RECOMMENDED CONTROL SETTINGS AND HOLDING TIMES
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service personnel employ varied methods of cooking. Proper holding
temperatures for a specic food product must be based on the moisture content of the product, density,
volume, and proper serving temperatures. Safe holding temperatures must also be correlated with palatability in
determining the length of holding time for a specic product. The following are some recommended settings and
holding times for products generally held in the cabinet.
See the control label or the Temperature and Humidity Control Operation section of this manual for instructions
on changing the presets. Temperatures indicated on the cabinet display do not always match the product
temperature.
PRODUCT PRESET PRESET RECOMMENDED
TIME NUMBER SETTING HOLDING
Pizza 1 (T-175°F, H-10) 1 Hour
Bread Products 2 (T-120°F, H-10) 3 Hours
Sandwiches 3 (T-170°F, H-6) 2 Hours
Chicken 4 (T-175°F. H-6) 5 Hours

cause clogging of water tubes and prevent the proper
operation of the Humidity Cabinet. The use of distilled
water will prevent scaling inside the water lines of the
cabinet.
