INSTALLATION and STARTUP

WARNING:

Risk of personal injury

Installation procedures must be
performed by a qualified technician
with full knowledge of all applicable
electrical codes. Failure could
result in personal injury and prop­erty damage.

IMPORTANT:

Power cord is 10' long

If necessary, contact a licensed
electrician to install an appropriate
electrical circuit with correct NEMA
receptacle.

DO NOT use an extension cord.

CAUTION:

Electrical Shock Hazard

T

he ground prong of the power
cord is part of a system designed to
protect you from electric shock in
the event of internal damage.

DO NOT cut off the large round
ground prong or twist a blade to fit
an existing receptacle.

IMPORTANT:
Not under warranty

Damage to unit due to being
connected to the wrong voltage or
phase is NOT covered by warranty.

WARNING:

Risk of personal injury

Unit is not waterproof, to avoid
electrical shock, keep unit and
counter from being submerged in
water. Do not operate if unit has
been in contact with water.

LOCATION

For proper operation and maximum performance, locate the
unit in an ambient air temperature of 70ºF (21ºC).

Avoid placement in areas near exhaust fans or where there
are active air movements.

For safe operation and maximum performance, locate the
unit at least 2” from any wall or combustible material.

Unit must be on a solid level surface.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug which must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of elec­tric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING—Improper use of the grounding can result in
a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or

service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

START-UP

1. Prior to use, thoroughly clean
the interior of the unit, per the
instructions in this manual.

2. Plug the power cord of the
cabinet into a grounded outlet
with a electrical service ac­cording to the electrical infor­mation provided at right.

3. Set POWER switch to the
“ON” position.

4. Do not load product into the
cabinet. Allow the heat to
remove any residual oils
which may adhere to inside metal surfaces. A slight
emission of smoke is common during the first few hours
of operation.

NORMAL OPERATION

CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE

Inner surfaces of the unit
will be very hot during and
after operation.

Avoid touching the cabinet
when loading or removing
product.

Operating ranges:

- air temp: 90ºF-200ºF

1. Turn the cabinet on using the power switch located on the far left
side of the control panel. Once the switch is turned on, power indi­cating light will illuminate.

2. To adjust the temperature setting, rotate the HEAT dial to the
desired set point*.

It will take approximately
your setting.

Once cabinet reaches temperature setting, power indicating light will
go on and off as element cycles to maintain cabinet temperature
setting.

3. Load cabinet with pans or trays.

4. When removing items, start at the bottom and work up to the
top. This keeps food hotter and eliminates spillage onto lower
items.

*For food safety reasons, it is recommended that the holding
temperature be set at 140°F or higher.

DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES

CAUTION:

ELECTRIC SHOCK
HAZARD

Disconnect appliance from
electric power before cleaning.

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

Exposed surfaces can
be hot to the touch and may
cause burns. Allow appliance
to cool before cleaning.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT spill or pour

water into controls,
control panel or wiring.
Water damage is not covered
by warranty.

CAUTION

Beware of sharp
edges with sheet

metal during cleaning process.

:

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

2. Unplug the unit prior to any cleaning.

3. Remove the side heat duct and rack assemblies. Clean the
inside of the unit as well as the removed parts. Reinstall when
all parts are dry and clean.

4. A solution of two tablespoons of baking soda per quart of
warm water is sufficient for most cleaning jobs. Mild soap or
detergent may be used on heavily soiled interiors—follow
manufacturer’s directions.

5. Inspect and clean the areas where there are vents or filters,
making sure no water gets into the internal controls or
electrical areas of the cabinet.

6. Plastic control panel should be washed with a clean damp
cloth and chlorine-free detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean
damp cloth and allow to dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
waxes, car polish, or substances containing strong aromatic
solvents or alcohol.

7. If cabinet has a clear glass door, clean with window cleaner,
taking care not to get any of the solution on the aluminum
cabinet walls. Stubborn deposits may be cleaned with a mild
soap and water and then rinsed with clean water. Use a soft,
non-abrasive cloth to avoid scratching the door.

CAUTION:

Do not use strong detergents, alkalis, ammonia solutions or

abrasive cleaners. Use only cleaning agents approved for alu­minum and only in the recommended manufacturer’s concentration. Do
not use steel wool pads—ferrous deposits will cause rusting.

Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for aluminum may
cause permanent damage to the cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMA-

NENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

DO NOT perform

these procedures
while the cabinet is turned on
or heated. Turn off the power
and wait for the cabinet to cool
to room temperature.

CAUTION:

Do not move cabinet

unless door is se­curely closed. Serious dam­age to hinges and door may
result if bumped into tables,
walls, or other equipment when
the doors are open.

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.

REPLACING THE DOOR GASKET

1. Remove the screws located under the gasket on the cabinet.

2. Remove the gasket and discard.

3. Install the new gasket and replace the screws.

REVERSING THE DOOR

Reversing the door takes about 30 minutes & requires two people.

1. Using a small screwdriver, pry off the hinge covers and set
aside. Removing the covers will allow access to the inside
hinge screws. Remove the three screws that hold each hinge
to the cabinet. DO NOT REMOVE THE SCREWS THAT
HOLD THE HINGES TO THE DOOR. Remove the door, tak­ing care not to let it fall.

2. Remove the door strike plate and screws adjacent to the door
opening on the cabinet. Reinstall door strike plate and screws
on opposite side of the cabinet.

3. Screw hinges onto opposite side of the door.

4. With the help of another person, hold door up to the cabinet
and attach with the screws removed in step one. Before tight­ening the screws, be sure the door is flush, level and square.
Replace the hinge covers.
