WARNINGS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

As is the case with most cooking equipment, your CVap UHB cabinet should be used with caution. Please read the following warnings to avoid potential injuries.

DANGER: Electrical Hazard Can cause serious injury or death >> Do not attempt to service this equipment unless you are a licensed electrician or trained servicer.

Because this equipment utilizes high voltage, it should only be installed and serviced by a licensed electrician or trained servicer. Attempting to install or service the equipment yourself could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries.

If an electrical shock is felt when touching equipment, shut off power immediately (pull cord or turn off circuit breaker) and call a trained servicer for repair. Failure to do so could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries.

Always turn power switch off any time equipment is not in use.

WARNING: Burn Hazard Can cause serious injury >> Avoid heated vapor when opening or closing cabinet door.

This equipment utilizes heated water vapor, which transfers heat much more quickly and efficiently than dry air of the same temperature. Use caution when opening doors or reaching into the equipment, as heated vapor can quickly cause burns.

WARNING: Contamination Hazard
Can cause serious illness or damage to equipment >> Clean equipment daily to avoid potential contamination hazard.

Clean equipment daily to prevent buildup of food residue or chlorides, which can also damage stainless steel and contaminate food. Failure to follow proper cleaning procedures can void your warranty.

Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily cleaning procedure listed on below.

CAUTION: Electrical Hazard
Can cause injury >> Do not connect equipment to an external switching device.

In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this equipment must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

CAUTION: Burn Hazard
Can cause injury >> Allow 30 minutes for equipment to cool before attempting to clean.

Always allow equipment to cool before cleaning to avoid potential burns.

WARNING: Safety Hazard,
Intended Use: Can cause serious injury or damage to equipment >>Supervise untrained, young, or handicapped persons.

1. This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.
3. This equipment is intended to be used for commercial applications, such as in restaurants and institutions, and in commercial operations, such as bakeries, but not for continuous mass production of food.

CAUTION: High Temperature & Grease Hazard
Can cause damage to equipment >> Avoid placing equipment near high heat or in grease-laden atmosphere.

Do not place equipment in areas where air temperature exceeds 100˚F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required to prevent heat exposure and grease-laden vapors from affecting the equipment if near heat, vapor, or grease generating devices (such as grills, steamers, ovens, etc.). Excess heat and grease inside the equipment cavities may cause electrical components to fail.

WATER FILL PROCEDURE

Water Supply

In order to operate properly, the evaporator in this cabinet must be filled with clean, potable water. 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 equipment daily. It is also advisable to contact your water utility for advice on minimizing deposit buildup.

For locations with hard water, add one tablespoon (15ml) of white vinegar or lemon juice to water to help minimize scale buildup. Please consider contacting your local water authority to obtain advice on possible water treatment to protect the equipment. Some water supplies are high enough in chemical content to be capable of damaging stainless steel (if used untreated). The evaporation process can concentrate the chemicals in the water to a level which could cause a damaging reaction with the stainless steel.

INSTALLING AUTO WATER FILL

Insert tubing and push fully into the connector (reference drawing below). Once seated, try to pull the tubing out of the connector so that the capture ring comes out (about 1/16” (1.6mm)) and the tubing cannot be removed. Prior to connecting a newly installed water line to the auto water fill connection, it is extremely important to flush the water line of any debris. Debris in the water line will cause damage to the water solenoid and would not be covered under warranty.

The maximum incoming water temperature may not exceed 140˚F (60˚C) and the incoming water pressure must be between 20 and 150 psi (1.4 Kgf/cm2 to 10.5 Kgf/cm2 (kilogram-force per sq. centimeter)).

CAUTION: High Temperature Hazard Can cause damage to equipment >> Fill evaporator with water prior to turning power on, and do not allow evaporator to run dry.

CAUTION: Equipment with auto water fill systems MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN DRY. Heat damage to the water valve may result.

It is the responsibility of the owner and installer to make sure that installation complies with all applicable local and state plumbing codes.

ELECTRICAL

The equipment is shipped from the factory with a 84″ (2134mm) (minimum) power cord and plug. It may be necessary to hire a licensed electrician to install the correct outlet or wiring. Winston does not recommend wiring the unit direct.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

Ventilation clearances – To operate properly, the equipment 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 or feet. UHB cabinets 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.

CAUTION: High Temperature & 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, ovens, 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.
