UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
INSTALLATION AND STARTUP
NOTE: DO NOT discard the
carton or other packing materials until you have inspected
the appliance for hidden damage and checked it for proper
operation.
Refer to SHIPPING DAMAGE CLAIM PROCEDURE on
the next page.
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 20 or 30 amp electrical circuit with correct NEMA receptacle. DO NOT use an extension
cord.
CAUTION: Electrical
Shock Hazard
The 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.
1. Remove the cabinet from shipping carton, ensuring that all
packing materials and protective plastic has been removed
from the unit.
2. Inspect all components for completeness and condition.
3. If any freight damage is present, a freight claim must be filed
immediately with the shipping company.
4. Freight damage is not covered under warranty.
5. Check to insure all components are included: cabinet, instruction packet and additional accessories.
6. Read operation instructions completely.
7. Remove each self-leveling dispenser unit out of the cabinet.
Remove corrugated packing materials from the cabinet.
8. Wipe all surfaces of the cabinet and self-leveling dispensers
with a clean damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.
9. All models are equipped with self-leveling mechanisms that
are removable through the top of the unit so that adjustments
can be made to the tension springs. By adding or removing
springs, proper dispensing can be attained. See page 5 for
instructions on how to adjust the spring tension.
10. Verify that you have the proper electrical supply and plug into
properly grounded electrical supply according to the electrical
specifications on the serial tag located on the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: Not under warranty
Damage to unit due to being connected to the wrong voltage
or phase is NOT covered by warranty.
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.
WARNING:
Risk of personal injury
Unit is not waterproof, to avoid
electrical shock, keep unit from
being submerged in water. Do
not operate if unit has been in
contact with water.
WARNING:
Risk of personal injury
Portions of the unit remain energized, even if the power switch is
in the OFF position. Unplug unit
for service or cleaning.

sides when loading the dispenser
Holding plates/bases by the
bottom can allow fingers to
become trapped between the
plates and dispenser wall
BH2S, BH3S, PH2S, PH3S Models:
These cabinets are adjustable to hold plates or bases. BH models
leave the factory configured for Base Holding and PH models
leave the factory configured for Plate Holding. Otherwise, they are
the same. If you wish to change from Plate to Base holding or vice
versa, refer to page 5 to adjust the spring tension in the tubes prior
to loading
1) Plug unit into electrical outlet.
2) Place bases/plates into the dispensers, as needed, or until
they are filled to the top. Make sure the load is leveled on the
shelf or it could bind.
3) Place the lids on the top of the unit.
4) If you are heating plates, flip the swit ch to the right for plate
heating. If you are heating bases, flip the switch to left the for
base heating.
5) Heat up time for bases and plates varies, depending on the
number and style of each. Minimum heat up time for a full unit
is one hour.
6) After heating, remove lid(s) and han g on storage hooks, located at each end of the cabinet.
7) Carefully dispense plates/bases.

DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURES
CAUTION: Beware
of sharp edges with
sheet metal during
cleaning process.
CAUTION: Do not
use steel wool pads
as they will result in
rusting from the ferrous metal
in the pads.
CAUTION: Be sure
the power switch(es)
are turned OFF and
the cabinet is unplugged from
the power source prior to
cleaning. The heating element
and electrical components
must not be exposed to direct
contact with water or other
cleaning sprays. Permanent
damage to the electrical components will result.
1. Turn cabinet OFF, unplug cabinet from outlet and allow to cool
completely.
2. Pull the dispenser tubes up and out, place them on a work
surface. Wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
3. Place the dispensers back into the cabinet and clean the cabinet exterior with a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent in a
warm water solution. A commercial stainless steel cleaner
may also be used.
4. To clean stainless steel surfaces, use only cleansers, detergents, degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to the chloride-free and phosphate-free, and only in recommended concentrations or mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse
all exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clear
water. Wipe off any standing liquid or residue from all horizontal surfaces in corners, or near edges.
CAUTION: Cleansers, detergents, degreasers, sanitizers, or bleaching agents that contain chlorides 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.
Use of cleaning agents that are not recommended for stainless steel ma y cause permanent damage to the
cabinet. THIS DAMAGE IS PERMANENT, COSTLY TO REPAIR AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE WAR-
RANTY.
RECOMMENDED TIPS FOR CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL

ADJUSTMENTS FOR PLATES OR WAX BASES
CAUTION:
Unplug cabinet and
allow to cool completely before adjusting spring
tension.
The tension on the self-leveling carriage is adjustable for wax bases or plates, by connecting or disconnecting the tension springs.
As you are loading plates/bases, observe the plate level. The top
of the stack should be maintained at a comfortable height. If the
level is too high or too low, springs will have to be added or removed to attain the desired height. To ensure smooth operation,
use a similar number of springs on all four sides of the tube. This
is done by connecting or disconnecting the springs from the bottom retainer bracket. You will then have to set the switch(es) for
plates or bases.
TO ADJUST SPRINGS
1) Remove the dispenser assembly from the cabinet. Stand the assembly upright and secure it to
prevent tipping.
2) If you intend to hold bases, then make sure all 9 springs are attached as shown in Fig. 1.
3) If you intend to hold plates, detach 3 springs from the bottom bracket as shown in Fig. 2. and
allow them to dangle. They will remain out of the way, but available for later adjustments, if
needed.
4) Place 10 plates or 6 bases, depending on your spring settings onto the platform. The top base
or plate should be positioned at the top of the dispenser unit.
NOTE: Due to the varying weights and dimensions of bases and dinnerware, further sprin g
adjustments may be needed to achieve proper height and function.
5) Once the proper adjustment has been achieved, remove the plates/bases and place the self-
leveling tube back into the cart.
