FUNCTION AND PURPOSE
This unit is intended and designed to keep food at proper serving
temperatures. This unit is made for use in an ambient temperature below 86 °F
(30 °C). Using in warmer temperatures will take unit out of NSF compliance.
Modifying refrigeration parameters may void the warranty.
Hot food stations are not intended or designed to cook raw food or to reheat
prepared food. Cold food stations are not intended or designed to cool or
chill food. Food must be prepared and placed in food stations at proper
serving temperatures. Refrigerated cold stations are best used for holding
periods up to four hours. For best performance, stainless steel containers are
recommended.
This equipment is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use.
UNPACKING THE EQUIPMENT
- Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic from the equipment.
- Clean any glue residue left over from the plastic or tape.
- Dispose all packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner.
INSTALLATION
This unit must be installed on a dedicated electrical circuit in accordance with local codes. Installation must be qualified service personnel.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
- One, two and three well drop-ins are zero clearance on all sides.
- Four well drop-in requires zero clearance on sides and 1 1/2” clearance at the bottom.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Hot/Cold Drop-ins must have adequate ventilation. Minimum requirements are listed in the table below.
Drop-in

Two Well| 1| 1| 8″ x 10″
Three- Well| 1| 1| 8″ x 10″
Four-Well| 2| 2| 8″ x 10″
The preferred location for the venting cutouts is on the short ends of the cabinet. If the short end are not available the long sides can be used. See drawings below. When louvers are installed in the long sides, Vollrath recommends using a fan to assist air movement.
CONTROL BOX MOUNTING
Controls must be mounted on the operator side (raceway side) for proper orientation with wells. The control box requires 3″ of depth in the cabinet when using the included frame. Without the frame, the control box requires 4″ of depth in the cabinet.

Top Mount
- Place a bead of silicone sealer rated at a minimum of 450 °F (232 °C) around the well flange to prevent water from leaking into control areas.
- Set the clips into slots
- Tighten the thumbscrews slowly and in an alternating pattern to evenly compress the silicone.
Bottom Mount
Place a bead of silicone sealer rated at a minimum of 450 °F (232 °C) between
the countertop and the inside of the well to prevent water from leaking into
control areas, and in mounting holes when using rivets or other fasteners.
CONTROLS
- A ON/OFF SWITCH. Switches the equipment power “ON” or “OFF”.
- B MODE SELECTOR SWITCH. The down position selects refrigeration mode. The up position selects heating mode The center position selects neutral mode. When the switch is in the center or up positions, the drain valve will be closed.

- Preheat the water in the wells by covering wells with empty food containers or covers. Turn the heat control to the maximum heat setting. Preheat for 60 minutes.
- Place container of hot food product, above 140 °F (60 °C), into preheated equipment.
- Reduce heat setting to a level that will maintain a safe holding temperature and maintain food quality.
NOTICE: 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 if needed.
