WARNINGS AND INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

As is the case with most cooking equipment, your
CVap holding cabinet should be used with caution.
Please read the following warnings to avoid potential
injuries.

___________________________________________

_______________________________________________

!

WARNING:WARNING: Burn Hazard

Can cause serious injury >> Avoid heated vapor when opening

or closing cabinet door.

___________________________________________

This equipment utilizes heated water vapor, which
transfers heat much more quickly and efficiently than dry
air of the same temperature. Use caution when opening
doors or reaching into the equipment, as heated vapor
can quickly cause burns.

___________________________________________

!

WARNING:WARNING: Contamination

Hazard

Can cause serious illness or damage to equipment >>

Clean equipment daily to avoid potential contamination hazard.

___________________________________________

Clean equipment daily to prevent buildup of food
residue or chlorides, which can also damage stainless
steel and contaminate food. Failure to follow proper
cleaning procedures can void your warranty.

Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the
daily cleaning procedure listed on pages 6-7.

___________________________________________

!

DANGER:DANGER: Electrical Hazard

Can cause serious injury or death >> Do not attempt to

service this equipment unless you are a licensed electrician or trained
servicer.

___________________________________________

Because this equipment utilizes high voltage, it should
only be installed and serviced by a licensed electrician or
trained servicer. Attempting to install or service the
equipment yourself could result in serious, potentially
fatal injuries.

If an electrical shock is felt when touching equipment,
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.

!

CAUTION:CAUTION: Electrical Hazard

Can cause injury >> Do not connect equipment to an

external switching device.

___________________________________________

In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of
the thermal cutout, this equipment must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and
off by the utility.

___________________________________________

!

CAUTION:CAUTION: Burn Hazard

Can cause injury >> Allow 30 minutes for equipment to cool

before attempting to clean.

___________________________________________

Always turn power switch off any time equipment is not
in use.

WARNING:WARNING: Safety Hazard,

Intended Use

Can cause serious injury or damage to equipment >>
Supervise untrained, young, or handicapped persons.

_______________________________________________

1. This equipment is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a
person responsible for their safety.

2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the equipment.

3. This equipment is intended to be used for commercial
applications, for example in kitchens of restaurants,
canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises
such as bakeries, butcheries, etc., but not for
continuous mass production of food.

For locations with hard water, add one tablespoon
(15ml) of white vinegar or lemon juice to water to help
minimize scale buildup. Please consider contacting your
local water authority to obtain advice on possible water
treatment to protect the equipment. Some water
supplies are high enough in chemical content to be
capable of damaging stainless steel (if used untreated).
The evaporation process can concentrate the chemicals
in the water to a level which could cause a damaging
reaction with the stainless steel.

INSTALLING AUTO WATER FILL

Insert tubing and push fully into the connector.
(Reference drawing on this page.) 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.

Prior to connecting a newly installed water line to the
auto water fill connection, it is extremely important
to flush the water line of any debris. Debris in the
water line will cause damage to the water solenoid
and would not be covered under warranty.

___________________________________________

!

CAUTION:CAUTION: High Temperature &

Grease Hazard Can cause damage to equipment

>> Avoid placing equipment near high heat or in grease-laden

atmosphere.

___________________________________________

Do not place equipment in areas where air temperature
exceeds 100˚F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required to
prevent heat exposure and grease-laden vapors from
affecting the equipment if near heat, vapor, or grease
generating devices (such as grills, steamers, ovens, etc.).
Excess heat and grease inside the equipment cavities
may cause electrical components to fail.

WATER FILL PROCEDURE

Water Supply

In order to operate properly, the evaporator in this
cabinet must be filled with clean, potable water. 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 equipment daily. It
is also advisable to contact your water utility for advice
on minimizing deposit buildup.

TUBING

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)).

CAUTION:CAUTION: High Temperature

Hazard Can cause damage to equipment >>

Fill evaporator with water prior to turning power on, and do not
allow evaporator to run dry.

___________________________________________

CAUTION: Equipment 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.
