This appliance is intended for use in commercial
establishments where all operators are familiar
with the purpose, limitations, and associated
hazards of this appliance. Operating instructions
and warnings must be read and understood by all
operators and users.
1. Make sure the unit is connected to the
appropriate power source.
2. Use hand protection when handling
hot items.
3. Preheat the unit for 30 minutes before use.
4. Be certain only hot foods are placed
into the unit.
BEFORE INITIAL U SE:
Before operating the unit, cle an both the interior
and exterior of the unit with a clean, da mp cloth
and mild soap solution. Rinse carefully. Clean and
install the drawer warmer pa n(s). The drawer
assembly is completely remova ble. Clean as a
sanitation measure.
HEATIN G CHARACTERISTIC S
FOO D P RODUC T T I PS
Bread and Rol l s
Breads and rol ls are traditionally difficult to hold
for prolonged periods due to th e very low
moisture content of th ese products. Fo r best
results and longest po ssible holding life, it is
recommended these pro ducts be placed in a
plastic bag while in the war m ing drawer. Breads
and rolls should be hel d at a temperature no
higher than 120° to 140°F (49° to 60°C).
Pot atoe s
— for the best results when hold ing potatoes:
1. Do not overcook .
Regardless of the temp erature at which potatoes
are cooked or what type of oven is used, it is
important that this product do es not achieve a
final inter nal prod uct temperature in excess of
195°F (91°C). Over-cooki ng will further reduce
the moisture content and conse quently , reduce
the holding life. Potatoes should be re moved
from the oven when they reach an internal
temperature of approx imately 190°F (88°C).
After they are removed from the oven, the
internal temperature will continue to increase.
The drawer warmer is equippe d with a special
heating cable. Through this Halo Heat concept,
the heating cable is mounted ag ainst th e walls of the
unit to provide an even ly appli ed heat source
controlled by a ther most at. The design an d
operational characteristics of the un it elimi nate the
need for a moisture pan or a heat circulating fan.
Through even heat appl ication , the qua lity of food
products is maintaine d up to se veral ho urs or more.

2. Allow po t atoe s to sta biliz e b e fore pl acing
in dra wer warm e r.
When potatoes are remo ved from a conventional
high-temperature oven, they have an ex tremely
high surface temperature. If they ar e placed in
the drawer warmer wh ile they are this hot on the
outside, moisture wil l be pull ed from the inside of
the potato and condensation wi ll form on the
outside. Holding results under these conditio ns
will not be totally satisfactory. Remove potatoes
from the oven and allow the surface temperature
to stabilize before pl acing th em in the controlled
holding atmosphere of the draw er warmer.

GENERAL HOLDING GUIDELINES
Chefs , cooks and other specialized food service
perso nne l employ vari ed methods of cooking. Proper
holdi ng temperatures f or a specific food product m ust
be based on the moisture cont ent of the p roduct,
product density, volume, and proper serv ing
tempe rat ure s. Safe hold ing temperatures mu st also
be correlated with pa latability in de termining the length
of ho lding time fo r a specifi c product.
Halo Heat maintains the maximum am ount of product
moist ure content without the addition of water, w ater
vapor, or steam. Ma intaining maxi mum natural product
moist ure preserves the natural flavor of the p rod uct and
provides a more ge nui ne taste. In addition to pr oduct
moist ure retention, the gentle properties of Halo He at
maint ain a consistent temperature thro ugh out the
cabin et without the necessity of a heat di str ibu tion fan,
thereby preventing further moisture loss du e to
evapo rat ion or dehy dra tio n.
When product is re mov ed from a h igh temperature
cooki ng environment for immediate tran sfe r into
equip men t with the lower temperature required for hot
food holding, condensati on can form on the o utside of
the product and o n the inside of plastic containers used
in self-service appli cat ion s. Allowing th e product to
release the initial steam and h eat produced by high
tempe rat ure cooking can alleviate this condition. To
preserve the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods
howev er, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the
only time period allowed for t he initial he at to be
released from the p rod uct.
Most Halo Heat h olding equipment is provided with
a t hermostat cont rol between 60° and 200°F
(16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped w ith vents,
close the vents fo r moist holdi ng and open the vents
for crisp holding.
If th e unit i s equipped with a thermos tat indicating
a r ange of be twe en 1 and 10, use a metal-stemmed
indic ati ng ther mometer to measure the internal
tempe rat ure of the pro duct(s) being he ld. Adjust t he
thermo sta t setting t o achieve t he best overa ll setting
based on internal product temperatur e.

PRO TECT I NG STAIN L ESS STEE L S URFACES
It is important to guard against corrosion in the
care of stainless steel surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,
or inappropriate chemicals can completely destroy
the protective sur face layer of stainless steel.
Abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements will
abrade surfaces causing damage to this protective
coating and will eventually result in areas of
corrosion. Even water, particularly hard water that
contains high to moderate concentrations of
chloride, will cause oxidation and pitting that result
in rust and corrosion. In addition, many acidic
foods spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces
are contributing factors that will corrode sur faces.
Proper cleaning agents, mater ials, an d method s
are vital to maintaining the ap pearanc e and life of
this appliance. Spilled foods should be remove d
and the area wiped as so on as pos sible but at the
very least, a minimum of once a day. Always
thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a cleaning
agent and wipe standing water as quickl y as
possible after rinsing.
CLE ANIN G AG ENTS
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for use
on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be
chloride-free compounds and must not contain
quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel sur faces. Always use
the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer's
recommended strength. Contact your local cleaning
supplier for product recommendations.
CLE ANIN G MAT ERIAL S
The cleaning function can usua lly be ac complis hed
with the proper cleani ng agent and a soft, clean
cloth. When more aggressive methods mu st be
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on
difficult areas and ma ke certa in to scr ub with the
visible grain of sur face met al to avo id surface
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scour ing
pads, or scrapers to re move foo d residue.

S A N I TAT I O N
Food flavor and a roma are usua lly so closely related
that it is diff icu lt, if not impossible, to separate them.
There is also an important, inse par able relationship
betwe en cleanliness and food flavor. Cleanliness, top
opera tin g efficiency, an d appearance o f equipment
contribu te considerably t o savory, a ppe tizing foods.
Good equipment that is kept cl ean, works be tte r and
lasts longer.
Most food imparts i ts own p art icular aroma and many
foods also absorb e xisting odors. Unfortunately, d uri ng
this absorption, there is no disti nct ion between GO OD
and BAD odors. The majority of objectionable f lav ors
and odors troubling food service op erations are c aus ed
by ba cteria growth. Sour ness, ranc idi ty, mustiness,
stale or other OFF flavors ar e usually the result of
ger m activity.
The easiest way to insure f ull , natural f ood flavor is
through comprehensive clean lin ess. This mean s good
control of both vi sib le soil (d irt ) and invisib le soil
(germs ). A thoroug h approach to sa nitation will
provide essential clea nli ness. It wi ll assure an attractive
appea ran ce of equipme nt, along with maximum
effic ien cy and util ity . More importa ntl y, a good
sanit ati on program provides one of th e key element s
in the prevention o f food-bor ne illnesses.
A c ontrolled holding environment for prepared foods
is just one o f the important factors involved in the
preventi on of food-bor ne illnesses. Temperature
monitori ng and cont rol during receiving, storage,
preparat ion , and the service of fo ods are of eq ual
impor tan ce.
The most accurate method of meas uring safe
temperat ure s of both hot and c old foods is by inter nal
product temperature. A quality thermo met er is an
effec tiv e tool for this purpose, and should be routinely
used on all p rod uct s that requ ire holding at a specific
temperat ure .
A c omprehensive sani tat ion program sh oul d focus on
the training of st aff in basi c sanitation p roc edu res .
This includes persona l hygiene, proper handling of ra w
foods, cooking to a safe in ter nal p rod uct temperature,
and the routine mo nit oring of inte r nal temperatures
from rec eiving through se rvice.
Most food-borne i lln esses can b e prevented through
proper temperature control and a co mpr ehe nsive
program of sanitation. Both these fact ors are i mpo rtant
to bu ild quality service as the foundation of customer
satis fac tio n. Safe f ood handling p rac tic es to prevent
food-bor n e illness i s of critical importance to the health
and safety of your customers. HA CCP, an acronym for
Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control Points, is a quality
control program of op era ting procedures t o assure food
integ rit y, quality, and safety. Taking s tep s necessary to
augme nt food safety practices are b oth cost ef fec tive
and relatively simple. While HACCP guidelines go far

MANUAL CONTROL
THERMO S TAT and H EAT LIGHT SEQUENCE
Whene ver the thermo sta t is tur ned “ON,” the heat indicator light will i ndicate the powe r ON/OFF condit ion of
the heating cable, and consequent ly, the cycling of the c abi net as it maintains the dialed cavity temperature. If
the light does n ot illuminate af ter normal start-up, the m ain power source, ther most at, and/or light must be
check ed. If the w arming cabinet does not h old the t emp erature as di ale d, the cali bra tion of the thermostat must
be checked. If the warmer fail s to heat or heats cont inuously with th e thermostat “OFF,” the t her mostat m ust
be initially checked for proper o peration. If thes e items ar e checked and found to be in order, a continuity an d
resistan ce check of the heating ca ble should be made. SEE CIRCUIT DIAGR AM.
THERMO S TAT CALIBRATION
The thermostat is precision calibra ted at the factory. Normal ly, no adjustm ent or recalibrat ion is necessa ry
unless the ther most at has been mishandled in transit, changed or abused w hil e in servi ce. A thermo sta t with a
sensi ng bulb operates on hydraulic pressure, consequent ly, any bendi ng of the b ulb results in a change i n its
volum e, and alters the accuracy of the ther mostat c alibration.
A t hermostat shou ld be checked or recalibrated by placing a quality, ther mal i ndi cator at the center of an empty
holdi ng cavity. DO NOT CALIBRATE WITH AN Y FOOD PRODUCT IN THE C ABI NET. Th e thermostat
shoul d be set at 140°F (60°C), and should be allowed to stabilize at that setting for a m ini mum of one hour.
Followin g temperature st abi liz ation, the c enter of the ther mal s win g of the air temperature within the c abinet
shoul d approximately c oin cid e with t he ther mostat d ial setting.
If ca libration is necessary, the calibration screw should be adjusted with g rea t care. The calibration scre w of the
thermo sta t is locat ed in the t hermostat dial shaft. With the shaft held st ationary, a minute, clockwise motion of
the calibration screw appreciably lowe rs the ther m ost at setting. A reverse, or counter-clockwis e motion
apprecia bly raises the thermostat sett ing . After a chi eving the d esi red cycling of the ther m ost at, the calibrat ion
screw must be seal ed. Place a few drops of enamel seal ant directly o n the calibratio n screw.
