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:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always Use Handles. Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse tray base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. 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.

6. 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 10 for Warranty info (Warranty applies in 48 contiguous US states only.)

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.

12. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit.

13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “Off,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

14. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

15. DO NOT USE PLASTIC DISHES OR PLASTIC WRAP ON WARMING SURFACE.

NOTE: A 6 power supply Cord (or cord set) 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 if 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 and high-grade, long-life stainless steam pans will remain unblemished for a long time with appropriate care. 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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Be sure to remove the protective film from all surfaces before using the cart. (FIG. A.)

KEYS/LOCKS (FIG. B.)
The CBC-GG-2 series carts have swing-open doors and a twist lock.
The CBC-GG-4 series carts have sliding doors and a push-in lock. Pushing in the lock will set the lock. Use keys provided to open the lock on all models.
NOTE: 2 keys are supplied with each cart. Cadco cannot provide replacement keys because each lock is keyed differently. We strongly recommend that you have duplicate keys made at a hardware store or other key vendor as soon as you receive your cart.

FLIP-UP SHELF

To lower the shelf, squeeze the shelf lock tabs up on each side, and lower the shelf. Maximum weight load for the shelf is 35-40 1lbs.

RISER (Fig. D.)

A stainless riser is included to keep items such as plates, napkins, etc. from contact with the cart’s warming surface. Insert the riser with the open side down.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT INNER SHELF/SHELVES (Fig. E.)

CBC-GG-4 series carts have 2 adjustable shelves.

To adjust shelf height, tilt shelf up slightly and reposition by resting shelf on your choice of shelf support knobs on both sides of the cart interior.
Be sure the shelf is resting securely on the 4 shelf support knobs before placing anything on the shelf.

( NOTE: Optional 4″ deep pans NOT meant for use with meats unless only filled halfway)
There are separate controls for each HOT buffet server. Turn desired hot buffet server knob on the control panel to the ON position. 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. (Only top level of the cart in buffet server area heats up.) Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.

Subsequent Use:

1. ALWAYS attach each pan holder to the top of the cart warming base before turning on the heat and placing the pans in place.

2. Each buffet server heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob, located behind left door of cart. Heat range is from 155° to 200° F, to keep foods at serving temperatures. 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.

3. The light will come on only during heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary for warming surfaces, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.
