RECOMMENDED CONTROL SETTINGS AND HOLDING TIMES

Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service personnel employ varied methods of cooking. Proper holding temperatures for a speciic 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 speciic 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

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and

experienced in its operation and is not sold for consumer use in and around the home nor CAUTION for use directly by the general public in food service locations.

All shipping containers should be checked for freight damage both visible and concealed. This unit has been tested and carefully packaged to insure delivery of your unit in perfect condition. If equipment is received in damaged condition, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.

Concealed damage or loss - if damage or loss is not apparent until after equipment is unpacked, a

request for inspection of concealed damage must be made with carrier within 15 days. Be certain to retain all contents plus external and internal packaging materials for inspection. The carrier will make

an inspection and will supply necessary claim forms.

WARNING

CAUTION

INSTALLATION

Each machine has been properly wired and inspected at the factory for operation on the voltage and type of current speciied on the nameplate. Machines with a nameplate stamped 120V, are equipped

for operation on 120 volt 60 hertz AC single phase service and must be connected to a separate 15 amp circuit with a 3 wire grounded, polarized receptacle. 230V models must be connected to a 230V, 60Hz, AC single phase service.

Water hardness in some areas will cause scaling (lime scale buildup) in your equipment. This scaling will coat the inside of the reservoir and waterlines of your Hot Food Humidity Cabinet. Therefore, STAR Manufacturing recommends using distilled water for the prevention of scaling in your equipment. This will prolong the life of your STAR equipment.

DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF CURRENT SOURCE OR THE MACHINE WILL BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.

The guarantee of this machine covered by the warranty card does not apply if an improper installation has been made.

DO NOT BLOCK VENT HOLES ON TOP OF THE CABINET.

Fill Light - This is used as a reminder during start

up. When the power switch is pushed on the ill light will illuminate to remind the operator to ill the reservoir. The ill light will go OFF when the reservoir is illed to the maximum.

b.Pre-set Selection - This control comes from the factory with 6 programmed pre-set selections indicated as Preset 1, etc. These

correspond to the temperature and humidity setting as indicated in the table below:

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Install inside food rack or pizza/pretzel shelves depending on the model unit purchased. The shelves are in the enclosed accessory carton (See Figure 1).

2.Plug the unit into a grounded 120 V.A.C. receptacle (230V receptacle for European models).

LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF CONTROLS

The operating controls are located above the door on the side of the unit next to the water ill (See Figure 2).

1.Temperature Indicator - Displays temperature

2.Water Level Indicators - When ON water level is too low

3.ON/OFF Switch - Activates lights, digital thermometer and air circulation system.

4.Low Water Light - When the light is ON this indicates that water must be added. The ill light will also come on. Element shuts OFF until water is added.

4	175F°	6
5	150F°	5
6	150F°	5

To select Pre-Sets press and hold MODE then press SELECT to toggle through pre-sets. Stop on the desired pre-set setting. For speciic food products, see the Recommended Control Settings and

Holding Times section.

Temperature and Humidity Programming- A pre-set can be changed. Hold + and - for 3 seconds until the current temperature is displayed. Push + up or - down to set the desired cabinet temperature. Press MODE to display the humidity setting. Press + up or - down to set the desired humidity level. A setting of 5 will be about 25% relative humidity. Press MODE to leave program.

By pressing and holding MODE and then SELECT different pre-sets can be individually chosen and reset to a speciic temperature and humidity setting.

(Maximum temperature is 175°F and humidity 10).

NOTE

Using tap water will promote scaling that will eventually 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.

Both lights will be off until the water level drops below a speciied set level and the low water light comes on. The water heater will stop operating until water is added. The ill light will be "ON" until the water level reaches the ill water indicator probe.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Turn power switch on.

2.Set desired temperature and humidity or desired pre-set. Allow approximately 20 minutes for machine to reach proper temperature. (Time will vary depending on temperature setting.)

3.Fill water reservoir.

4.Monitor cabinet temperature via the digital thermometer on the control (See Figure 2).

5.Periodically monitor water level by indicator on control panel (See Figure 2).
