MANUAL FOR INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of the Winston CVap®cook & hold, from the
manufacturer that developed the Science of Food Thermoisturization. CVap
(Controlled Vapor) technology, arising from that science, is the fundamental principle
on which the CVap cook & hold is based!
The benefits you will experience are precision doneness temperatures, greater
yields, safer foods, reduced human disciplines to manage high food quality - to
name a few. Five years in development; this appliance combines the science of
thermalizing and moisturizing of foods with a microprocessor control that has
embedded in it the knowledge of the skilled chef, and the requirements of FDA
regulations relative to food safety.
The operating section is all that you need to understand in order to prepare foods to
the precise doneness temperature and degree of browning you desire. After only
three inputs, the microprocessor takes charge of the dual heat system – to process
the High Yield cook cycle, the FDA Hold cycle, then the Serve and Sell cycle.
We want you to be as proud of your purchase as we are of the design of the CVap
cook & hold. If you have any question, comments or criticisms, please call our
Customer Service Center at 1-800-234-5286. If you would like to communicate with
me by Email, my address is Winston@Winstonind.com.
Thank you for your business.
Dr.Winston L. Shelton (Hon.)

Read and understand this entire use and care manual before operating your
CVap®cook & hold.
WARNING:
Operating this appliance can be dangerous.
Read, understand, and obey the following warnings. If you do not you could be
burned, badly hurt, or killed!
• Have appliance installed and serviced ONLY by a licensed electrician or trained
servicer. Installation and service of appliance involves electrical and high
temperature hazards which can cause death, personal injury or property
damage.
• If an electrical shock is felt when touching appliance, disconnect power cord
immediately and call a trained servicer for repair. If you don't, you could
be electrocuted!
• Always turn power switch off any time appliance is not in use. If you don't,
electric shock can cause death, personal injury or property damage.
• Always perform daily cleaning procedures for this appliance. Build up of food
residues high in acid or chlorides can cause permanent damage to the stain-
less steel and can contaminate foods!
• Always allow appliance to cool before cleaning. If you don't, you could be
badly burned!
CAUTION: Clean evaporator daily to prevent chlorides (salts) from accumulating,
causing the evaporator tank to corrode to the extent that leaks will occur. Experience
has shown that leaks will occur only through failure to clean and rinse the evaporator
daily. LEAKING EVAPORATORS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

SHIPPING DAMAGE
All equipment should be thoroughly examined for shipping damage before, during
and after unloading. It has been carefully inspected at our factory and the carrier
has assumed responsibility for its safe arrival. If the equipment is damaged,
either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made to the carrier.
APPARENT LOSS OR DAMAGE
If there is any obvious loss or damage, it must be noted on the freight bill or express
receipt and signed by the carrier’s agent;otherwise, the carrier may refuse the
claim. The carrier will supply the necessary forms.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
When loss or damage is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated, a claim
for concealed damage must be made. Upon discovering damage, make a request
in writing to the carrier for inspection within 15 days, and retain all packing. 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
The evaporator of this appliance must be filled each day and during use from a
potable water supply. In that regard, an automatic fill system is provided that is to
be connected to a potable water supply. Hardware is included with each unit to
allow connection to a copper line.
NOTE: When installing the automatic water fill plumbing, make sure to remove the
plastic plug from the water inlet connector before hooking up the water line.
If plastic or galvanized piping is encountered, a licensed plumber should be called
to make the installation. This equipment is to be installed to comply with the
applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
As water evaporates from the dual heat surface of the evaporator, any minerals in
the water will deposit on those surfaces. Consequently, the mineral deposits on the
surfaces inhibit the ability to transfer heat through the deposits, and the stainless
steel on which they are deposited can be degraded and destroyed. The first
protection against this is the daily cleaning procedure. It is also recommended that
your supplier of potable water be contacted for advice to minimize mineral deposit
build-up.

To remove the plastic tubing from the water line connector, using your fingers,
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”) and the
tubing cannot be removed. See drawing below.
If an Auto Water Fill System is supplied with (or added to) this appliance, then it
must be hooked up to a potable water supply line. Winston RECOMMENDS that the
tap valve included with the kit be attached to a cold water, copper, brass or steel
line (the valve can handle any size line from 3/8" to 1").The maximum incoming
water temperature may not exceed 140°F (60°C) and the incoming water
pressure must be between 20 and 150 psi. CAUTION: Appliances with auto
water fill systems MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN DRY. Heat damage to the
water valve may result.
Regardless of whether the evaporator is filled with water manually or
automatically, as water evaporates from the dual heat surface of the evaporator,
any minerals in the water will deposit on those surfaces. Consequently, the mineral
deposits on the surfaces inhibit the ability to transfer heat through the deposits, and
the stainless steel on which they are deposited can be degraded and destroyed.The
first protection against this is the daily cleaning procedure. It is also recommended
that your supplier of potable water be contacted for advice to minimize mineral
deposit build-up.Experience has shown that leaks will occur only through failure to
clean and rinse the evaporator daily. LEAKING EVAPORATORS ARE NOT COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY. This appliance is to be installed to comply with the
applicable federal, state, or local plumbing codes.

models of Winston’s CVap®cook & hold.
VENTING AND VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
Ventilation clearances - Allow space around appliance for good air circulation.
Installation of this appliance requires that a minimum 2” clearance from any
obstruction or combustible material be maintained at all locations where there are
ventilation holes in the appliance. The appliance must be installed with its supplied
legs, feet, or casters. Countertop appliances specifically supplied without legs or
casters may be set directly upon a countertop of non-combustible material. In this
situation, the appliance may have to be sealed to the countertop 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
the instructions above.
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
requirements specific to your location.
