Shelves And Shelving

• Design Line Hot Cupboards are furnished with adjustable shelves. To alter the height of the shelf/ shelves the following procedure must be used.
• First, remove the doors from your hot cupboard by lifting the door retaining ba at one end and removing them. This will allow the doors to swing out towards you.
• Take hold of the right-hand door & pull it towards you so the bottom of the
• door swings forward. As you do this lift the door and gently disengage it from the runner above.
• Repeat this procedure with the left-hand door and access is then available to the shelf and shelf support system.
• Lift the mid-shelf up & out of the hot cupboard chamber, assistance may
• be required on the 1500 &1800 models.
• Remove the horizontal mid-shelf support bars front and rear.
• Re-position the support bar clips at the required height and re-fit the shelf.
• Re-assembly is a reversal of the above- left-hand door must be re-hung on the rear track, right-hand door on the front.

NOTE

• Doors will not function correctly if this is not observed.
• Check the doors run smoothly before replacing the door retaining bar.
• Achieving Best Performance
• Do not use Hot Cupboards for reheating or cooking purposes.
• The hot cupboard is designed to keep or hold pre-cooked food for short periods.
• Ensure the Hot Cupboard base shelf element cover is in place. Ensure the slots are not all covered entirely. This will allow cabinet air to circulate& assist with even heating.
• Do not cover the base shelf with tin foil as this causes poor performance & premature failure of the heating elements beneath.
• Keep cupboard doors closed as much as possible to retain heat. This is particularly important if your model is a pass-through type Hot Cupboard with sliding doors fitted on each side.
• The area underneath the Hot Cupboard must not be blocked & the legs/ castors must never be removed.
• This area must be kept clear to allow air to enter the cupboard and assist in warm air circulation inside.
• Turn the appliance toa lower setting when not in use for long periods to maximize its working life, conserve energy and be more cost-effective.
