INSTALLATION AND CARE

CLEANING

Keep your cabinet clean by simply wiping the interior and
exterior, as needed, with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild
soapy solution. NEVER USE ABRASIVES, ACIDS, OR
STRONG CLEANERS. Do not flood or allow electrical par ts
to become wet. The interior tray slide assemblies and humidifier
pans are removable for easy cleaning. A stainless steel
cleaner/polish is recommended for the exterior to maintain a
"like-new" appearance. DO NOT USE WAX OR STRONG

CLEANERS ON DOOR GASKETS OR VINYL TRIM.
WARNING: THE WATER PAN, AIR TUNNEL AND HEATING

ELEMENT(S) ARE HOT WHEN IN USE AND COULD CAUSE
INJURY. NEVER TOUCH, OR ATTEMPT TO LIFT HEATING
ELEMENTS BY HAND! A THUMB LEVER IS PROVIDED TO
POSITION YOUR HINGED ELEMENTS AND FAN GRILL.

CONTROLS

A rectangular, red indicator light tells you when your cabinet
is plugged into a power source. When ready for operation,
an ON-OFF rocker switch activates power to the cabinet.Your
MOISTURE-TEMP is equipped with two (2) heating elements
and two (2) separate controls which regulate these elements.
This allows you to set the exact temperature and humidity
needed for the product you are holding.The air moisture knob
is an infinite control (1-10 settings) which regulates the amount
of humidity in the cabinet. A white light indicates that this
function is activated.The air temperature control goes from
90°F to 190°F, and controls the amount of heat in the cabinet.
(If water is added to water pan during this mode, some humidity
will be added to the cabinet air to keep foods moist.However,
if dry heat is needed, it does not harm the cabinet to be used
without any water in the water pan).An amber light indicates
that the holding function is activated. An operational range
thermometer shows the actual internal temperature of the
cabinet. NOTE: Some units are equipped with an optional
accessory timer, which may be set manually for up to 12 hours.
