3-2	7	Heater			Two, open-resistance, wire type heaters that provide
					heat throughout the cabinet; a standard full sized 120
					VAC unit will have 1000 watt heaters; a standard full
					sized 240 VAC unit will	have 1500 watt heaters;
					a standard 120V, HHC-903 unit will have 750 watt
					heaters
3-2	8	High Limit			A safety device mounted next to the heater which
					protects the unit from overheating
3-3	9	Fuse			A protective device that breaks the circuit when
					current exceeds the rated	value; the fuse	provides

3-3. START-UP

Before using the heated holding cabinet, the unit should be thoroughly cleaned as described in the Cleaning Procedures Section of this manual.

1.To put the unit into operation, move the power switch to the ON position. The power light should now be illuminated and the blowers should be in operation.

2.Remove the water pan and put approximately 1” of hot water in the pan. Return the pan to its location.

Step 1

Be sure to push the water pan in as far as it will go so that it does not block air from the thermometer and thermostat capillary tubes. This will ensure proper operation of these components.

3.Set the thermostat at #7 or approximately 180°F (82°C). When the heat light goes out, the unit is ready for operation.

Step 2

The unit should take approximately 25-35 minutes to heat to temperature during start up. Be sure that the temperature light goes out before loading with product.

3-4. OPERATION WITH PRODUCT

3-5. VENT ADJUSTMENT

1.Place the hot product on bun pans and insert between the cabinet racks.

2. Serve the product f rst that has been in the cabinet the longest.

3.In order to maintain a constant temperature, open the doors only as necessary to load and unload product.

As mentioned in the Operating Controls and Component Section, the vent system limits the humidity level of the cabinet. The vent adjustments are very easy to follow.

The vent setting corresponds to the number of trays of product. With one tray of product, set the vent at No. 1. With two trays of product, set the vent at No. 2 and so on.

3-6. CLEANING	1.	Turn all controls to the OFF position.
PROCEDURES
	2.	Disconnect the electrical supply to the cabinet.
		To avoid burns, allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
	3.	Open the doors and remove all trays from the cabinet.
	4.	Take the trays to a sink and clean them thoroughly.
Step 3	5.	Remove the water pan and clean it with a soft cloth, soap,
	and	water.

7.Clean the exterior of the cabinet with a damp cloth.

Step 6

Step 8

Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, bromine, iodine or ammonia chemicals, as these will deteriorate the stainless steel material and shorten the life of the unit.

Do not use a water jet (pressure sprayer) to clean the unit, or component failure could result.

8.Open the doors and remove side racks. Clean the racks with soap and water.

9.Clean the interior of the cabinet thoroughly with a cloth and soap water.

10.Put the side racks and water pan back into the cabinet.

11.Leave at least one door open over night to allow the unit to thoroughly dry out.
