Metro Heated Cabinets are for

Hot Food Holding applications only

1. With the POWER switch OFF, plug the supply power cord into an appropriate,
grounded, receptacle. (Refer to the cabinet data plate for voltage and
ampere rating).

2. Ensure that the cabinet’s fl oor duct and water pan are installed. (refer to
the cabinet operating instructions). This helps to distribute the heat evenly
throughout the cabinet.

3. If extra humidity is desired, fi ll the water pan in the fl oor duct of the cabinet
with clean warm water. The capacity of the pan is about one quart (one liter).

4. Set the POWER switch to the ON position. The red power light next to the
switch will glow when the power is switched ON and will continue to glow until
switched OFF.

5. Set the TEMPERATURE control to 6 or 7. This should provide a temperature
of 150° to 170°F (66° to 77°C) after allowing the cabinet to preheat for 45 to 60
minutes.

6. The red indicator light between the thermostat and thermometer will turn on
and off as the thermostat and heat elements cycle.

7. To change temperature set point, turn the TEMPERATURE control knob. About
30 minutes after a knob is turned, the thermometer should accurately display
the change in cabinet temperature.

8. To clean cabinet, turn power off, unplug from wall outlet, allow the cabinet to
cool, remove the fl oor duct and pan, wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and
dry with a towel.

9. Consult the instructions for use for additional operation and maintenance
information.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: Follow all food safety guidelines. Pre-heat the cabinet to the desired temperature before placing

cooked, hot food into the cabinet. This is not a re-thermalizing cabinet. Food must be at the appropriate
temperature before being placed into this cabinet. Use a food probe to check internal food temperature
— the cabinet temperature is not necessarily the internal food temperature.

WARNING: Only factory approved service agents should attempt to service, repair or replace electrical

components, wiring or power cord.

WARNING: Unplug the cabinet before cleaning or servicing. Do not wash the cabinet with a water jet or high

pressure water.

WARNING: This cabinet is for hot food holding applications only.

CAUTION: Do not spray or pour water into the top of the cabinet (control enclosure). To clean the cabinet, wipe

with a damp cloth and dry with a towel. Use only cleaning agents approved for stainless steel or
aluminum (depending on your cabinet construction).

CAUTION: Water dripping onto the fl oor from open doors can be a slip hazard.

INSTALLATION AND SET-UP

1. Check for Shipping Damage: Check the packaging and cabinet for shipping damage after unloading the unit,
and after removing all the packaging.

2. The receiver of this product is responsible for fi ling freight damage claims. This equipment must be opened
immediately for inspection. All visible damage must be reported to the freight company within 48 hours and must
be noted on freight bill at the time of delivery.

3. Concealed damage is your responsibility — you must advise the carrier of any loss or damage within 15 days
after receipt of the cabinet. If there is damage, retain the original packaging for inspectors.

4. After unpacking the cabinet, remove all tape and packing material from the inside as well as outside of the unit.

5. Any protective covers (plastic or paper sheet) on the sheet metal or clear door, if applicable, must also be
removed before turning the cabinet on.

WARNING: Only factory approved service agents should attempt to service, repair or replace electrical

components, wiring or the power cord.

6. The power cord can be installed to exit the back
of the cabinet for wall outlets or out the top of the
cabinet for ceiling power drops. To change the
position of the power cord, fi rst make sure the
cabinet power switch is off and the power cord is
unplugged from any electrical outlet. Remove the
(7) screws holding the cabinet top in place. Lift
the rear portion of the cabinet top and slide it

away from under the front control bezel, removing it from the cabinet. Remove the (2) screws on the rear of the

cabinet that hold the cord bracket in place. Rotate the power cord bracket 90° to the desired position and reattach
it with the (2) screws to the back of the cabinet. Make sure the green ground wire connection and the wire nuts on the
black and white wires have not loosened. Do not alter the wiring of the power cord to the cabinet. Replace
the cabinet top and the (7) screws holding it in place.

7. Refer to the data plate located near the power cord for the electrical
specifi cations of cabinet. With the POWER switch OFF, plug the
cord into the appropriate rated, grounded receptacle. Cabinets
rated at 120V 2000W must be plugged into 125VAC 20 amp
receptacle and must be used on an individual branch circuit.
Cabinets rated at 120V 1440W may be plugged into either a
15 amp or 20 amp receptacle. Cabinets rated at 220-240V
1681-2000W must be plugged into a 250VAC, 15 amp receptacle.

8. Your C5 cabinet is designed to operate next to walls and other kitchen equipment. However, the greater the
clearance around the sides and the top of the cabinet, the cooler the electrical components will operate.
This may result in a longer life expectancy for the electrical components.
