receiving your cabinet

• Shipping Damage
  Examine equipment thoroughly for shipping damage before, during and after unloading. All Winston products are carefully inspected and verified to be in good condition before leaving our factory. The carrier delivering your cabinet has assumed responsibility for its safe arrival. If you notice any damage
  (obvious or hidden), a claim must be made to the carrier.

• Obvious Loss or Damage
  Please note any obvious loss or damage on the freight bill or express receipt, and have the carrier’s agent sign to acknowledge the claim. The carrier will supply the necessary forms. If you do not obtain and complete the forms before the carrier’s agent departs, the carrier might refuse your damage claim.

• Concealed Loss or Damage
  Sometimes loss or damage is not obvious until the product has been unpacked. If you notice damage that was concealed by packaging or crating, contact the carrier in writing to notify them of the damage. The carrier should agree to inspect the damage within 15 days. Please retain all packing materials. The carrier will supply an inspection report and the required claim forms.

• Physical
  Casters are non-marking; back casters are non-locking, front are locking.

• Water Supply

  • In order to operate properly, the evaporator in this cabinet must be filled with clean, potable water. Hardware is included to connect the cabinet to a copper line in your facility’s water system. If your facility has plastic or galvanized pipes, contact a licensed plumber to connect the water supply. Equipment should be installed to comply with applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
  • Units with automatic water fill systems are to be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with federal, state, and local codes.
  • As water evaporates, any minerals in the water will deposit on the surface of the evaporator. These mineral deposits will inhibit the transfer of heat. Deposits can also degrade and damage stainless steel. The best way to avoid mineral deposits is to clean the unit daily. It is also advisable to contact your water utility for advice on minimizing deposit buildup. Experience has shown that leaks will occur by failing to clean and rinse the evaporator daily. Leaking evaporators are not covered under warranty.

ventilation requirements

Ventilation clearances – To operate properly, the thermalizer will need sufficient space for air circulation. Allow at least 2″ (51mm) clearance on all sides of the cabinet, particularly around ventilation holes. Care should be taken to prevent placing the cabinet close to anything combustible. It must be installed with its supplied legs, feet, or casters. Counter top units specifically supplied without legs or casters may be set directly upon a counter top of non-combustible material. In this situation, the unit may have to be sealed to the counter top with a food-grade silicone sealant (check local health codes). Half size units may be stacked upon each other using only a Winston supplied stacking kit and following the instructions enclosed with the kit. Your warranty may be void if you do not adhere to these ventilation requirements.

High Temperature and Grease Hazard
Can cause damage to equipment.
Avoid placing equipment near high heat or in grease laden atmosphere.

Do not place equipment in an area where air temperatures around the equipment exceed 100°F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required to prevent excessive heat exposure and grease laden vapors from affecting the equipment if adjacent to heat, vapor, or grease generating devices (such as grills, steamers, cabinets, etc.). Excess heat and grease inside the equipment cavities may cause electrical components to fail.
Vent hood – Generally this equipment does not need to be installed under a mechanical ventilation system (vent hood). Check local health and fire codes for specific requirements.

daily operating procedure

WARNING
Contamination Hazard
Can cause serious illness.
Clean equipment prior to first use, to remove traces of industrial chemicals and oils.

Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily cleaning procedure listed on pages 18 and 19.

1. Prepare unit for cooking/ retherming/holding. Adjust rack supports in retherming cavity if required.
2. Fill evaporator with 3.5 gallons (13.3 liters) of water prior to operation. We recommend filling manually at first, rather than waiting for the auto fill to fill it. Tip: Speed up initial cabinet preheat by using hot water (do not use water that’s hotter than the desired food temperature. Locations with hard water should add one tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to water in evaporator to help prevent scale buildup. You may want to seek advice from your local water authority concerning possible water treatment necessary for the protection of the unit. Some water supplies are high enough in chemical content to be capable of destroying stainless steel if used untreated. The evaporation process can concentrate the chemicals to a level which causes a high interaction with stainless steel. When water is of unknown quality, automatic fill units should be connected to the water source through a deionizer/demineralizer. Experience has shown that leaks will occur by failing to clean and rinse the evaporator daily. Leaking evaporators are not covered under warranty.
