FIRST USE
Before using the cabinet, familiarize yourself with the heater con-
trols. Plug the cabinet into a proven power source. The power indica-
tor lamp and fan will operate continuously whenever the heater is
plugged in. This unit operates on 1650 watts, 120 volts, 13.7 Amps,
NEMA 5-15P plug.
HEATER OPERATION
1. Turn thermostat knob to 160°F to 180°F; allow cabinet to preheat
for at least 20 minutes. Be sure cabinet door remains closed
during preheat time. Dial thermometer will display actual cabinet
temperature.
2. Food serving temperature will vary with the mass, type & quanti-
ty of food (see FOOD HOLDING GUIDE on page 7). To adjust
the temperature setting, rotate the HEAT dial clockwise to in-
crease temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease tempera-
ture to the desired set point. Dial settings range from 80°F to
210°F. HEAT cycle light will turn on and off as the heat thermo-
stat cycles.
3. Load food pans into cabinet. NOTE: Follow all food safety guide-
lines. Put hot, cooked food into the cabinet. This cabinet is not
intended to reheat food. Food must be cooked and at safe serv-
ing temperature prior to being placed in the cabinet.
5. During loading, the cabinet temperature will drop. Close door
and allow the cabinet to recover for 10-15 minutes before mov-
ing the cabinet.
6. Be sure to unplug the cord and wind it around the cord bracket
before moving the cabinet. Move the cabinet to the service area
as quickly as possible.
7. Upon reaching the service area, unwind the power cord and re-
connect the heater as soon as possible. Wait 5-10 minutes for
the cabinet to recover temperature (check the thermometer to
see if the temperature is at the desired level). Adjust thermostat
as needed.
8. When removing items, start at the bottom and work up. This will
keep food hotter and eliminate spillage onto lower items.
Operating ranges:
- air temp: 80ºF-210ºF
*For food safety reasons,
it is recommended that
the food be held at 140°F
or higher.
