Please read this entire use & care manual
before operating your CVap® cook & hold
oven. The manual contains important safety
information and operating instructions.
As is the case with most cooking
appliances, your CVap oven should be used
with caution. Please read the following
warnings to avoid potential injuries.
Electrical Hazard
Can cause serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to install or service this appliance unless you are a licensed electrician or trained servicer.
1. Because this appliance utilizes high
voltage, it should only be installed and
serviced by a licensed electrician or
trained servicer. Attempting to install or
service the appliance yourself could result
in serious, potentially fatal injuries.
2. If an electrical shock is felt when touching
appliance, shut off power immediately (pull
cord or turn off circuit breaker) and call a
trained servicer for repair. Failure to do so
could result in serious, potentially fatal
injuries.
doors or reaching into the appliance, as
heated vapor can quickly cause burns.
Contamination Hazard
Can cause serious illness or damage to
appliance.
Clean appliance daily to avoid potential contamination
hazard.
5. Clean appliance daily to prevent buildup of
food residue or chlorides, which can
damage stainless steel and contaminate
food. Failure to follow proper cleaning
procedures can void your warranty.
6. Prior to using appliance for the first
time, perform the daily cleaning
procedure found on pages 22 and 23.
Burn Hazard
Can cause injury.
Allow 30 minutes for appliance to cool before
attempting to clean.
7. Always allow appliance to cool before
cleaning.
3. Always turn power switch off any time
appliance is not in use.
Burn Hazard
Can cause serious injury.
Avoid heated vapor when opening or closing
appliance door.
4. This appliance utilizes heated water vapor,
which transfers heat much more quickly
and efficiently than dry air of the same
temperature. Use caution when opening
Models CAC503, CAC507, CAC509 & CAC522

High Temperature and Grease Hazard
Can cause damage to appliance.
Avoid placing appliance near high heat or in grease
laden atmosphere.
Do not place appliance in an area where air
temperatures exceed 100˚F (38˚C). A heat
shield may be required to prevent heat
exposure and grease laden vapors from
affecting the appliance if adjacent to heat,
vapor, or grease generating devices (such as
grills, steamers, ovens, etc.). Excess heat and
grease inside the appliance cavities may cause
electrical components to fail.

Shipping Damage
Examine equipment thoroughly for shipping
damage before, during and after unloading.
All Winston products are carefully inspected
and verified to be in good condition before
leaving our factory. The carrier delivering
your oven has assumed responsibility for its
safe arrival. If you notice any damage
(obvious or hidden), a claim must be made to
the carrier.
Obvious Loss or Damage
Please note any obvious loss or damage on
the freight bill or express receipt, and have
the carrier’s agent sign to acknowledge the
claim. The carrier will supply the necessary
forms. If you do not obtain and complete the
forms before the carrier's agent departs, the
carrier might refuse your damage claim.
writing to notify them of the damage. The
carrier should agree to inspect the damage
within 15 days. Please retain all packing
materials. The carrier will supply an
inspection report and the required claim
forms.
Physical
Casters are non-marking; back casters are
non-locking, front are locking.
Water Supply
In order to operate properly, the evaporator in
this oven must be filled with clean, potable
water. Hardware is included to connect the
oven to a copper line in your facility's water
system. If your facility has plastic or
galvanized pipes, contact a licensed plumber
to connect the water supply. Equipment
should be installed to comply with applicable
federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
Concealed Loss or Damage
Sometimes loss or damage is not obvious
until the product has been unpacked. If you
notice damage that was concealed by

As water evaporates, any minerals in the
water will deposit on the surface of the
evaporator. These mineral deposits will inhibit
the transfer of heat. Deposits can also
degrade and damage stainless steel. The
best way to avoid mineral deposits is to clean
the appliance daily. It is also advisable to
contact your water utility for advice on
minimizing deposit buildup.
installing auto water fill
To remove the plastic tubing from the water
line connector, use your fingers to carefully
press the small brass capture ring in toward
the body of the connector. Then gently pull
the tubing out of the connector. To insert
tubing back into connector, push the tubing
fully into the connector. Once seated, try to
pull the tubing out of the connector so that
the capture ring comes out (about 1/16”
(1.6mm)) and the tubing cannot be removed.
See drawing below. Auto Water Fill Systems
must be hooked up to a potable water supply
line. Winston RECOMMENDS that the tap
valve included with the kit be attached to cold
water, copper, brass or steel line (the valve
can handle any size line from 3/8" to 1"
(9.5mm to 25.4mm)). The maximum
incoming water temperature may not
exceed 140˚F (60˚C) and the incoming
water pressure must be between 20 and
150 psi (1.4 Kgf/cm2 to 10.5 Kgf/cm2
(kilogram-force per sq. centimeter)).
High Temperature Hazard
Can cause damage to appliance.
Fill evaporator with water prior to turning power on,
and do not allow evaporator to run dry.
CAUTION: Appliances with auto water fill
systems MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO
RUN DRY. Heat damage to the water valve
may result.
It is the responsibility of the owner and
installer to make sure that installation
complies with all applicable local and state
plumbing codes.

ventilation requirements
Ventilation clearances - To operate properly,
the cook & hold oven will need sufficient
space for air circulation. Allow at least 2"
(51mm) clearance on all sides of the oven,
particularly around ventilation holes. Care
should be taken to prevent placing the oven
close to anything combustible. It must be
installed with its supplied legs, feet, or
casters. Counter top appliances specifically
supplied without legs or casters may be set
directly upon a counter top of noncombustible material. In this situation, the
appliance may have to be sealed to the
counter top with a food-grade silicone sealant
(check local health codes). Half size
appliances may be stacked upon each other
using only a Winston supplied stacking kit
and following the instructions enclosed with
the kit. Your warranty may be void if you do
not adhere to these ventilation requirements.
High Temperature and Grease Hazard
Can cause damage to appliance.
Avoid placing appliance near high heat or in grease
laden atmosphere.
Do not place appliance in an area where air
temperatures around the appliance exceed
100°F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required
to prevent excessive heat exposure and
grease laden vapors from affecting the
appliance if adjacent to heat, vapor, or grease
generating devices (such as grills, steamers,
ovens, etc.). Excess heat and grease inside
the appliance cavities may cause electrical
components to fail.
Vent hood - Generally this appliance does not
need to be installed under a mechanical
ventilation system (vent hood). Check local
health and fire codes for specific requirements.
