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 legs or casters are not bent.

6.Also open the compressor compartment housing and visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure lines are secure and base is still intact.

7.Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms upon request.

8.Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.

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 and lift the unit off the skid. If the unit is on casters it can be "rolled" off the skid.

F14 Series Service and Installation Manual

Operation: F14EI Series (Electric)

Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the temperature knob to “HI” and heat the well for 20 to 30 minutes. Any residue or dust that adhered to the heater element(s) will be burned off during this initial preheat period.

When using thick sauces, always operate the hot food well filled with water. This will provide a more uniform temperature for the sauce.

Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type of protective covering on your hands and arms when removing lids or pans from the unit. Lift the lid or pan in a way that will direct escaping steam away from your face and body.

Never place food directly into the well. Always use pans.

Although these models may be operated either with or without water in the wells, wet operation is recommended.

Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.

For most efficient operation when empty, keep covered insets in each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.

Do not put food down drain.

Wet operation

1)Fill food well with 2” (50mm) of water. For quicker pre-heating, use hot water to fill the well.

2)Turn the control to “HIGH” and pre-heat the warmer

for 30 minutes.

3)After pre-heating, set the control to your desired serving temperature.

Dry operation

1)Pre-heat the well on “HIGH” for approximately 15 minutes.

2) After pre-heating, set the control to your desired serving temperature.

Only 6” (15.2cm) deep insets should be used with a dry food well. When operated dry, the bottom of the food well will discolor. A mild abrasive cleaner is recommended to clean this discoloration.

Temperature

Water in wells . . . . . . . . 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C) Product in pans . . . . . . . .140°F to 160°F (60°C to 71°C)

Operation: F14EW Series (Electric)

These units must be operated with 4” (102mm) minimum water in the well. If operated dry, a low water safety switch will interrupt the electric supply to the heater to prevent heater failure. If the low water safety switch shuts off power, turn the control to the OFF position. If the water level is below the heating element, allow the well to cool completely, then refill with water. Reactivate the well by turning the control ON and resetting to the previous temperature.

Continuous interruption of power due to a low water level may disable the heater permanently. Pouring water on a hot heating element will damage it.

Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type of protective covering on your hands and arms when removing lids or pans from the unit. Lift the lid or pan in a way that will direct escaping steam away from your face and body.

Never place food directly into the well. Always use pans.

Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.

For most efficient operation, when empty, keep covered insets in each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.

Wet operation

1) Fill food well with 4” (102mm) of water (heater must be covered by water). For quicker pre-heating, use hot water to fill the well.

2) Set the control to your desired serving temperature.
