CLEANING

Keep your cabinet clean by simply wiping the inter ior 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

When ready for operation, and the cabinet has been plugged
into an outlet, an ON-OFF rocker switch activates power to the
cabinet.Your Proofer/Heater 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 mode (holding or proofing) you have
chosen.The control knob marked PROOF is an infinite control
(1-7 settings) which regulates the amount of warmed moisture
in the cabinet. A white light indicates that this proofing function
is activated.The control knob marked HEAT goes from 90°F to
190°F, and controls the amount of heat in the cabinet, when in
use as a holding unit only (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 dr y 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.
