Advanced sensing technology maintains an ideal combination of temperature and humidity,
without complicated controls.

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

Data plate (Fig. 3) located on the back or side of cabinet. If the supply and equipment
requirements do not agree, do not proceed with unpacking and installation. Contact your
Vulcan-Hart Customer Service Department immediately.

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, take photos of the damage (including box), save
the packaging material, and contact the carrier within 5 days of delivery.

Carefully unpack and place in a work accessible area near the installation location.
