The proper temperature range for the products being held,
and whether or not to open or close the door vents, will depend
on the type and quantity of product. When holding food for
prolonged periods, it is advisable to periodically check the internal temperature of each item with a food thermometer to assure
maintenance of the proper temperature range of 140° to 160°F
(60° to 71°C).

CARE and CLEANING
The cleanliness and appearance of this equipment will contribute considerably to operating efficiency and savory, appetizing food. There is an important relationship
between cleanliness and food flavor and aroma.
Good equipment that is kept clean works better
and lasts longer.
CLEAN THE BANQUET CART AFTER
EACH USE:
1.
Disconnect the banquet cart from its power source, and
let the unit cool.
2. Remove the plate carriers and wire shelves. Clean these
items with any good grease solvent or commercial detergent. Rinse well.
3. Clean the interior metal surfaces of the cabinet
with a damp cloth and any good alkaline or
alkaline chlorinated based commercial detergent or grease solvent at the recommended
strength. Use a plastic scouring pad or oven
cleaner for difficult areas. Avoid the use of
abrasive cleaning compounds, chloride based
cleaners, or cleaners containing quaternary salts. Rinse
carefully to remove all residue and wipe dry.
NOTE: Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on
stainless steel.
4. To help maintain the protective film coating on polished
stainless steel, clean the exterior of the cabinet with a
cleaner recommended for stainless steel surfaces. Spray
the cleaning agent on a clean cloth and wipe with the grain
of the stainless steel.
Always follow appropriate state or local health (hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable cleaning and sanitation
requirements for equipment.T
eTHERMOSTAT ACCURACY
The electronic thermostat is a precise instrument and is designed
to offer trouble free service. If you suspect the temperature inside
the holding compartment does not match the temperature indicated on the digital display, follow the instructions listed below.
1. Check to make certain the unit voltage matches the power
source. A power source less than that required to operate the
unit will result in inaccurate temperatures.
2. Verify the temperature inside the holding compartment with a
qualify thermal indicator.
A. With the exception of the wire shelves, completely empty
the holding compartment.
B. Make certain the holding cabinet sensor, located inside the
holding compartment at the left side of the unit, is completely clean.
C. Suspend the thermal indicator in the center of the holding
compartment.
D. Allow the temperature set on the electronic thermostat to
stabilize for a minimum of one hour before comparing the
digital display with the reading on the thermal indicator.
DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET DOOR(S) DURING
THE TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION PERIOD.
If the reading on the thermal indicator does not match the digital
display within 120°F (6°C), replace the electronic thermostat.
