The Alto-Shaam Hot
Merchandiser has been
thoroughly tested, checked
for calibration, and inspected
to insure only the highest
quality cabinet is provided.
When you receive your unit, check for any possible
shipping damage and report it at once to the deliver-
ing carrier.
See Transportation Damage and Claims section located in
this manual.
The cabinet, complete with unattached items and
accessories, may be delivered in one or more packages.
Make certain the number of packages received matches
the packing list and the accompanying bill of lading.
Save all the information and instructions packed
inside the cabinet. Complete and return the warranty
card to the factory as soon as possible to insure
prompt service in the event of a warranty parts and
labor claim.
The unit should not be used in any area where it
may be affected by steam, grease, dripping water, or
high temperatures. The unit should be installed level
to work properly.
In order to maintain standards established by
the National Sanitation Foundation, models mounted
directly on top of an base or counter must be sealed to
both the base and floor, or counter, with a R.T.V. or
silastic meeting N.S.F. requirements. Otherwise,
these units must be mounted on legs of a sufficient
4" (102mm) height to provide minimum unobstructed
space beneath the unit. If these directions are not
followed, the warranty will become null and void.
(Refer to counter layout in this manual.)
NOTE: Any claims for warranty must include
the full model number and serial number
of the cabinet.

The merchandiser is equipped with a special, low-
heat-density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat
concept, the heating cable is mounted against the walls
of the warming compartment to provide an evenly
applied heat source, controlled by an electronic thermo-
stat. The design and operational characteristics of the
unit eliminate the need for a moisture pan or a heat cir-
culating fan. Through even heat application, the quali-
ty of food is maintained for short periods or for longer
time periods, up to several hours. The heated compart-
ment is equipped with an electronic thermostat, indica-
tor light, and digital display to monitor the interior air
temperature.
Read this manual thoroughly before using this mer-
chandiser, and keep this manual in a safe and easily
accessible area.
1. Before operating the merchandiser, clean the interior
and exterior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth and

4. After final hook-up, locate the circuit breaker box

merchandiser is functioning within the guidelines
