2-1. INTRODUCTION

2-2. UNPACKING

This section provides the installation instructions for the
Henny Penny Humidity Control Adjustable.

Installation of this unit should be performed only by
a qualified service technician.

Do not puncture the skin of the unit with drills or
screws as component damage or electrical shock
could result.

The Henny Penny humidity control adjustable has
been tested, inspected, and expertly packed to
ensure arrival at its destination in the best possible
condition. The cabinet rests on cardboard pads that
sit on a wooden skid. The racks inside the cabinet
are secured with cardboard packing. The unit is then
packed inside a heavy cardboard carton with
sufficient padding to withstand normal shipping
treatment.

Any shipping damage should be noted in the
presence of the delivery agent and signed prior to
his or her departure.

To remove the Henny Penny heated holding cabinet
from the carton, you should:

1. Carefully cut banding straps.

2. Lift the carton off the unit.

CONNECTION

3. Lift the unit off the cardboard padding and skid.

Take care when moving the fryer to prevent
personal injury. The unit weighs 379 lbs. (172 kg.).

4. Open doors and remove packing from behind
racks.

5. Peel off any protective covering from the exterior
of the cabinet.

6. The unit is now ready for location and set up.

The HCA910/905 should be placed in an area where
the doors can be opened without interruption and
loading and unloading of product is easy. For proper
operation, the cabinet must be level.

To prevent damaging the unit, do not set anything
on top of the cabinet that might close off the vent
holes.

The heated holding cabinet is available from the
factory as a 240 VAC unit. The data plate, located
on the side of the module, will specify the correct
electrical supply. The unit requires a grounded
receptacle with a separate electrical line protected
by a fuse or circuit breaker of the proper rating.

This unit must be adequately and safely grounded.
Refer to local electrical codes for correct
grounding procedures. If unit is not adequately
grounded, electrical shock could result.

2-6. WATER SUPPLY
CONNECTION

The automatic water fill system requires a water
supply. The unit is equipped with a water strainer
and clamp for a hose connection. It is also equipped
with an eight foot nylabraid hose tubing. Run the
tubing to the cabinet location, providing enough
tubing to allow movement of the unit for cleaning or
maintenance. The use of a water condition or filter
is recommended. A shut-on valve should be
installed in the supply line.

Do not operate this unit without water connected to
cabinet, or damage to components will result.

To install water supply connection, follow these
steps:

1. Flush the incoming water line.

2. Slide tubing over end of water strainer.

3. Tighten tubing clamp.

4. Check for leaks.

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 HCA910/905 into operation, move the
power switch to the “ON” position. The power light
should now be illuminated and the blowers should
be in operation.

The unit should take approximately 25-35 minutes

STEP 1

STEP 2

to heat to temperature during start up. Be sure that
the temperature light goes out before loading with
product.

2. When the water level lower than the setting
position, the water valve will work. Then the water
is flowing into the water pan. When the pan is filled
to the proper level, the water valve will turn off and
water will stop flowing.

There is a 10 second delay before the float switch
will activate the water valve. This is to eliminate
over-working the components in the event the
cabinet is bumped or moved.

3. The heat light should illuminate indicating the
unit is heating. When heat light goes out, the unit
has reached proper operating temperature.

4. Although the cabinet and water temperature are
factory preset, they are adjustable. If more cabinet

3-6

temperature is desired, rotate adjustment shaft
clockwise. If less cabinet temperature is desired,
rotate adjustment shaft counter-clockwise. If more
humidity is required, rotate adjustment shaft
clockwise to increase humidity and
counterclockwise to decrease humidity.

PRODUCT

3-5. CLEANING

PROCEDURES

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

2. Serve the product first that has been in the cabinet
the longest.

3. Open the doors only as necessary to load and
unload product. This will help temperature stay
constant and will save energy.

1. Turn all controls to the “OFF” position.

2. Disconnect the electrical supply to the cabinet.

Allow the unit to cool before cleaning, as the
interior of the cabinet may be hot enough to burn.

3. Open the doors and remove all trays from the
cabinet.

4. Take the trays to a sink and clean them
thoroughly.

Most surfaces of the HC-900 can be clealned with a
soft cloth, soap, and water. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

5. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Do not
splash water around the controls.

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

7. Open the doors and remove side racks. Clean the

3-7

racks with soap and water.

8. Clean the interior of the cabinet thoroughly with
a cloth and soapy water.

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

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

Water Pan Cleaning For more efficient operation,
the water pan must be cleaned daily.

Before removing water pan, be sure unit has
cooled down. Serve burns will result.

Drain the water pan into a bucket or pan by
rotating the drain cock on the front of the pan.
Remove pan and clean with a soft cloth, soap and
water. Daily cleaning is necessary to avoid lime
build-up on the float switch. Lime build-up on the
float switch will cause improper operation.
