HOLDING CABINET INSTALLATION

UNPACKING AND SETUP

For both safety and convenience, the cabinet must be installed in a location to provide easy access to the controls and should be positioned at a safe and convenient height to provide easy loading and unloading of hot products. A 6-inch (152mm) minimum clearance must be allowed at the back and both sides. The hot food holding cabinet should also be positioned to allow adequate clearance for food handling and packaging personnel.

The cabinet must be installed level from front to back and side to side for proper operation. In order to maintain standards established by the National Sanitation Foundation, all counter mounted equipment must be sealed to the counter with a NSF listed sealant. If equipment legs or casters have been ordered, these items must be installed on the holding cabinet before use. The cabinet should not be installed in any area where it may be affected by steam, grease, dripping water, high temperatures or any other severely adverse conditions.

The holding cabinet can be stacked with an identical holding cabinet or a matching rotisserie oven in either the top or bottom position. Complete stacking instructions are located in this manual.

If necessary, a proper receptacle or outlet configuration must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable, local electrical codes.

Plug the cabinet into a properly grounded receptacle ONLY. The holding cabinet must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes. An equipotential bonding conductor must be connected to the following symbol:

The cabinet must be positioned to allow easy access to the power supply cord in the event of an emergency.

After wiring and power connection has been completed, turn the main power switch to the “ON” position. The main power switch can be left

“ON” for daily use, but should be turned “OFF” when cleaning or performing

maintenance or repairs to the oven.

INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES.

To avoid electrical shock, this appliance MUST be adequately grounded in accordance with local electrical codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current edition of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. In Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 or local codes.

HEATING CHARACTERISTICS

The cabinet is equipped with a special, low heat density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat

concept, the heating cable is mounted against the walls of the warming compartment to provide an evenly applied heat source controlled by a thermostat. The design and operational characteristics of the cabinet eliminate the need for a moisture pan or a heat circulating fan. Through even heat application, the quality of a food product is maintained up to as much as several hours.

1. The unit should be installed level, and should

NOT be installed in any area where it may be

affected by steam, grease, dripping water,

high temperatures or any other severely

adverse conditions.

2. Before operating the cabinet, clean both the

interior and exterior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap solution. Rinse carefully.

3. Clean and install the cabinet side racks. Shelves

should be positioned with the curved end up and toward the back of the unit.

INSTALLATION

STACKING

The holding cabinet can be stacked with an identical holding cabinet or a matching rotisserie oven in either the top or bottom position.

NOTE: The AR-7VH Ventless Hood

cannot be installed when a rotisserie is positioned at the bottom of the stacking combination.

Only screws, lock washers, and hex nuts are required to fasten units together when stacking a rotisserie on top of a matching holding cabinet, or a holding cabinet on top of a holding cabinet. Additional stacking hardware is required for all other combinations (SEE BELOW).

All fastening holes have been prepunched. If the rotisserie oven is positioned at the bottom of a stacked configuration, make certain the oven is on a non combustible surface. The stacking combination also requires the minimum clearance of 6-inches (152mm) at the back and both sides.

1. Remove the two side access panels of

both units.

2. Carefully lift and place the top unit in

position aligning the prepunched holes.

3. Insert the pan head slot screw into

each of the four holes.

4. Thread the lock washer and hex nut on

the screw protruding into the bottom unit.

5. Securely tighten all four screws with

a screwdriver.

6. Replace the side panels on both units.

Heat Indicator Light

1. Preheat at 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes.

When the ON/OFF Switch is turned to the ON position and the thermostat is turned clockwise, the indicator light will illuminate and will remain lit as long as the unit is calling for heat. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of preheating before loading the holding cabinet with food. The indicator light will go OUT after approximately 30 minutes, or when the air temperature inside the unit reaches the temperature set by the operator.

2. Load the cabinet with hot food only.

The purpose of the holding cabinet is to maintain hot food at proper serving temperatures. Only hot food should be placed into the cabinet. Before loading the unit with food, use a food thermometer to make certain all food products are at an internal temperature range of 140° to 160°F (60° to 71°C). All food not within the proper temperature range should be heated before loading into the holding cabinet.

3. Reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).

Check to make certain the cabinet door is securely closed, and reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).

THIS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE FINAL SETTING.

The proper temperature range for the food being held 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 to assure maintenance of the proper temperature range.

THERMOSTAT AND HEAT LIGHT SEQUENCE

Whenever the thermostat is turned ON the heat indicator light will indicate the power ON/OFF condition of the heating cable, and consequently, the cycling of the cabinet as it maintains the dialed cavity temperature. If the light does not illuminate after normal start-up, the main power source, thermostat, and/or light must be checked. If the warming cabinet does not hold the temperature as dialed, the calibration of the thermostat must be checked. If the warming cabinet fails to heat or heats continuously with the thermostat OFF, the thermostat must be initially checked for proper operation. If these items are checked and found to be in order, a continuity and resistance check of the heating cable should be made. SEE CIRCUIT DIAGRAM.

THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

The thermostat is precision calibrated at the factory. Normally, no adjustment or recalibration is necessary unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit, changed or abused while in service. A thermostat with a sensing bulb operates on hydraulic pressure, consequently, any bending of the bulb results in a change in its volume, and alters the accuracy of the thermostat calibration.

A thermostat should be checked or recalibrated by placing a quality, thermal indicator at the center of an empty holding cavity. DO NOT CALIBRATE

WITH ANY FOOD PRODUCT IN THE CABINET. The thermostat should be set at 160°F

(71°C), and should be allowed to stabilize at that setting for a minimum of one hour. Following temperature stabilization, the center of the thermal swing of the air temperature within the cabinet should approximately coincide with the thermostat dial setting.

If calibration is necessary, the calibration screw should be adjusted with great care. The calibration screw of the thermostat is located in the thermostat dial shaft. With the shaft held stationary, a minute, clockwise motion of the calibration screw appreciably lowers the thermostat setting. A reverse, or counter-clockwise motion appreciably raises the thermostat setting. After achieving the desired cycling of the thermostat, the calibration screw must be sealed. Place a few drops of enamel sealant directly on the calibration screw.

(Red nail polish or equivalent is acceptable.)
