SECTION 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HT Series Heated Trolleys are mobile units intended for transferring cooked food from kitchen area to remote
serving area, and comes in two and three compartment variants.

Each trolley has a single open heated chamber containing segregated rack compartments. Custom- made
racks suitable for use with 1/1 gastronorm containers are included. Ten rack runner positions are provided,
each positioned 65mm apart allowing containers with lids to be inserted.

Heating elements are fitted below chamber floor. The trolley is not suitable for cooking food.

SECTION 2 - CONTROLS and OPERATION

A dummy socket has been provided in trolley side panel for retaining plug and associated cable safely above
ground, away from castors when unit is not connected to mains power supply.

The unit has no ON/OFF switch. Elements/controls will be energised whenever unit is connected to mains power.
Controller has been pre-programmed at factory for a thermostat setting of 85°C.
When switching power ON to appliance, controller display will run through an initialisation process lasting a few

seconds before settling into its operating mode. Under normal operation, ambient chamber temperature will be
displayed.

Once fully pre-heated, chamber temperature will cycle around 85°C as elements are switched ON/OFF to
maintain set temperature. Empty chamber cycle normally remains within 10° of this setting.

Note: The Power ON neon will illuminate when connected to mains power. However,
controller display indicating other than chamber temperature and/or Power ON neon going OFF
for longer periods in combination with wide temperature swings when empty would signify an
appliance fault. If this happens, contact your Service Agent to have the fault rectified.

SECTION 3 ­FOOD STORAGE and TRANSPORT

The HT heated trolleys are mobile units intended to transport hot, cooked food from kitchen to serving area.
Pre-heat trolley before loading with cooked food.

Store, load and unload unit on a level floor in a well lit area.
During use, keep appliance plugged into mains power supply unless in transit between kitchen and serving

area. This will allow cabinet temperature to be monitored and boost heat provided if temperature drops below
85°C. Any heat-loss can only be recovered if unit is connected to mains power.

Hot food will add to heat generated by elements during pre-heat, and hence chamber temperature may be higher
than thermostat setting.

To avoid losing heat, NEVER leave doors open for longer than is necessary during loading.
THE TROLLEY IS HEAVY.
Take care when maneuvering unit.
