Electrical Shock Hazard
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.
Do not over fill pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock.

NOTICE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage will cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage, modification to the power cord or electrical components can damage unit and will void the warranty.

NOTICE: Do not use food pans deeper than 6″ (15.2 cm).

1. Open the access door and check that the drain valve is in the closed position.

2. Plug electrical power cord into a grounded outlet matching the nameplate rated voltage.

3. Turn the power switch to the ON position. Note: This equipment features a bump start, which starts the compressor in stages to protect the components. When the equipment is switched ON, the compressor will cycle on and off three times. After the third cycle the equipment should function as normal.

4. Allow the equipment to run for approximately 30 minutes. For the best performance when using ice with this equipment, allow equipment to run for approximately 2 hours before adding ice. This will help the ice remain solid.

5. Place containers of properly chilled food into the pre-chilled equipment.

6. Regularly check the food temperature.
   NOTICE: Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that food be held at a maximum of 41 ºF (5 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.

7. When finished using the equipment place the power switch in the OFF position.

Recommended cleaners for Plexiglas® and acrylic include:

• Novus® #1
• Plexi-Clear
• Brillianize®

What Not To Do

• Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, alcohol, acetone or dry cleaning products. Cleaners with these chemicals will damage Plexiglas®, acrylic and other plastics.
• Do not use paper towels, abrasive materials, scratching cleansers, razor blades, brushes, steel wool or scouring pads, such as Scotch Brite™ pads.
• Do not use WD-40® or petroleum, industrial or commercial cleaning products.

Removing Minor Scratches

Fine scratches can be removed with a specialized mild abrasive polish such as Novus #2, or Novus #3. Heavier scratches may require sanding and buffing. Hand sand with series of sandpapers with increasingly finer grits (250,400,600). Then use a buffing wheel and buffing compound.
