INSTALLATION

Accessories

INSTALLATION

A. Inspect for Shipping Damage

All shipping containers should be examined for damage before and during
unloading. This equipment was carefully inspected and packaged at
the factory. The freight carrier has assumed responsibility for its safe
transit and delivery. If equipment is received in damage condition, either
apparent of concealed, a claim must be made with the delivery carrier.

1. Apparent Damage or Loss - If damage or loss is apparent it must be
noted on the freight bill or express receipt at the time of delivery, and
it must be signed by the carrier’s agent (driver). If this is not done, the
carrier may refuse the claim. The carrier will supply the necessary claim forms.

2. 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. The carrier will make an inspection and will supply necessary claim forms. Be
certain to retain all contents plus external and internal packaging materials for inspection.

B. Unpacking Hot Food Server

1. Open carton and remove it from around hot food server, then remove the empty carton from
the area.

2. Remove all tape from unit and set food server on its side on three 2x4’s (as shown in Figure
2-1) so the packing skid attached to the bottom of the unit is off the ground.

WARNING: DO NOT set the unit on its back, damage could be occur to the power cord or

conduit. Place unit on its side.

3. Remove 4 bolts attaching skid to bottom of unit.

INSTALLATION continued

C. Installation of Free-Standing Models

1. Counter top Models 3B22D, 3A81D, 3A20D, 3A21D , 3B82D AND 3B84D.

a. Countertop models are shipped with a set of four 4”(102mm) adjustable legs or an

optional set of 4 casters (see Accessories Chart on previous page) can be ordered.
Screw the legs or casters into the threaded holes in the corners of the unit bottom.

b. Hot food servers with legs can be set on the oor or on the counter. Units with

casters can only be set on the oor. Do not set the hot food server with casters

on a counter top.

c. Level unit with legs by turning the hexagonal adjustment feet located at the bottom

of the legs.

2. Floor Models 3B82DT, 3C8XD, 3C84D AND 3D8XD are usually installed as oor models

due to their size. One of the available leg or caster accessory kits must be used in the
installation.

a. Leg Installation using accessory kit (see chart for available leg or caster accessories,

sold separately)

Locate and open the accessory leg kit and the hardware package included with it.

With the hot food server on it side and the 2x4’s still positioned under the unit, align

the square corner of a leg ange with a corner of the unit. Attach the leg ange using
5 of the bolts furnished. Refer to gure 2-2.

Repeat for remaining three legs.

Carefully set unit upright, using a level, level the server by turning the adjustable feet.

b. Caster Installation using accessory kit (see chart for available leg or caster

accessories, sold separately)

The casters kits are installed the same as the leg kits above, except 2 of the casters

are xed and should be installed at one end or at the rear. The other 2 swivel casters
with brakes are installed opposite the xed casters.

3. Electrical Connections:

FREE STANDING UNITS: All free standing hot food servers are quipped with a factory installed 36”

(914mm) cord and plug.

• 120V models: Plug conforms to NEMA Standard 5-15P

• 208/240V models: Plug conforms to NEMA Standard 6-15P

BUILT-IN UNITS: Most units are provided with a 48” exible metal conduit for electrical connections

(see electrical specications for specics).

D. Installation of Built-In Units:

All of these units are true built-in models and are designed to be installed into the front face of a counter xture.
Front of units extends beyond the body to form a self-trimming ange that covers the cut out in the xture.

1. Cabinet Cut Out and Support. Cut out the face of the counter xture according to the drawing that is

provided with your hot food server. Figure 2-5 can also be used for the cut out drawing of your model
number. As shown in the drawing allow 1/2” (13mm) minimum cabinet face material above top of cut out
opening. This allows unobstructed seating of hot food server ange.

Be sure counter xture has adequate depth from front face to inside of back to accept the hot food server.

Minimum depths are shown for each model in Figure 2-5.

a. The hot food server body must be supported from the bottom. This can be accomplished by

installing metal support angles of wooden support blocks as shown in Figure 2-5. The supports
are not supplied and must be furnished using a suitable strength metal or wood. The top surface
of these supports must be 1/16” (3mm) below the bottom edge of the face cut out. A metal or
wood crossbrace approximately 2-1/2” (64mm) wide should be securely mounted between the
supports as shown. The center line of the crossbrace must be 4” (102mm) from the face of the
cut out and its top surface must be ush with the side supports.

b. An alternate support method is to install a solid at platform in lieu of the side supports and

crossbrace. The top surface of the platform must be 1/16” (3mm) below the bottom edge of the

cut out.

2. Install Leveling Feet (shown
below). Open the top drawer
and remove the small cloth bag
containing four hex head cap
screws & two mounting screws.
Thread these four screws hand
tight up into the four holes in
the bottom of the unit. Refer to

2-6.

3. Electrical Connection. All electrical connections required for this unit must be performed by a certied

electrician. Built-in models are equipped with a 3/4” (19mm) diameter x 4ft. (122cm) long exible conduit
containing power lead pigtails and a ground wire. It is necessary that this conduit and the wiring leads
connect at a junction box in accordance with local codes. Be sure to check the data plate on the front of
the unit to be sure the power supply is correct. 115V units operate on voltage ranging from 110V to 125V.
220V units operate on voltage ranging from 208V to 240V.

4. Mount Unit in Cabinet.
a. Remove the drawer(s) from the unit, pull the drawer(s) out to the stop. Grasp the entire drawer

assembly at the sides as if to lift it and locate your thumbs on the tabs of the drawer slide (gure
2-7). Press down on these tabs with your thumbs and simultaneously pull out on the drawer. Set
drawer assembly aside.

b. Lift the unit form both sides and start its backside into the cut out. Push back until the trim ange

meets the face of the xture.

c. Place a level on the oor of the unit and check from side to side and front to back. If adjustments

are necessary, slide the entire unit out of the xture and adjust the leveling feet as required.

d. Secure the unit into position after leveling. There are two holes in the unit bottom for this purpose

(See Figure 2-6). Place a drill bit down through these two holes and bore two pilot holes into the
crossbrace beneath. Tighten a pair of at head sheet metal screws down through these holes
and into the crossbrace. The unit is now installed.

e. Replace the drawers. NOTE: The drawers of multiple drawer units are individually identied

(ex: “TOP”, “2” AND “3”). They should be reinstalled in their respective positions.

E. Initial Start-up

1. Turn on the branch line circuit

breaker

2. Set the thermostat control dial

at “10” the indiactor light will
come on indicating that unit is
calling for heat.

3. After a few minutes have

elapsed, open a drawer and
check that the unit is heating.

NOTE: If your unit is equipped with

a separate thermostat for each
drawer, complete Steps 2 & 3
for each drawer individually.

4. If unit fails to heat, recheck to

be sure circuit breakers are
on and electrical connections
are properly made. If it still
fails to heat, call a Toastmaster
Authorized Service Agent.
