Receiving And Inspecting The Equipment
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should
be taken during unloading so the equipment is not damaged
while being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or
container. Any damage should be noted and reported to
the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the
carrier.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon
opening, there is concealed damage to the equipment
notify the carrier. Notification should be made verbally
as well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the
damaged equipment. This should be done within 10
days from receipt of the equipment.
5. Check the lower portion of the unit to be sure the casters
6. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been
Uncrating the Equipment
First cut and remove the banding from around the crate.
Remove the front of the crate material, use of some tools will
be required. If the unit is on legs remove the top of the crate
as well and lift the unit off the skid. If the unit is on casters it
can be rolled off the skid.

Dish dispensers are intended for indoor use only. Drop-in
units require a counter cutout of a specific size for proper
fit. Refer to specification data for the proper dimensions.
Heated units must have minimum 1” (2.5cm) air
gap between the bottom of the dispensing tube and
any surface or objects below. Make sure the tube
will have proper clearance when installing it into a
counter or another piece of equipment.
Stabilizing
CAB models are supplied with casters for your convenience, for
ease of cleaning underneath and mobility.
The unit must be installed in a stable condition with
the front wheels locked. Locking the front casters
after installation is the owner’s and operator’s
responsibility.
Electrical Connection
All heated DIS and CAB models are tested at the factory to
assure proper operation.
Refer to the amperage data, the serial tag, your local or the
National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the
proper power source. A protected circuit of the correct voltage
and amperage must run for connection of the line cord.
DIS models plug into a wall receptacle when used as drop-in
models; if they are grouped together in a CAB model, all of the
individual DIS power cords are plugged into the receptacle in the
CAB cabinet. The master power cord on CAB models plugs into
a wall receptacle.
The unit must be disconnected from the power
source whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
Installation: Napkin/Cup Dispensers
Dispensers are intended for indoor use only. Napkin and cup
units require a counter cutout of a specific size for proper fit.
Refer to specification data for the proper dimensions.
Typical example of spring placement.
Note that each of the three sections
has the same number and type of
springs and that the springs are
installed in the same order in each
section.

After adjusting for dispensing height, you are ready to load
your dishes.
Only load a manageable stack of dishes at a time —
approximately 4” (10.2cm) to 5” (12.7cm). Each DIS model
dispensing tube will accommodate a 26” (66cm) stack of plates
or bowls.

stack will bounce up and down), adjust the springs. See “Field
adjustment” instructions.
Temperature adjustment – ET & QT models only
ET (even-temp) models have either a 400 or 700 watt
heating element and an adjustable thermostat. The factory
setting for thermostat is “A” which gives an operating
temperature of about 165°F (74°C) and effective plate
temperatures of between 110°F (43°C) to 120°F (49°C)
after about two to three hours of pre-warming.
QT (quick-temp) models have a 700 watt heating element
and an adjustable thermostat. The factory setting for
thermostat is “E” which gives an operating temperature
of about 205°F (96°C) and effective plate temperatures of
between 130°F (54°C) to 150°F (66°C) after about two to
three hours of pre-warming.

The thermostat is located on the bottom of the unit near
the fan motor. Use the following directions to adjust.
Unplug the unit and allow the unit to cool
completely before handling.
1) Lock brakes on mobile units before beginning.
2) Unload the dispenser. Remove dispensers from the unit
by grasping the black plastic guide posts and lifting the
dispenser completely out of the unit. It is not necessary to
remove the steel jacket from the dispensing tube.
3) Turn the unit on its side.

Lift the dispenser out of the counter or CAB cart by grasping
the black dish guides and lifting straight up and out. Remove
any debris that may be in the assembly with a damp cloth.
Clean the stainless steel by using a soft cloth, soap and warm
water. If this is not sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive liquid cleaner. Rub with the grain of the stainless steel
to avoid marring the finish. When cleaning is completed, insert
the dispenser assembly back into the counter or CAB cart.
The bottom rails on the CAB cart should be cleaned occasionally.
They may be accessed most easily through the bottom of the

Do not use abrasive cleaner because it will scratch
the stainless steel and plastic.
