Installation

Contact the manufacturer of your rack for information. The dolly and baskets
for the RTB282 are manufactured by Carter-Hoffmann and sold separate from

for uniform temperatures throughout.

This equipment manual will provide the operator with basic information to

equipment can be drawn by the cooling fans into the control compart-

ment of the heater. These deposits should be avoided in order to assure
top performance and longer life.

NOTE: During the manufacturing
process, the cabinet may have accumulat­ed dust and oils. Clean cabinet thorough­ly. Prior to loading food, run at least one
operation cycle (at least one hour) with
the cabinet empty to rid the cabinet of
this debris.

Turn off power, unplug cabinet and allow to cool before cleaning.
The cabinet heater should not be exposed to direct contact with water or

cleaning sprays. Permanent damage to the electrical components will result.

Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that
contain clorides or phosphates will cause permanent damage to stainless
steel products. The damage appears as pits, eruptions, voids, small holes,
cracks, severe discoloration, or dulling of the metal finish. Water with high

chloride content can also damage stainless steel. If unsure of your water
quality, we recommend you have it tested. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT,
COSTLY TO REPAIR, AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

1. After all food products and containers have been removed from the
cabinet, turn the power switch to “OFF” and allow the cabinet to cool.

2. The heat ducts can be removed without tools for cleaning. Simply
lift up and pull out. They may be hand washed or run through
an automatic washer.

3. If applicable, vinyl trim or plastic control panels should be washed with
a chlorine-free detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water
and allow to dry. Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish, or
substances containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Caution:
When using solvents, it is essential that proper precautionary measures
be observed. Refer to solvent manufacturer’s instructions. Use of direct

steam/hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190

o

F may result in

“bubbling” or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

4. To clean stainless steel surfaces, use only cleansers, detergents,
degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be “chloride-free” and
“phosphate-free.” Use these products only in recommended
concentrations. DO NOT exceed recommended concentrations or mixing
ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all exposed surfaces thoroughly
with large amounts of clean, clear water. Wipe off any standing liquid or
residue from all surfaces, corners, or near edges.
