UNIT INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

This unit must be installed by qualified personal in compliance with electrical codes. The following distances must be kept between the unit and the surrounding surfaces for safe operation. It is recommended that two (2) or more people assist with the installation of this unit.

NOTE:
This unit must be installed in an area that will not be affected by the heat from the unit. Damage to solid surface counter tops or other materials in the heat zone of this product are not covered under warranty.

KOOL-TOUCH® TRIM INSTALLATION

The Kool-Touch® trim option is shipped separately. It will need to be installed on the unit. We recommend that this option be installed before the unit is mounted.

1. Beginning on the side that does not have the control box (A), slide the Kool-Touch® (B) panel into position by starting at one end of the unit. Slide the Kool-Touch® panel in the channel (C) on the side of the unit until it is in place. (Ganged units will require two pieces trimmed to fit). See Figure 1.
   
   Figure 1. Installation of Kool-Touch® Panels.

2. The side of the unit that has the control box will need to be trimmed. Measure the area that is to be covered by the Kool-Touch® panel.

3. Mark the length to be covered on the Kool-Touch® panel.

4. Place a damp soft cloth under the end of the Kool-Touch® panel to be cut to prevent the Kool-Touch® panel from scratching or slipping while it is being cut.

5. Using a hacksaw with a fine metal or plastic blade, slowly cut the panel to length.

6. Install the panel on the unit in the same manner as the opposite side.

UNIT INSTALLATION – DIRECT WIRE MOUNTING

TOP MOUNT INSTALLATION

Top mount brackets may be purchased as an option for direct-wired units. The brackets are available in 1” height or 2” height. Dual units require two sets of brackets.

NOTE:
Top mount brackets may not be used with units longer than 72”.

1. Access the area the unit will be mounted in and mark the location the center mount brackets will be mounted. Make sure the material the unit will be mounted to will support the weight of the unit.

2. Secure the top mount bracket (A) to the mounting holes (B) using lockwashers (C) and screws (D). Repeat on the other end. See Figure 2.
   
   Figure 2. Installing Top Mount Brackets.

3. Mount the brackets and unit to a suitable surface using holes (E) and suitable hardware.

CENTER MOUNT INSTALLATION

Top mount brackets may be purchased as an option for direct-wired units. The brackets are available in 1” height or 2” height. Dual units require brackets on each unit.

NOTE:
For units longer than 72”, a minimum of three (3) mounting points consisting of the two ends and the center of the unit must be used.

1. Access the area the unit will be mounted in and mark the location the center mount brackets will be mounted. Make sure the material the unit will be mounted to will support the weight of the unit.

2. The brackets must be located near the ends of the unit for greatest stability.

3. Mount the hanging bracket (A) with the “T” slot cutout, in the locations identified in step 1. Figure 3.
   
   Figure 3. Installing Center Mount Brackets.

4. Loosen the two screws (B) located in the center of the flat channel plates (C) far enough so they do not protrude out of the bottom of the plate.

5. Slide the channel plates (C) into the channel (D) on the top of the unit.

6. Measure the distance from the center points of the hanging brackets (A) and slide the channel plates (C) in the channel (D) on the top of the unit so the center screws (E) in the channel plate (C) match the distance between the center of the “T” slot (G) in the brackets (A).

7. Tighten the two outside screws (B) in the channel plate (C) to lock the channel plate in position.

8. Loosen the nut (F) in the center of the channel plate (C) but DO NOT REMOVE.

9. Raise the unit and align the nut (F) in the center of the channel plate (C) with the “T” in the bracket (A) mounted in step 2.

10. Slide the nut (F) through the “T” slot and TIGHTEN THE NUT to keep the unit in place. THE NUT MUST BE TIGHTENED TO PREVENT THE UNIT FROM SLIPPING OUT OF THE BRACKET.

CHAIN MOUNT INSTALLATION

NOTE: Units over 72” in length, must use the center mounting point.

1. The unit is shipped with mounting tabs (A) located on each end of the unit. For units that are longer than 72”, three (3) mounting points consisting of the two ends and the center of the unit must be used. See Figure 4.
2. Loosen the screws (B) holding the mounting tabs in place but do not remove. Rotate tabs (A) to an upright position and the attach chain to holes (C). The chain must support each side of each end of the unit evenly.
3. Hang chain from an appropriate hanging point directly over the area to be kept warm. Make sure the hanging point is adequate for the total weight of the unit and chain.
4. Adjust height of the unit making sure it is level and each point is supporting the weight of the unit evenly.
5. Tighten screws (B) to secure the mounting tabs.
   
   Figure 4. Chain Mount Installation.

REMOTE MOUNTING OF CONTROL(S)

NOTE: Installations must be in accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations.

Control boxes must be mounted securely to surfaces using proper hardware. Mount the control box(es) in such a way they will not be bumped or accidently switched on or off.

Figure 5. Control Panel with Switch and Infinite Control.

Figure 6. Control Panel with Switches

A. ON/OFF Toggle Switch. Move the toggle switch to the up position for “ON”. Move the toggle switch to the down position for “OFF”. The switch(es) may operate a heating element(s) or light(s).
B. INFINITE HEAT CONTROL. Rotate the INFINITE HEAT CONTROL off zero “0” to turn control on. Rotate to desired heat.

ON BOARD TOGGLE CONTROLS

MOUNTING OPTIONS

NOTE: UL requires all cord and plug heat strips, from all manufacturers be mounted on legs. All heat strips are custom ordered and therefore cannot be cancelled or returned per Vollrath Terms and Conditions.

Figure 8. Stainless Steel C-Leg Stand – 13” (33 cm)

Figure 9. Stainless Steel T-Leg Stand – Adjustable 8 to 15” (22.8 to 38.1 cm)

NOTE: Certain containers such as foam or plastic may melt if left in the heat zone. Also, food left in the heat zone may begin to dry if left in the heat zone for an extended time.

1. Make sure there are no combustible materials in contact or near the food-warming unit.

2. Turn the heat switch(es) to the “ON”position or set the INFINITE HEAT CONTROL to desired setting. Allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 minutes before placing food in the heat zone.

3. If the unit is equipped with lights, switch the lights on.

4. Place food items to be kept warm in the heat zone. Regularly check the food temperature. Adjust controls as necessary. See Note:
   NOTE:
   Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum of 140 ºF (60 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth. Maintain correct water level and temperature setting. Periodically remove food container and check the water level. Add water in needed.

5. When not in use turn the heat switch(es) to the “OFF” position or rotate the infinite heat control to the zero (0) position. Turn the lights to the “OFF” position.

ADJUSTING THE HEAT REFLECTOR

The heat strip units have been equipped with a directional heat reflector to allow the heat zone to be directed to best suite each application.

1. Turn the switch(es) to the “OFF” position(s). Allow the unit to cool completely before continuing.

2. Make sure unit is cool. This is for safety and the reflector can be moved more easily when the unit is at room temperature.

3. Remove the small screws (A) from the holes on the end alignment plates. There is one screw on each side of the end plate that secures the reflector. See Figure 10.
   
   Figure 10. Reflector Positions.

4. Pivot the reflector in the desired direction.

5. There are 3 alignment screw holes to choose from that are located on the outside end of the unit. Align the screw hole in the reflector end with the appropriate hole in the end plate for the desired direction of the reflector.

6. Place the screws in the appropriate location and tighten.

CLEANING

1. Turn the power switch(es) off. Turn the light switch(es) off. Allow the unit to completely cool.
2. Wipe the unit exterior with a clean damp cloth.
3. Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers or souring pad to clean the unit. These can damage the finish.
4. Thoroughly wipe off any mild soap or chemical cleaners. Residue could corrode the surface of the unit.
