OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. DO NOT ADD WATER TO DISPLAY CASE

Halo Heat display cases maintain a constant but gentle temperature and eliminate much of the moisture loss associated with conventional display cases. Because of this gentle heat, it is not necessary to add water to the display case. As a matter of fact, adding water is not recommended since water will accelerate the deterioration of the product, and may damage the unit voiding the warranty.

2. PLACE DIVIDERS AND SERVING PANS IN CASE

Refer to the pan layout diagrams for different types of pan accommodations. A complete pan configuration layout is located in this manual. It

is VERY

important to note,

no matter what type of pan configuration chosen, pan separator bars or divider bars must be used to close all gaps between pans, and all gaps between the pans and the edges of the display case. If these gaps are not closed, heat will escape from the bottom of the case into the display area. As a consequence, heat distribution will be uneven and uniform temperature will be difficult to hold. If needed, additional pan divider bars are available. The supplied self-serve pan inserts with wire grids are for use with pre-packaged foods in the self-serve sections of the units.

3. TURN DISPLAY LIGHTS “ON” AND SET THE THERMOSTAT(S) AT NUMBER “10” TO PREHEAT

A indicator light will illuminate when the thermostat(s) is (are) turned “ON.” The indicator(s) will remain lit as long as the unit is preheating or calling for heat. The unit should be preheated at the 10 setting for a minimum of 30-45 minutes before loading the case with hot food. When preheating is completed, or whenever the unit reaches any temperature set by the operator between

1 and 10, the indicator light(s)

will go “

OUT”.

4. LOAD HOT FOODS INTO DISPLAY CASE

Be certain only hot food is transferred into the display case. Before loading food into the case, use a pocket-type meat thermometer to make certain all products have reached an internal temperature of 140° to 160° F (60° to 71°C). If any food product is not at proper serving temperature, use a Halo Heat cooking and holding oven, set at 250° to 275°F (121° to 135°C), or a Combitherm oven to bring the product within the correct temperature range.

 Use hand protection when handling hot items.  Be certain only hot PREPACKAGED foods in

appropriate heat tested containers are used in the self-service section of the display case.

 Do not stack food containers.

5. RESET THERMOSTAT(S) AS NEEDED

After all products are loaded into the display case and the doors are closed, it is necessary to reset the thermostat(s). For fully enclosed sections, reset the thermostat to the number “8” setting. Cases with a self-service section should be maintained between number “9” and number “10” for the selfservice section only. THESE SETTINGS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE FINAL. Since proper temperature range depends on the type of products and the quantities being held, it is necessary to periodically use a pocket thermometer to check each item to make certain the correct temperatures are being maintained. Proper temperature range is between a minimum of 140° and 160° F (60° and 71° C). Normally, this will require a thermostat setting of between number “6” and “8” in fully enclosed cases. Selfservice cases or sections will always require a higher thermostat setting.

6. PLACEMENT OF FOOD PROBE

If the unit is equipped with the probe accessory, wipe each probe and probe tip with a disposable alcohol pad to clean and sanitize before using. If the probe is left in its bracket, the LED temperature display will indicate the ambient air temperature inside the case. To place a probe into food kept in the case, remove the probe from the bracket and push the probe tip halfway into the product, positioning the tip at the center of the food mass. If placing into solid foods such as meat roast or poultry breasts, push the probe in from a straight downward position or in from the side to the center position. If placing into a semiliquid or liquid product, the probe cable will probably need to be secured to keep the probe positioned properly. Do not let the probe tip touch the edges or sides. Tape the probe cable to the lip or edge of the container. Wipe each probe tip with a clean paper towel to remove food debris after each use. Follow by wiping probes with a disposable alcohol pad, and return each probe to the proper bracket position.

7. SERVE FRESH HOT FOOD

Keep hot foods looking fresh. Occasionally stir or rotate food as needed. Serve food products in appropriate heat tested packages or containers. Keep display case doors closed after serving. Wipe spills immediately to assure maximum eye appeal and to ease end of the day cleanup.

OPERATION

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.

When product is removed from a high temperature cooking environment for immediate transfer into equipment with the lower temperature required for hot food holding, condensation can form on the outside of the product and on the inside of plastic containers used in self-service applications. Allowing the product to release the initial steam and heat produced by high temperature cooking can alleviate this condition. To preserve the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods however, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the only time period allowed for the initial heat to be released from 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.

If the unit is equipped with a thermostat indicating a range of between 1 and 10, use a metal-stemmed indicating thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the product(s) being held. Adjust the thermostat setting to achieve the best overall setting based on internal product temperature.
