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
24
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. .
