CAUTION

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 for
use directly by the general public in food service locations.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

These models are equipped for the voltage and wattage indicated on the nameplate.
They are designed to operate on alternating current, two wire single-phase service
only. A three wire grounding cord with a three-prong attachment plug is provided.

DO NOT CONNECT TO DIRECT CURRENT (DC).

INSTALLATION

1. Single drawer units are supplied with 1” feet pre-assembled to the unit. Two and three
drawer units are supplied with 4” feet. These feet must be assembled to the bottom of the
unit once the shipping pallet has been removed. Do not install without the feet provided.
Contact the factory or one of its representatives for optional 4” feet for single drawer
units.

2. Place the unit on a at level surface.

3. Thoroughly clean the unit before placing it in service. Remove the drawer by extending
it fully then lifting slightly on the front of the drawer to clear the drawer stop. Replace the
drawer by reversing this procedure. See Figure 1 below.

Figure 1

4. Connect the power cord to the appropriate receptacle.

5. Units of the same series (either narrow or wide construction) can be stacked directly
on each other when the feet are removed. Do not stack more than four drawers high.
To prevent a tipping hazard do not open more than one heavily loaded drawer at a time.
Do not place more than 30 lbs. of food in each drawer.

CAUTION

DO NOT IMMERSE THE UNIT IN WATER. DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED WATER
TO CLEAN THE UNIT. DO NOT ALLOW ANY LIQUID TO ENTER THE CONTROL
COMPARTMENT THROUGH THE LOUVERED AIR OPENINGS.

CLEANING

1. Disconnect the unit from the electrical power source before cleaning.

2. Allow the unit to cool thoroughly before cleaning. Avoid contact with the heated parts of
the unit.

3. Clean the unit daily. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent to keep the stainless steel
panels free of scratches. If an abrasive cleaner is used rub in the direction of the grain

to prevent unsightly scratches to the nish.

OPERATION

1. The temperature control will regulate temperatures inside the drawer cavity and is adjustable
from 100° to 200°F. Pressing the ON/OFF button of the temperature control activates the
unit. This control will provide close regulation of the temperature in the drawer and give
an indication of the food temperature. The setpoint is displayed by pressing and holding
the TEMP button. Adjust the regulated temperature by pressing the + or – buttons while
holding the TEMP button down. The actual drawer temperature is displayed when no
buttons are pressed and the control is in the ON mode. The dot in the lower corner of the
display indicates when the control is calling for heat.

CAUTION
FOOD TEMPERATURE WILL VARY FROM THE CONTROL SET TEMPERATURE
BASED ON THE MOISTURE CONTENT AND CONSISTENCY OF THE FOOD
PRODUCT

2. Each drawer is equipped with a moisture control. Turn the black knob above the drawer
handle ¼ turn to the left to free the control adjustment. Slide the knob to align the holes
in the drawer front and vent any excess moisture to produce a crisp product. Position the

knob so that the holes are closed to produce a moist product.

Lock the control in position by turning the knob ¼ turn to the right. Different combinations

of food products and heat settings will require different moisture settings. Breads and

rolls are difcult to hold for prolonged periods of time because of the low moisture content of

the product. These products are best held between 120° and 140°F. To retain the moisture
of these products place them in a plastic bag when in the warmer. Time and experience
is required to determine the optimum combination of temperature and moisture setting to
provide a palatable product that will hold for an extended period of time.

3. Preheat the unit for ½ hour before placing food in the warmer. This unit is intended to
hold hot food at the proper serving temperature. Foods should be heated to the proper
temperature prior to being placed in the warmer. Most meat and poultry foods are best
held between 160° and 175°F.

4. Optimum holding temperatures for specic foods are based on the products moisture content,

product density, volume and proper serving temperature. Safe sanitary temperatures must
be considered when determining the length of time a product can be held and remain
palatable. Allow foods that are heated to extreme temperatures during preparation to cool

before being placed in the warmer to prevent the accumulation of excess condensation.

CAUTION
TO PREVENT A TIPPING HAZARD AND POTENTIAL BODILY INJURY DO NOT

OPEN MORE THAN ONE HEAVILY LOADED DRAWER AT A TIME. IT IS
NOT RECOMMENDED TO PLACE MORE THAN 30 LBS OF FOOD IN EACH
DRAWER.
