DMW-22-TDL SERVICE MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to provide a guide for technical service of Meister Cook’s 2x2 Dry Moist
Warmer for Tim Hortons (model DMW-22-TDL). This manual will provide an overview of the
operation of the DMW-22-TDL, as well as a guide for troubleshooting fault symptoms.
Before getting started, it will be helpful to have the following tools and equipment:
Phillips screwdrivers - #00, #1, #2
Right-angle Phillips screwdriver - #2
Wrench and socket set
Needle nose pliers
Side-cut pliers or scissors
Plastic Cable Ties
Multimeter
Power monitor for 120VAC circuits (e.g. Kill-a-Watt, clamp-on current meter)
Heat gun
Degreasing cleaner (e.g. Goof-Off) and stainless steel cleaner
Cleaning rags – non-abrasive, lint-free
2. BASIC THEORY OF OPERATION
The DMW-22-TDL is designed to hold potentially-hazardous hot food products at safe temperatures
for an extended period of time, without degrading the quality of the food products.
The DMW-22-TDL has (2) independently-controlled heated holding chambers, each which can hold
(2) 1/3-size food pans. Underneath each chamber is a large, finned heater. Convection, provided by
a tangential blower, moves air across the heater and transfers that heat over top the food product in
the pans; the air recirculates, and continues to heat up. Also, heat from the heater is transferred to
the pan shelf, creating a hot plate.
Above each pan is a reversible moist/dry insert. In the “Dry” orientation, heated air passes directly
over the food product; this is recommended for food products that need to maintain a level of
crispiness. The dry orientation has a “third hand” feature that holds the pan in place when it is
partially removed. In the “Moist” orientation, heated air passes over the insert, effectively creating a
top hot plate; this is recommended for food products that need to maintain a level of moisture.
The DMW-22-TDL contains 40 factory default product presets, each of which can be modified and
saved by the operator. Each preset has a distinct 4-letter name, temperature setpoint (165F – 250F),
“Cook” alert time (up to 9hrs 59min) and a “Dump” product alert time (up to 9hrs 59min). See the
table below for factory defaults.

DMW-22-TDL SERVICE MANUAL
The UI has a menu of (4) product presets, (1) for each pan. These may be changed at any time. Each
row has (2) presets each. Based on which preset is selected, the highest temperature setpoint of the
two presets will determine that row’s temperature setpoint; this is why it is advised to either
program the same presets in the same row, or to program two different presets with equal
temperatures.
Also, the presets determine the countdown timers. If, in any of the 4 bins, the same preset is
selected, all timers will be based on a first-in, first-out basis; the first timer started for a given product
will flash the brightest.
There are (2) pages of menus presets, one for AM products and the other for PM products. See the
table below for factory defaults (note that v1.46 and later systems have both English and French
default menus):
Temperature feedback is provided by a thermocouple that is placed inside each intake funnel. As
part of a temperature-control circuit with the UI Board and TC Board, the temperature is measured
and compared against a programmed setpoint. As long as the measured temperature is below the
setpoint, the UI Board will signal the Power Supply to power the heater (via Triacs) at approximately
400W. As the measured temperature approaches the setpoint, the power draw on the heater is
gradually reduced. Once the measured temperature reaches the setpoint, the control circuit will
adjust the power to the heater to maintain a constant temperature; the average power draw beyond
this point is reduced. The warm-up process will take between 25-35 minutes, depending on the
setpoint.
