Cleaning

Procedures

WARNING damage to the electrical components will result.

1. After all food products and containers have been removed from the cabinet, turn the power switch to "OFF" and allow the
cabinet to reach room temperature.

2. If applicable, vinyl trim or laminate 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°F may result in "bubbling" or
loosening of vinyl adhesive.

3. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, detergents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be "chloride­free" and "phosphate-free," and cleansers, degreasers, or sanitizers only in the 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.

CAUTION

The Carter-Hoffmann Quick Serve™ Heated Server is designed to rethermalize
and hold prepackaged food from 40°F to 150°F in VA to 2 hours and retain an
elevated temperature for 30 minutes with top lids open or removed during
serving
Due to various conditions such as extremely low cafeteria room temperatures,
concentration and placement of food, and high frequency of lid opening, the
retherm period may be extended.

1. Open top lids and place one layer of 2" baskets inverted (upside down) on
the bottom to obtain optimum air flow during rethermalization. Close lids for
preheat.

2. To access controls, remove shorter bottom louvered panel by twisting
screws 1/4 turn, and pivoting up panel. The reverse is followed for
reinstallation of panel.

3. Set temperature knob at "5" and turn "ON" unit. Replace louvered panel and
let unit preheat for 20 minutes.

4. After preheat, open lids and stack loaded baskets of prepackaged food in a
single layer on inverted empty baskets. Close lids.

5. Allow approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours to retherm chilled contents to a serving
temperature of 150°F.

6. Remove or open lids just prior to serving.

Maintenance

WARNING
Never move cart unless all
doors are securely closed,
serious damage to hinges
and doors may result if
bumped into tables, walls,
or other equipment when
doors are open.

1. Casters...Caster bearings are equipped with Zerk grease fittings so that they may
be easily lubricated with a grease gun. Lubricate bearings at least once every six
months. Lubrication will be required more frequently if carts are cleaned with hot
water or steam cleaning system. (Casters with special Delrin™ bearings are
recommended for frequent cart wash with steam cleaning systems or high pressure
hose.)

2. Latches...Check frequently to insure that all door latches are secure. Latches may
become "sticky" due to residue buildup from daily use and cleaning procedures.
Lubricate latches once every six (6) months or when needed with WD40, silicone
spray, graphite or other commercial lubricant for stainless steel products. Do not
use oil.

3. Doors...Never tip carts forward on open doors to drain water during or after
washing. This can cause serious damage to hinges, doors, and latches.

Calibrations

forFSHM54, FSH50, and FSH63

A] THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION_____________

If additional heat range is required in the heating unit , unplug unit, remove
thermostat knob, insert small straight blade screwdriver into opening and turn limit
control set screw counterclockwise (not clockwise) one full turn. Replace
thermostat knob and turn clockwise to reach new maximum temperature. Repeat
this until desired temperature is reached. Each 1/4 turn of the calibration set screw
will raise the element heating capacity by approximately 25T -35T.

If a reduction of heat is desired, turn limit control set screw clockwise one full turn.
Hold the door open allowing unit to cool until inside temperature is below the
temperature desired. Close the door and allow unit to rise to new maximum
temperature. Repeat this until desired temperature is reached.

B] THERMOMETER CALIBRATION___________

Place an oven thermometer in the center of the cabinet. Turn heater on; turn
thermostat to maximum setting and wait approximately 45 minutes. Open the door
and check inside thermometer temperature. If recalibration is required, pry the
plastic cover off the dial body and with a small flat blade screwdriver insert into the
pointer as shown. Carefully turn the pointer with your finger to the correct setting.
Be careful not to bend the pointer, it is very fragile.
