1.2 Product Trays

There are 3 product tray sizes. See Appendices A and C for specific product volumes and
recommended holding sizes and times. Use the tray that is designed for the specific product
described below:

A. 1/3-size plastic tray – Holds meat and egg products that are grilled (hamburger patties,

bacon, eggs, sausage, etc.) There are two important procedures to remember when storing
grilled products:

• The product should not be drained when picked up from the grill.

• The product is stacked when placed in the proper tray. 10-1 and sausage patties can be

stacked up to six high. Eggs (except scrambled), grilled chicken and 4-1 patties can be
stacked up to three high.

B. 1/2-size wire tray – holds fried products (McNuggets, McChicken, Filet-O-Fish, etc.)

Remember this important procedure when storing fried products:

• Fried products are to be placed on the wire rack. The rack should be placed on a crumb

tray. No tray liners are required for these trays.

C. Full-size plastic tray – holds baked products (biscuits, muffins, etc.) Follow these

procedures for baked products:

• After the biscuits have been removed from the biscuit oven, remove the wrapper and

open the cardboard box.

• Put a tray liner in the tray and slide the biscuits onto the liner. The biscuit trays can hold

up to 30 frozen biscuits, 20 scratch biscuits or 20 muffins.

Important Operational Tips

When placing a tray into the cabinet, make sure the slot line on the tray handle lines up with the edge
of the slot.

Discard cracked or damaged trays.
When removing portions from a tray, slide the tray only as far as needed, then quickly return the tray

to the slot line.

1.3 Install Grill Clip

The grill clip is shipped in the accessory package and is
designed to hold the 1/3-size grill tray. It attaches to the
grill to make transfer from the grill to the UHC faster and
safer.

• Position the front of the grill clip under the lip

of the grill.

• Lower the back of the clip until the grooves rest

over the grill bar. The grill clip should firmly
seat on the front of the grill. If the clip doesn’t
fit snuggly, simply loosen the four nuts under
the clip and slide it in or out as needed to tighten
against the bar. Tighten the nuts after the clip is
properly adjusted.

The grill clip attaches to the grill and holds
grilled product in a UHC-P tray, making
transfer to the holding cabinet easier.

1.4 Installation of 4” Legs

CAUTION
Use caution when handling the cabinet or tilting the unit to/from the floor to install
the legs. Maneuvering the cabinet should be accomplished by at least two people.

A. Carefully place the Universal Holding Cabinet on its right side (direction is determined with

you facing the front of the unit), exposing the base of the cabinet.

B. Mount the leg pads to the bottom of the base using the 16-¼"-20 x ½" long screws and

lockwashers provided.

C. Screw the leg into the mounted leg pad until fully tight.
D. Carefully turn the UHC upright until the unit stands on its legs. Perform Step 2, Power Up.

IF THE UHC-P IS INSTALLED WITH THE COUNTERTOP OPTION, ENSURE THE

AREA WHERE THE UHC-P BASE AND COUNTERTOP MEET IS PROPERLY

SEALED WITH A FOOD GRADE TYPE SEALANT.

3.7 Programming Overview

A Palm Pilot loaded with the UHC-P software is available. All programming of the cabinet,
except initial default settings, is first entered into a Palm Pilot then beamed into the UHC-P.
Below is an annotated look at the main UHC-P screens on a Palm Pilot. The appearance of
the menu bar varies with software versions*. Programming and use are covered in Section 4-

7. Palm software should be loaded onto a computer accessible to the store manager for use in
acquiring and loading UHC-P software. Loading and acquiring software are described in
Chapter 9. See the Palm Pilot manual for a description of its operation.
