For Your Safety!
These precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow these precautions could result in injury to yourself and others.
To reduce risk of injury or damage to the equipment:

Use only grounded electrical outlets matching the nameplate-rated voltage.
Have the equipment installed by qualified personnel.
Do not use an extension cord with this equipment. Do not plug this equipment into a power strip or multi-outlet power cord.
Unit should only be used in a flat, level position.
Do not spray controls or outside of equipment with liquids or cleaning agents.
Do not clean the equipment with steel wool.
Keep equipment and power cord away from open flames, electric burners or excessive heat.
Do not operate unattended.
Do not operate equipment in public areas and/or around children.
Do not operate if equipment has been damaged or is malfunctioning in any way.

Function and Purpose

This unit is intended to hold containers of pre-chilled cold food at the proper serving temperature for service. This unit is not designed or intended to cool hot food or cool any item not properly chilled before being placed in the unit.
Refrigerated cold pans are best used for holding periods up to four hours.
For best performance, stainless steel containers are recommended.
Before using this equipment it must be cleaned and dried thoroughly.
This equipment is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use.

Unpacking the Equipment and Initial Setup
When no longer needed, dispose of all packaging and materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

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.
NOTE
The refrigerated models must be provided with adequate ventilation. The minimum requirement is the equivalent of 80 square inches (516 cm2) of air exhaust.
Have the unit installed only by qualified service personnel. The cutout opening in the counter must be under the chart below. All openings must be within 1/8” of the stated dimension and have a 7/8” radius at the corners. Use the watertight gasket provided to seal between the counter and unit to prevent water from leaking into control areas.
NOTE
All cutout openings must be within 1/8” of listed opening sizes and have a corner radius of 7/8”. Cutout dimensions given in inches and (cm).
Refer to the Cutout Dimension Chart in this Operator’s Manual for cutout dimensions.
Place the watertight gasket over the cut-out and center the well.
Tighten the thumbscrews (C) slowly and in an alternating pattern to evenly compress the gasket. See Figure 1. The gasket should create an even gap between the well and the mounting surface.

Features and Controls

A: DRAIN VALVE. Used to empty water from the well(s).
B: ON/OFF SWITCH (some models). Switches the equipment power ON or OFF.
C: THUMBSCREW Secures the unit to the mounting surface.

Operation

****	WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. The liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock. Do not damage the power cord.

Do not overfill wells, pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Unplug the unit before performing service, draining or removing spillage pans and trays. Do not spray water or cleaning products. Do not use a power cord that has been modified or damaged.

Refrigerated Units

Check the drain valve (A) to verify it is in the CLOSED position to prevent water from draining out. See Figure 1. The valve is in the CLOSED position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.
Plug the equipment into a properly grounded electrical supply matching the nameplate rating. Damage to the equipment can occur if incorrect power is supplied to equipment.
Turn the power switch (B) to the “ON” position. This unit does not have an adjustable temperature setting. Allow the unit to run for approximately 30 minutes. For the best performance when using ice with this unit, allow unit to run for approximately 2 hours before adding ice. This will help the ice remain solid.
Place containers of properly chilled food into the pre-chilled unit.
Regularly check the food temperature.
NOTE:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a maximum of 41 ºF (5 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.
When finished using the unit turn the power switch (B) to the “OFF” position. Remove the food containers.
Open the drain valve (A) and drain the water. The valve is in the OPEN position when the handle of the valve is aligned with the body of the valve.
Close the drain valve. Rotate the valve to the CLOSED position, when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.

Non-Refrigerated Units

Check the drain valve (A) to verify it is in the CLOSED position to prevent water from draining out. The valve is in the CLOSED position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.
- Place ice into the non-refrigerated well. For best performance allow the unit to cool for approximately 1 hour before use.
Place containers of properly chilled food into the pre-chilled unit.
Regularly check the food temperature.
NOTE:
Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a maximum of 41 ºF (5 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.
When finished using the unit, remove the food containers.
Open the drain valve (A) and drain the water. The valve is in the OPEN position when the handle of the valve is aligned with the body of the valve.
Close the drain valve (A). Rotate the valve to the CLOSED position, when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.

Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your equipment daily.
NOTE:
Do not use caustic cleaning chemicals, steel wool or commercial lime removal products to clean the equipment.
Thoroughly rinse equipment with water after cleaning.

****	WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. The liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock. Do not damage the power cord.

Do not overfill wells, pans or trays. Liquid could contact the electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical shock. Unplug the unit before performing service, draining or removing spillage pans and trays. Do not spray water or cleaning products. Do not use a power cord that has been modified or damaged.

When finished using the unit turn the power switch (B) to the “OFF” position. Remove the food containers.
Open the drain valve (A) and drain the water. The valve is in the OPEN position when the handle of the valve is aligned with the body of the valve.
Using a damp cloth, or sponge dipped in soapy water to clean the inside of the well and the outside of the equipment.
Close the drain valve (A). Rotate the valve to the CLOSED position, when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body of the valve.
