II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM
Your cabinet is designed to MAINTAIN the
temperature of HOT prepared foods. The
module is equipped with a thermostatically
controlled heater and a blower for air
circulation. A POWER switch is provided along
with a red light to indicate when the unit is
switched ON. Next to the POWER switch is the
TEMPERATURE control.
A short, grounded, module power supply cord is
supplied fixed to the module. This power supply
cord must be unplugged from the cabinet power
supply cord as the module is removed from the
cabinet. The cabinet power supply cord is fixed
to the underside of the cabinet. Likewise, when
installing the module into a cabinet, the module
power supply cord must be plugged into the
cabinet power supply cord.
1. Refer to the data plate located near the
power cord for the electrical specifications of
cabinet. With the power switch off, plug the
cord into the appropriate rated, grounded
receptable. Cabinets rated at 120V 20
amp must be plugged into a 125VAC 20
amp receptacle and must be used on an
individual branch circuit. Cabinets rated at
120V 15 amp may be plugged into either a
15 amp or 20 amp receptacle.
Cabinets rated at 220V 1650W must be
plugged into a 250VAC 15 amp receptacle.
NOTE: A 15 amp cabinet can be plugged
into 20 amp service. A 20 amp unit must be
plugged into a 20 amp receptacle.
2. Snap POWER switch to ON. The red POWER
light will now glow and the blower will begin
circulating air. Note: This is not a foot switch.
Operating it with your foot can damage the
switch and make the cabinet inoperable.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE thermostat to a setting
of 10. The holding unit is now in operation.
4. After allowing the cabinet to PREHEAT
FOR APPROXIMATELY 45/60 MINUTES,
reduce the thermostat setting to 6/8. In a
room of average temperature (72°F) this
should provide 150° to 170°F (65°-76°C).
Adjustments to the temperature may be
made as necessary.
THIS IS A HOT FOOD HOLDING
CABINET AND IS NOT INTENDED TO
RETHERMALIZE COLD FOOD. MAKE
SURE FOOD AND CABINETS ARE AT
PROPER TEMPERATURES BEFORE
PLACING FOOD IN THE CABINET.
NOTE: The POWER (red) light will glow
as soon as the POWER switch is switched
ON and will continue to glow until switched
OFF. The blower will operate as long as the
POWER switch is ON.
It is not necessary at the end of the operating
day to disrupt the TEMPERATURE setting in
order to turn the unit OFF. By switching the
POWER switch to OFF, the unit is no longer
operating. By switching the POWER switch to
ON when resuming operations, the cabinet
will attain the preset level (or it can be
preheated at a setting of 10 before adjusting
to the desired temperature).
B. CANNED FUEL SYSTEM (Optional)
The Canned Fuel system does not require
the electric heating module to be turned on
for operation. Each bottom-mounted drawer
holds 2 cans of fuel. Lift slightly and pull the
drawer out until it stops or lift the drawer front
and remove it from the cabinet. Place a fuel
can into each round cutout and light the fuel.
Close the drawer.
NOTE: Filling each canned fuel drawer with
2 cans of fuel will heat the unit to 200°F in
approximately 45 minutes. In order to maintain
a desired temperature, some of the canned
fuel cans may need to be extinguished.
Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for canned
fuel usage.

CABINET MAY BE HOT ENOUGH TO BURN.
A. SHELF REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
To remove the shelves, all shelves must first
be lowered onto the bottom shelf. Start with
the shelf above the bottom shelf by lifting it off
of the shelf hangers and by lowering the front
edge and raising the rear edge so that it can
be lowered onto the bottom shelf. Repeat the
procedure until all of the shelves are on the
stack on the bottom shelf.
On double door cabinets, lift the uppermost
shelf off of the stack so that you are holding
onto the long edge of the shelf and the shelf
is hanging vertically. Position the shelf so one
vertical edge is in one of the rear cabinet
corners. Swing the other vertical edge out the
door and remove the shelf. Repeat until all the
shelves are removed.
On single door cabinets, lift each shelf off of
the stack so that you are holding onto the long
edge of the shelf and the shelf is hanging
vertically. Position the shelf so that one vertical
edge is in one of the rear cabinet corners and
the other vertical edge is towards the diagonal
front corner. Depending on the model of the
one door cabinet, the shelf may have to be
rotated towards a vertical position to remove it
from the cabinet.
To install the shelves, reverse the above
procedure. Before installing the shelves
install the module (Section B below) and, if so
equipped, the Quad-Heat Fuel System baffle(s)
and chimney(s) (Section C below).
NOTE: The shelf wires that run from left to right
in the cabinet should be on the top side of the
installed shelves. Make sure the shelves are
seated in the hangers correctly.
On single door MBQ-90 and 72 cabinets, the
shelves have two 90° square corners and two
45° notched corners. The 45° corners go to the
right end as you look into the cabinet.
B. ELECTRIC HEATING MODULE
REMOVAL /INSTALLATION
1. Remove the module from the cabinet by
lifting and sliding the module rearward. Lift
the front of the module and stand it vertically
4
Page 6
on the floor of the cabinet. The control panel
will be facing the ceiling. Unplug the module
power supply cord from the cabinet supply
cord and remove the module from the cabinet.
2. Do not use abrasive cleaners. For every
cleaning method, best results are always
obtained when the cleaner and technique
are matched to the soil conditions involved.
Contact your detergent representative to
ensure the cleaning product being used is
recommended for use on stainless steel.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions on
cleaners. Never mix cleaners.
CAUTION
DO NOT ALLOW THE CABINET POWER
SUPPLY CORD RECEPTACLE TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH WATER OR CLEANSERS.
IT MUST BE DRY BEFORE PLUGGING THE
MODULE POWER SUPPLY CORD INTO IT.
C. QUAD-HEAT DUAL FUEL SYSTEM
REMOVAL /INSTALLATION
1. The heat conductive baffles spread the heat
from the canned fuel drawers to the corner
chimneys. The heat baffles are next to the
standard electric module. First, remove the
Electric Heating System module. To remove
a baffle, lift up on the recessed handle to
disengage the edge of the baffle from the
locator pin in the bottom of the cabinet. Then
slide the baffle away from the nearest end of
the cabinet until it clears the shelf hangers
and lift it out of the cabinet.
2. To remove the corner chimneys (after
removing the heat conduction baffles) put
your thumb and finger into the two holes near
the upper end of the chimney and lift the
chimney off its hanger and remove it from
the cabinet.
To install the Quad-Heat dual fuel system,
reverse the above instructions. When
installing the chimneys, make sure they
are securely seated on the hangers. When
sliding the baffles to the end of the cabinet,
make sure the slots in the bottom of the
chimney engage the baffle and that the
baffle is locked into the locator pins by
pushing down on the recessed handle.
D. SPECIFIC CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
DO NOT IMMERSE THE ELECTRIC HEATING
MODULE WHEN CLEANING.
1. Use a damp cloth and dry with a towel.
Special attention should be paid to keeping
the air-inlet area and the controls area free of
dirt build-up.
BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY DRY THE
MODULE BEFORE RETURNING IT TO USE.
2. Do not neglect to clean the under-chassis
area, especially the area above each caster.
3. The cabinet or component(s) must be
thoroughly rinsed to remove any residue that
may stain the materials.
E. GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. LIGHT SOIL
If routine (daily) cleaning is practiced, a mild
soap and warm water should be sufficient to
keep the unit clean.
2. HEAVIER SOIL
If cleaning has been postponed, solvent or
emulsion type cleaners that can be applied
with bare hands will give excellent results.
Such cleaners are available under various
brand names. Detergent suppliers can
recommend materials appropriate for use on
stainless steel.
NOTE: For every cleaning method, best
results are always obtained when the cleaner
and techniques are matched to the soil
conditions involved. To ensure using the
proper cleaner for stainless steel, contact
your detergent representative.
IV. maInTenanCe
A. CABINET MAINTENANCE
Your cabinet has been designed to require
very little maintenance. With normal use,
cleaning is the only form of maintenance
that needs to be done on a regular basis.
Keeping the casters free of dirt build-up will
go a long way in prolonging their life.
If your cabinet is rolled over rough surfaces
or transported over the road, the various
threaded fasteners, i.e., screws and nuts,
should be periodically inspected and tightened if necessary, particularly the handles,
door hinges and caster fasteners.
B. ELECTRIC HEATING MODULE
MAINTENANCE
The module in the base of your cabinet has
also been designed to require very little
maintenance. With normal use, cleaning is
the only form of maintenance that needs to
be done on a regular basis. When cleaning,
do not spray or pour water on the module
and do not immerse the module in water.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a towel.
Keeping vital areas such as the air-inlet area
and the controls area free of dirt build-up will
go a long way in prolonging the life of the
electrical components. No maintenance is
required on the electrical components.
C. BLOWER MOTOR MAINTENANCE
The blower motor requires no maintenance
other than keeping the unit clear of dirt, dust
and food particles.

D. SWIVEL-LOCK CASTER SYSTEM
OPERATION
The casters that are controlled by the swivel-
lock mechanism are normally locked in the rigid
or “travel” position. Stepping on the swivel-lock
release loop allows the casters at that end of
the cabinet to rotate out of the rigid position
when the cabinet is moved in tight spaces or
around sharp corners, without dragging.

release loop until the casters are out of the
rigid position.
When you remove your foot from the swivel-
lock release loop the casters will continue to
be free to swivel until the cabinet is pulled for a
distance from the opposite side and the casters
swivel back into the rigid or “travel” position.
