HOT/COLD FOOD DELIVERY SYSTEM

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Food quality and service are more important than ever in today’s institutional food service market. Alto-Shaam recognizes this fact and developed the Delivery Cart using the highest quality stainless steel, insulating material, and the finest workmanship.

The Alto-Shaam Delivery Cart is a self-contained, complete hot/cold meal preparation and delivery system. This system is simple in concept and is designed for any completely new delivery method or for adaption into any existing institutional food service method of preparation.

The heat source for the hot compartments consist of a resistance wire element. This thermal cable element is wrapped in exact configurations against the walls of the heated compartments providing an evenly applied, highly controlled, heat input.

The design and operational characteristics of the ovens eliminate the need for a heat circulating fan, thereby eliminating the additional moisture loss associated with that type of heat induction. Because of the even heat application, the quality of hot food is maintained for longer periods of time. The actual time depends on the type and quantity of product.

The refrigeration section of the Delivery Cart utilizes a highly reliable commercial refrigeration unit. The cold compartment is fully insulated from the heated sections.

Through the best arrangement of the controls, operation of this appliance is simplified. One power switch automatically energizes all functions. A variable timer for each heated section automatically switches the oven mode from holding to a fixed reheating or cooking temperature. With the timer in the OFF position, the oven is at a reduced, fixed holding temperature.

RECEIVING & UNPACKING

The Alto-Shaam Delivery Cart has been thoroughly tested, checked for proper calibration, and inspected to ensure only the highest quality equipment is provided.

Upon receipt of the Delivery Cart, check the exterior of the shipping crate for any physical damage that could result in concealed damage to the contents. Uncrate the unit carefully and inspect for any shipping damage. Immediately report any damage to the delivering freight carrier. (See the

Transportation

Damage and Claims section located in this

manual.)

If the Delivery Cart was not received from the carrier in an upright position but appears to be undamaged, carefully restore the unit to the correct position as soon as possible. The cart must remain in an upright position for a minimum of

hours before use, to allow the

compressor oil to drain back into the crankcase.

Remove the uncrated unit from the skid with a lift-truck or roll it off the skid by means of the temporary ramp provided in the crate.

CAUTION

If a lift-truck is used to remove the Delivery Cart from the skid, caution should be used to avoid damage to the drive motor assembly located beneath the unit.

Save all the information and instructions packed inside the cart. Complete and return the warranty card to the factory as soon as possible to ensure prompt service in the event of a warranty parts or labor claim. .

HOT/COLD FOOD DELIVERY SYSTEM

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The circuit breaker for the 1600-DC

delivery cart is accessible behind the vent housing (compressor compartment). For cart operation the circuit breaker switch must be in the ON position.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

Sensors controlling the temperature of each compartment are preset at the factory. When the preset temperatures are reached, each digital temperature display will fluctuate within several degrees of the preset temperature. This is a normal operating condition of the electronic control and has no adverse effect on the temperature within the holding compartment.

CONTROL PANEL

Each food delivery cart features an electronic control panel to activate or control the compartment temperatures. The control can be factory ordered to indicate interior compartment temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. The control offers the operator the flexibility of independent compartment operation or the ability to operate both hot and cold compartments at the same time. Always preheat or prechill all compartments prior to using the cart.

COLD COMPARTMENTS

The digital display will illuminate and show the actual air temperature of the refrigerator (cooler). Models with a freezer will show the actual air temperature inside the freezer compartment.

➾ REFRIGERATOR 38°F (3°C)

Refrigeration is preset at 38°F (3°C). Following a prechill period of approximately one hour, the refrigeration compartment will have reached the preset temperature.

➾ FREEZER 0°F (-18° C)

Models with a freezer are preset at 0° F (-18°C). Following a prechill period of approximately one hour, the freezer compartment will have reached the preset temperature.

➾ AUTOMATIC DEFROST

The defrost function is a standard control operation which automatically initiates at the end of six (6) hours of continuous operation in either the cold mode or in the hot and cold mode. At the start of the defrost cycle "dFr" appears in the cooler display. Defrost is preset at the factory and timed for an approximate 35 minute cycle. During this time period all compressor function ceases operation in order to fully defrost the evaporator coil. At the completion of the defrost cycle the compressor will resume normal operation and quickly return the cold compartment to the proper preset temperature. The short time period for defrosting has no significant effect on the internal temperature of the refrigerated product.

HEATED COMPARTMENTS

Both cooking and holding temperatures are preset at the factory. When the control for the heated compartments is activated, the two digital displays will illuminate and indicate the actual air temperature inside each heated compartment. In order to reach the preset cooking temperature, the timer for each heated compartment must be activated. The preset cooking temperature will be maintained until the timer elapses to zero (

OFF). When the timer for each

heated compartment elapses to zero, the heated compartments will automatically decrease to the preset holding temperature. To maintain the preset holding temperature in each heated compartment, do

not activate the timers.

➾ HOLDING 190°F (88°C)

The heated compartments are preset at 190°F (88°C). Following a preheating period of approximately one hour, the heated cavities will have reached the preset temperature for holding hot foods.

➾ COOKING 26 5° F (129° C)

When the cooking timers are set, the heated compartments will automatically maintain the preset cooking (rethermalization/regeneration) temperature. Cooking time is displayed in minutes and can be increased

▲ , decreased ▼, or deactivated by pressing .. The temperature displays will indicate he actual air temperature within the heated compartments.

PLEASE NOTE: As an option, an alternate cooking/holding temperature may have been preset by the factory when the order was placed; cooking 285°F (141°C) holding; 180°F (88°C), 170°F (76°C), or 160°F (70°C).

CAUTION

To prevent the unit from being accidentally deactivated during the cooking mode the cooking timers must be manually deactivated or must be allowed to cycle to zero before pressing the power switch

OFF. Pressing the power

switch

OFF prior to deactivating

the timers will NOT result in any change to the control status.

Operation & Care Manual #8906 • 5..

Food flavor and aroma are

usually so closely

related that it is

difficult, if not impossible to separate them.

There is also an important, inseparable relationship between cleanliness and food flavor.

Cleanliness, top operating efficiency and appearance of equipment contribute considerably to savory, appetizing food. The safest way to ensure full natural food flavor is through cleanliness. This means good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible soil (microorganisms).

A comprehensive program of sanitation will provide essential cleanliness. All these factors are important to build quality service as the foundation of patient satisfaction.

Always follow appropriate local health (hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable cleaning and sanitation requirements for equipment.

Establishing a routine cleaning and maintenance schedule will help keep the hot/cold food delivery cart running at top operating efficiency and is an absolutely essential part of a comprehensive sanitation program.

Good equipment maintained and kept clean works better and lasts longer. Protect your investment.

CAUTION

Always disconnect the food delivery cart from the power source before cleaning or servicing.

After disconnecting the delivery cart from the power source, wipe the power cord if necessary, and insert it properly in the power cord holder located along the lower perimeter of the cart or the external end-brackets provided.

Remove all trays, drip pans and condensate pans. Wash these items in the dishwasher. Rinse well and let dry.

Clean all interior compartments after each meal service. Any spilled food should be removed 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.

NOTE: Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.

Rinse well to remove all residue and wipe dry. Allow surfaces to air dry for maximum effectiveness.

The cold compartments may be washed with a baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) solution. Use 3 tablespoons (50 mil) of baking soda for each quart (liter) of water.

To help maintain the protective film coating on polished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the cabinet with a cleaner recommended for stainless steel. Spray on a clean cloth and wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.

To ensure proper air circulation, the refrigeration condenser coil grill must be periodically checked and cleaned. Remove the vent housing cover from the control side of the cart. Brush or vacuum the grill approximately once a month or as soon as collection of lint, dust, or dirt is observed at the condenser. This is a very important maintenance procedure which many times is overlooked. Regular care and cleaning of the coils will result in longer service of the refrigeration unit and less energy to operate.

All delivery cart door gaskets are removable. To maintain a good door seal and to extend the life of the gaskets, periodically wash the gaskets with warm sudsy water. Always rinse well to remove all soap or detergent residue.

In the event the delivery cart is out of operation for an extended period of time, thoroughly clean and sanitize the cart and clean the door gaskets prior to use.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Tire pressure requires periodic checking. Add air as required to maintain a pressure level not to exceed 60 pounds per square inch (4 bars).

CCCCAAAAUUUUTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN!!

Do not steam clean the

exterior or interior of the

unit. Use caution to prevent

flooding the unit with any

liquid solution, particularly

the electrical control panel

and motor areas. Severe

damage or electrical hazard

could result, voiding the

warranty.

TIRE MAINTENANCE

Food flavor and aroma are usually so closely related that

it is difficult, if not impossible, to separate them. There is also an important, inseparable relationship between cleanliness and food flavor. Cleanliness, top operating efficiency, and appearance of equipment contribute considerably to savory, appetizing foods. Good equipment that is kept clean, works better and lasts longer.

Most food imparts its own particular aroma and many

foods also absorb existing odors. Unfortunately, during this absorption, there is no distinction between GOOD and BAD odors. The majority of objectionable flavors and odors troubling food service operations are caused by bacteria growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness, stale or other OFF flavors are usually the result of germ activity.

The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor is

through comprehensive cleanliness. This means good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible soil (germs). A thorough approach to sanitation will provide essential cleanliness. It will assure an attractive appearance of equipment, along with maximum efficiency and utility. More importantly, a good sanitation program provides one of the key elements in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.

A controlled holding environment for prepared foods is

just one of the important factors involved in the prevention of food-borne illnesses. Temperature monitoring and control during receiving, storage, preparation, and the service of foods are of equal importance.

The most accurate method of measuring safe temperatures of both hot and cold foods is by internal product temperature. A quality thermometer is an effective tool for

this purpose, and should be routinely used on all products that require holding at a specific temperature.

A comprehensive sanitation program should focus on the training of staff in basic sanitation procedures. This includes personal hygiene, proper handling of raw foods, cooking to a safe internal product temperature, and the routine monitoring of internal temperatures from receiving through service.

Most food-borne illnesses can be prevented through proper temperature control and a comprehensive program of sanitation. Both these factors are important to build quality service as the foundation of customer satisfaction. Safe food handling practices to prevent food-borne illness is of critical importance to the health and safety of your customers. HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control Points, is a quality control program of operating procedures to assure food integrity, quality, and safety. Taking steps necessary to augment food safety practices are both cost effective and relatively simple. While HACCP guidelines go far beyond the scope of this manual, additional information is available by contacting the USDA/FDA Food-borne Illness Education Information Center at (301)504-6803.

Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service personnel employ varied methods of cooking. Proper holding temperatures for a specific food product must be based on the moisture content of the product, product density, volume, and proper serving temperatures. Safe holding temperatures must also be correlated with palatability in determining the length of holding time for a specific product.

Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of product moisture content without the addition of water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining maximum natural product moisture preserves the natural flavor of the product and provides a more genuine taste. In addition to product moisture retention, the gentle properties of Halo Heat maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabinet without the necessity of a heat distribution fan, thereby preventing further moisture loss due to evaporation or dehydration.

In an enclosed holding environment, too much moisture content is a condition which can be relieved. A product achieving extremely high temperatures in preparation must be allowed to decrease in temperature before being placed in a controlled holding atmosphere. If the product is not allowed to decrease in temperature, excessive condensation will form increasing the moisture content on the outside of the product.

Most Halo Heat Holding Equipment is provided with a thermostat control between 60° and 200°F (16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped with vents, close the vents for moist holding and open the vents for crisp holding.

MOTOR DRIVE BRAKE

IF DRIVE BATTERY LOSES CHARGE IN TRANSIT,

DISENGAGE BRAKE

1. Move handle of brake clockwise to the OFF position. Turn Drive System Power Switch OFF.

2. Manually push the cart to an appropriate outlet and connect power cord for a minimum of 30 minutes.

FOR A FULL CHARGE, CART MUST BE

CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE FOR A MINIMUM

1 HOUR.

3. Following recharge period, move brake handle counter-clockwise to the

ON position.

To keep batteries fully charged, the cart must remain connected to the power source when not in service. Turn Drive System Power Switch OFF when not in use.

BATTERY CHARGER

The battery charger is located on the Motor Drive Assembly. The charger includes one bi-color indicator light to show the charging state of the battery.

A. The yellow light indicates the charger is in opera-

tion but the motor drive battery has not yet reached full charge.

B. A green light indicates the battery has reached full

charge. Charger can operate indefinitely without harming the battery.

The motor drive brake must be engaged at all times unless it becomes necessary to move the cart manually. After moving the cart manually, the wheels of the cart and the motor drive assembly will respond to even a slight incline unless the brake is reset. Maintaining a "set" brake to keep the cart in a stationary position is an important safety factor.
