by persons qualified or licensed to install electrical
Equipment only. It is the responsibility of the installer to
comply with all local codes.
1. Carefully remove any packing material from the unit
and check loose packing material for small parts or
accessories. Inspect unit for concealed damage before
putting packing material aside.
2. Make sure that the master switch on the front panel of
the unit is in the “0” position. This controls the power
supply.

will glow, indicating that it is ON, and the Equipment will
start to heat.

4. Use only one silo at a time. Keep the other silo covered.
Optional covers may be purchased separately.
THERMOSTAT SETTING
IMPORTANT: Thermostat adjustment not covered under
warranty.
CAUTION: Internal thermostat adjustment must be
performed by a Qualified Electrician.
The thermostat is pre-set at the highest temperature setting for the dispenser. If you find that the bases are too hot
for your application, reduce the temperature by turning
the thermostat knob to a lower setting. Since virtually all
facilities operate differently,the best way to determine
your optimal thermostat setting is to start with the pre-set
temperature, then adjust to determine the setting which
best suits your application.
The heaters in the unitized base are controlled by an
adjustable thermostat located behind the access panel
inside the unit.
1. Make sure that the master switch is in the “0” position
and remove the plug from the receptacle.
2. Remove the four screws on the access panel and remove
the panel.
3. The thermostat is located on the left-hand side, just
below the blower motor.
4. You can now change the thermostat setting while
pulling the knob into the desired adjustment.
5. Replace the panel, connect the unit with the main
outlet, switch on the unit and check the result of the
new setting.
INFO: Once the proper temperature setting is determined,
it is not necessary to reset the thermostat for every meal.
Leave the thermostat at the desired setting and turn the
unit ON and OFF using the master switch.
CAUTION: Prior to cleaning or maintenance work, turn
the master switch to the “0” position and disconnect the
power cord from the receptacle. The unit should be allowed
to cool first.
Dinex Equipment is constructed with high-quality materials and is designed to provide you with durable service
when treated with care. To obtain the best performance
from your Equipment, it should be cleaned daily and properly maintained.
FIELD-ADJUSTABLE BARS
The silo is equipped with adjustable bars, allowing the
adjustment of the plate guide to accommodate different
plate diameters. If you are not satisfied with the pre-set
diameter,you can lift the adjustable bar and place it into
the next perforation in the bottom plate of the silo.
LOADING OF PLATES
WARNING: Overfilling dispenser silos may cause injury
to operator or damage to the dispenser, thus voiding the
warranty.
1. To avoid bruised fingers or hand injuries, make sure the
dispensing level is 2” (5cm) higher than the upper
edge of the housing. (See Adjustment Of Self-Leveling
Silos on page 2)
2. Check to be sure that the plate guide is placed in the
supporting frame with the “feet extenders”side down.
Line up the plate guide with the supporting frame so
that the two nest together.
3. Each silo is designed for use with approx i m a tely 50 plate s ,
depending on plate thickness, material and design.
WARNING: Never drop stacks of plates into the silo
assembly.This can cause damage to the silo components
and void the warranty. Place three to four plates at a time
into the silo.
HEAT-UP TIMES
CAUTION: In spite of the housing insulation, temperatures
at the surface may be high. Never touch the unit without
using thermal protection gloves.
With cold plates (first meal of the day), the plates will reach
the pre-set final temperature after approximately 1-1/2 to
2 hours.
All times indicated are only approximate and may vary
depending on each facility’s operation,location of units
and supply voltage.
DISPENSING OF PLATES
WARNING: Severe burns may occur if instructions are not
followed.
1. Turn the master switch to “0”position and disconnect
electrical plug from the receptacle. Move the dispenser
to the start of the tray make-up line.
2. The operator must wear thermal protection gloves while
dispensing plates. Never touch plates with bare hands.
Never assume that plates are cool enough to be
handled with bare hands.
3. If a plate becomes jammed in the silo, do not reach into
the silo to free it — use a long stick instead.
