II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM
Your cabinet is designed to MAINTAIN the
temperature of HOT prepared foods. The
module is equipped with a thermostatically
controlled heater and a blower for air
circulation. A POWER switch is provided along
with a red light to indicate when the unit is
switched ON. Next to the POWER switch is the
TEMPERATURE control.
A short, grounded, module power supply cord is
supplied fixed to the module. This power supply
cord must be unplugged from the cabinet power
supply cord as the module is removed from the
cabinet. The cabinet power supply cord is fixed
to the underside of the cabinet. Likewise, when
installing the module into a cabinet, the module
power supply cord must be plugged into the
cabinet power supply cord.
1. Refer to the data plate located near the
power cord for the electrical specifications of
cabinet. With the power switch off, plug the
cord into the appropriate rated, grounded
receptable. Cabinets rated at 120V 20
amp must be plugged into a 125VAC 20
amp receptacle and must be used on an
individual branch circuit. Cabinets rated at
120V 15 amp may be plugged into either a
15 amp or 20 amp receptacle.
Cabinets rated at 220V 1650W must be
plugged into a 250VAC 15 amp receptacle.
NOTE: A 15 amp cabinet can be plugged
into 20 amp service. A 20 amp unit must be
plugged into a 20 amp receptacle.
2. Snap POWER switch to ON. The red POWER
light will now glow and the blower will begin
circulating air. Note: This is not a foot switch.
Operating it with your foot can damage the
switch and make the cabinet inoperable.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE thermostat to a setting
of 10. The holding unit is now in operation.
4. After allowing the cabinet to PREHEAT
FOR APPROXIMATELY 45/60 MINUTES,
reduce the thermostat setting to 6/8. In a
room of average temperature (72°F) this
should provide 150° to 170°F (65°-76°C).
Adjustments to the temperature may be
made as necessary.
THIS IS A HOT FOOD HOLDING
CABINET AND IS NOT INTENDED TO
RETHERMALIZE COLD FOOD. MAKE
SURE FOOD AND CABINETS ARE AT
PROPER TEMPERATURES BEFORE
PLACING FOOD IN THE CABINET.
NOTE: The POWER (red) light will glow
as soon as the POWER switch is switched
ON and will continue to glow until switched
OFF. The blower will operate as long as the
POWER switch is ON.
It is not necessary at the end of the operating
day to disrupt the TEMPERATURE setting in
order to turn the unit OFF. By switching the
POWER switch to OFF, the unit is no longer
operating. By switching the POWER switch to
ON when resuming operations, the cabinet
will attain the preset level (or it can be
preheated at a setting of 10 before adjusting
to the desired temperature).
B. CANNED FUEL SYSTEM (Optional)
The Canned Fuel system does not require
the electric heating module to be turned on
for operation. Each bottom-mounted drawer
holds 2 cans of fuel. Lift slightly and pull the
drawer out until it stops or lift the drawer front
and remove it from the cabinet. Place a fuel
can into each round cutout and light the fuel.
Close the drawer.
NOTE: Filling each canned fuel drawer with
2 cans of fuel will heat the unit to 200°F in
approximately 45 minutes. In order to maintain
a desired temperature, some of the canned
fuel cans may need to be extinguished.
Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for canned
fuel usage.
