[A] 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.
[B] THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
If additional heat range is required in the heating unit, unplug unit, remove black
thermostat knob, insert small straight blade screwdriver into opening and turn limit
control set screw counter 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 25-35T.
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.

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] LATCH ES
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.
[C] PERIMETER BUMPERS
If applicable, vinyl which has been dislodged from the channel due to
severe bumping or scraping can be pried back into place with a common
screwdriver.
