Cabinet Operations

NOTE:

1.

Before using, familiarize y

ourself with the cabinet controls.

This unit is designed for HOLDING hot
foods. To insure best results, be sure
your food, containers, and covers are at
or above the desired holding
temperature and the cabinet is

completely pre-heated.

2. Plug the cabinet into a proven power source.

3. Turn the thermostat to number 4 or 5 on the knob. Be sure the cabinet
door(s) are fully closed during the pre-heat time.

4. Food serving temperature will vary with the mass, type and quantities
of food served. Set the thermostat for the desired holding setting. Turn
clockwise to increase the temperature and counter clockwise to
decrease the temperature.

5. During loading, the cabinet temperature will drop. Try not to move the
cart right away; wait 10-15 minutes until the cabinet recovers air
temperature.

6. Move the cart to the service area as quickly as possible.

7. Upon reaching the serving area, plug in the cabinet as quickly as
possible. Wait 5-10 minutes (check the thermometer to see if the
temperature is at the desired level). If not, adjust the thermostat as
required.

8. When removing items, start at the bottom and work to the top position.
This keeps food hotter and eliminates spillage on lower items.

Calibrations

[A] THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

No thermostat calibration is required. Thermostat is preset at the

factory and is uncalibrateable.

[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.

Maintenance

Instructions

Replacement

Tarts

Contact factory with your
model and serial number for
replacement cabinet
components.

[A] CASTERS

Some casters are equipped with Zerk grease fitting so that they may be
easily lubricated with a grease gun. Recommended lubrication is at least
once every six months. Lubrication will be required more frequently if carts
are cleaned with a hot water or steam cleaning system. Casters with
special bearings are recommended for frequent cart wash or steam
cleaning situations.

[B] LATCHES

Check frequently to insure that all door latches are secure. Latches may
become "sticky" due to residue buildup from daily use and cleaning.
Lubricate latches regularly with WD-40, silicone spray, graphite or other
commercial lubricants for stainless steel products. Do not use oil.
