly maintained. Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30% chromium, which forms an invisible passive, protective film that shields against corrosion.
If the protective film remains intact, the stainless steel will remain intact. However, if the film is damaged, the stainless steel can break down and rust.

PREVENTIVE CARE:

To prevent stainless steel break- down, follow these steps:

Never use any metal tools, scrapers, files, wire brushes, or scouring pads (except fo

stainless steel scouring pads,) which will mar the surface.

Never use steel wool – which will leave behind particles that will
Never use acid-based or chloride containing cleaning solutions – which will break down the protective film.
Never rub in a circular motion. Always rub gently in the direction of the steel grain.
Never leave any food products or salt on the surface. Many foods are acidic. Salt contains

PRESERVING & RESTORING:

Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can preserve and restore the protective film.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular application of a high- quality stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the stainless steel surface. First, thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a high-quality stainless steel polish according to manufacturer’s instructions.

HEAT TINT:

Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” may appear on stainless steel exposed to excessive heat. Excessive heat causes the protective film to thicken. This is unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint will require heavy-duty cleaning

MAINTENANCE

The cabinet and its parts are HOT. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the cabinet.
Always unplug electrical power supply before servicing the cabinet. Beyond periodic inspections, checking for frayed or damaged power cord, plug, hinges, racks, and overall cabinet body, there is little maintenance required. The caster axles, however, should be kept free of foreign objects such as mop strings, plastic, etc. Depending on the handling of the cabinet, the casters should be greased at least quarterly. If harsh detergents are used, more frequent greasing will be required

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURE
