GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING THE CABINET BEFORE LOADING FOOD

1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
POWER RECEPTACLE.

2) SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. For most

foods, a holding temperature of 150° - 160°F should
be adequate.The cycling light indicates the heating
element is on.

3) PRE-HEAT CABINET FOR 20-30 MINUTES.

When the cycling light goes off, the unit has reached
the temperature which you selected. However, for
best results, allow cabinet to fully pre-heat for
20-30 minutes. Load with your HOT foods.
Plates may be heated in the cabinet before dish up,
but this will require extra pre-heating time.

AVOID PUTTING YOUR HOT FOODS
INTO A COLD CABINET!

By pre-heating the unit 20-30 minutes before each use,
you can be assured of maintaining the temperature
and obtaining the best results from your cabinet.

4) LOAD THE CABINET.During the loading
procedure, keep the doors closed as much as
possible.After loading is completed, do not open
doors again until you are ready to serve.
