Unpacking

Carefully lift unit out of shipping container, and inspect
immediately for shipping damage. Your French Fry
Warmer was shipped in a carton designed to give it
maximum protection. It was thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. File any claims for shipping
damage or irregularities directly with the carrier.

Installation

Distance required between combustible and non­combustible material: 1” rear and 1” sides.

The FFW575-Q and M are supplied with an attached
cord and may be plugged into a standard 120 volt 15
amp/ grounded outlet. This unit has been shipped with
the incandescent lamps installed. Remove the protective
cardboard tube from lamps before turning the warmer
on.

Cleaning

Stainless steel exterior surfaces can be cleaned with a
damp cloth.

Maintenance

Lamp Replacement:

Simply unscrew lamp from socket, discard defective
lamp and screw new lamp into socket.

Heating Element Replacement:

Place warmer on its side. Remove two screws from
access covers at the front and rear of the unit and
remove the covers. Remove flag terminals from heater
ends and remove heater. Push flag terminals on to ends
of new heater, making sure terminals are pushed on
securely, as a loose terminal will cause arcing. Position
the element in unit so that groove in porcelain end cap
is nested in notch of bracket. Hold the element in place
and replace one access cover, making sure that vertical
leg of access cover is between element holder and
reflector, secure with two screws. Install second access
cover in the same manner.

Remove the front access cover. Remove nut securing
switch to the front of the housing and pull the switch
out from inside housing. Disconnect switch wires taking
note of their location. Reconnect wires to new switch
and re-install by reversing removal procedure.
