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
2cans 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.

III.CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
AT NO TIME SHOULD THE MODULE OR CABINET BE WASHED OR FLOODED WITH WATER OR LIQUID SOLUTION. NEVER STEAM CLEAN. SEVERE DAMAGE OR ELECTRICAL HAZARD COULD RESULT.
1.Turn off power switch.
2.Unplug the unit from its power source.
warning
ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING, AS THE INTERIOR OF THE 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
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.
