Section I - Product Information

These units are designed to heat plates or pellets� All models are equipped with self-leveling mechanisms that are calibrated at the factory� The temperature indicator light will light up once the unit is turned on� The fan motor will begin to circulate the heated air in and around the plates/pellets in a convection process that promotes a quick and even heat absorption by the plates/pellets� Once the air inside the cabinet has reached the desired and preset temperature, the thermostat will continue to maintain this temperature by regulating the power to the heating element� To dispense pellets or plates use the Cambro Plate and Pellet Lifter (MDSPL) to safely lift the pellets and plates from the unit�

The Cambro Pellet Heater accommodates 9" (22,8 cm) diameter pellets�

The Cambro Plate Heater accommodates plates ranging from 9" (22,8 cm) to 10�5" (26,7 cm) diameter�
