A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
The SandenVendo is committed to safety in every aspect of our product design.
SandenVendo is committed to alerting every user to the possible dangers involved in
improper handling or maintenance of our equipment. The servicing of any electrical or
mechanical device involves potential hazards, both to those servicing the equipment
and to users of the equipment. These hazards can arise because of improper
maintenance techniques. The purpose of this manual is to alert everyone servicing
SandenVendo equipment of potentially hazardous areas, and to provide basic safety
guidelines for proper maintenance.
This manual contains various warnings that should be read and carefully followed to
minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. This manual also contains
service information to insure that proper methods are followed to avoid damaging the
Hot Food Display (HFD) or making it unsafe. It is also important to understand these
warnings are not exhaustive. SandenVendo could not possibly know, evaluate, or
advise of all of the conceivable ways in which service might be done, nor can
SandenVendo predict all of the possible hazardous results. The safety precautions
outlined in this manual provide the basis for an effective safety program. Use these
precautions, along with the service manual, when installing or servicing the HFD.
We strongly recommend a similar commitment to safety by every servicing organization.
Only properly trained personnel should have access to the interior of the machine. This
will minimize the potential hazards that are inherent in electrical and mechanical
devices. SandenVendo has no control over the machine once it leaves the premises. It
is the owner or lessor’s responsibility to maintain the Hot Food Display in a safe
condition. Follow all Safety Warnings and Installation Requirements in this manual.
Refer to the Technical Service Manual for recommended maintenance procedures. If
you have any questions, please contact the Technical Services Department of
SandenVendo at 800-344-7216.
