GENERAL

INTRODUCTION

Vulcan Heated Holding Cabinets are
produced with quality workmanship and
material. Proper installation, usage, and
maintenance of your cabinet will result
in many years of satisfactory
performance.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical
service agrees with the specifications on
the rating plate located on the lower
back corner of the cabinet. (Fig.1) If the
supply and equipment requirements do
not agree, do not proceed with
unpacking and installation. Contact
your Vulcan Customer Service
Department immediately.

UNPACKING:
The Cabinet was inspected before
leaving the factory. The transportation
company assumes full responsibility for
safe delivery upon acceptance of the
shipment. Immediately after unpacking,
check for possible shipping damage to
the cabinet.

If the cabinet is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and
contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.

Carefully unpack and place in a work
accessible area as near the installation
position as possible.

It is suggested that you thoroughly read
this entire manual and carefully follow all
of the instructions provided.

The CBFT Correctional Holding
Cabinets are “Heavy Duty” and
designed for tough transportation
operations.

1. Open the door and carefully
remove any packaging materials.

2. Peel off vinyl protection film.

CLEANING:
The cabinet should be thoroughly
cleaned prior to putting into service.

Use a mild soap and water solution to
clean the interior of the unit. Never use
harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to
clean the unit. Refer to cleaning
instructions in this manual.

LOCATION:
For efficient cabinet operation, choose a
location that will provide easy loading
and unloading without interfering with
the final assembly of food orders.

The installation location must allow
adequate clearances for servicing and
proper operation.

OPERATION

CONTROLS

ON/OFF SWITCH

The cabinet is pre-set/programmed at the factory at a recommended temperature
of 165⁰ F.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once the cabinet has been properly
installed by competent service people,
cleaned, and connected to the
appropriate power source, the cabinet is
ready for operation.

TEMPERING:
At least 1 (one) hour prior to loading the
cabinet with the trays, plug the cabinet
into the proper electric outlet, and switch
the rocker switch to the ON position.
Allow the cabinet to run while the doors
remain closed. In 1 (one) hour, the
temperature inside should be 165⁰.
( + / - 10 degrees ).

LOADING:
Insert bulk food trays onto supplied
shelves as quickly as possible, exposing
only small quantities to room
temperature for short periods of time.
Load the cabinet while it is running,
keeping the doors closed as much as
possible. When the cart is loaded, allow
the temperatures to recover for
approximately 10 minutes prior to
transporting cabinet.

UNLOADING:
Once cabinet has been transported,
plug the cabinet into an appropriate
electrical outlet. This will re-activate the
heating element and automatically hold
the temperature at 165⁰. While the meal
trays are being distributed, keep the
door closed as much as possible.
At the completion of the meal service,
restack the trays within the cart, and
return the cabinet and trays to the
washing area.

The temperature in any
heated cabinet will fluctuate with
door opening and transportation.
The operator should always monitor
the food product to insure that it
remains at a proper temperature.

CLEANING

Always UNPLUG
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
before cleaning.

Keep the cabinet clean and sanitary so
it will meet your local sanitation code.

DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE
WATER OR STEAM ON THE
CABINET, FLOOD WITH WATER, OR
ALLOW ELECTRICAL PARTS TO
BECOME WET.

DAILY:

1. Unplug electrical power supply.

2. Allow cabinet to cool before
cleaning.

3. Clean the interior of the cabinet
with a mild soap and water.
Never use harsh chemicals or

abrasive pads to

4. Rinse and dry with a soft dry
cloth.

5. Clean the exterior of the cabinet
with a clean damp cloth.

HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING:

water, a degreaser, and a plastic,
stainless steel, or Scotch-Brite pad.
Never rub in a circular motion -- rub
gently in the direction of the steel grain.
Always rinse thoroughly.

clean the cabinet.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE

CLEANING:

Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron,
which will rust if not properly maintained.
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30%
chromium, which forms an invisible
passive, protective film that shields
against corrosion.

If the protective film remains intact, the
stainless steel will remain intact.
However, if the film is damaged, the
stainless steel can break down and rust.

PREVENTIVE CARE:
To prevent stainless steel break­down, follow these steps:

1. Never use any metal tools,
scrapers, files, wire brushes,
or scouring pads (except for

stainless steel scouring pads,)

which will mar the surface.

2. Never use steel wool – which
will leave behind particles that will
rust.

3. Never use acid-based or

chloride containing cleaning
solutions – which will break

down the protective film.

4. Never rub in a circular motion.
Always rub gently in the direction
of the steel grain.

5. Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many
foods are acidic. Salt contains
chloride.

F-47102 (02-14) CBFT SERIES

PRESERVING & RESTORING:

Special stainless steel polishing
cleaners can preserve and restore the
protective film.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a
regular application of a high-quality
stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a
final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore
the stainless steel surface. First,
thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the
surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a
high-quality stainless steel polish
according to manufacturer’s instructions.

MAINTENANCE

The cabinet and its
parts are HOT. Be very careful
when operating, cleaning, or
servicing the cabinet.

Always unplug
electrical power supply before
servicing the cabinet.

HEAT TINT:

Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” may
appear on stainless steel exposed to
excessive heat. Excessive heat causes
the protective film to thicken. This is
unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent
damage.

To remove heat tint, follow the routine
cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint
will require heavy-duty cleaning.

Beyond periodic inspections, checking
for frayed or damaged power cord, plug,
hinges, racks, and overall cabinet body,
there is little maintenance required. The
caster axles, however, should be kept
free of foreign objects such as mop
strings, plastic, etc. Depending on the
handling of the cabinet, the casters
should be greased at least quarterly. If
harsh detergents are used, more
frequent greasing will be required.

LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURE

Always perform the LOCKOUT / TAGOUT Procedure of your facility

before attempting to service this equipment.

The Lockout / Tagout Procedure is used to protect personnel working on an electrical
appliance. Before performing any type of maintenance or service on an electrically
operated appliance, follow these steps:

1. In electrical box, place unit’s circuit breaker into OFF position.

2. Place a lock or other device on electrical box cover to prevent someone from
placing circuit breaker ON.

3. Place a tag on electrical box cover to indicate that unit has been disconnected for
service and power should not be restored until tag is removed by maintenance
personnel.

4. Disconnect unit power cord from electrical outlet.

5. Place a tag on cord to indicate that unit has been disconnected for service and

power should not be restored until tag is removed by maintenance personnel
