1. Preheat at 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes.
Press the ON key. The ON key will illuminate. Turn
the thermostat clockwise. The indicator light will
illuminate and will remain lit as long as the unit
is calling for heat. Allow a minimum of 30
minutes of preheating before loading the holding
cabinet with food. Closing the vents on the inside
of the door will speed up the process. The
indicator light will go OUT after approximately
30 minutes, or when the air temperature inside the
unit reaches the temperature set by the operator.
2. Load the cabinet with hot food only.
The purpose of the holding cabinet is to
maintain hot food at proper serving temperatures.
Only hot food should be placed into the cabinet.
Before loading the unit with food, use a food
thermometer to make certain all food products are
at an internal temperature range of 140° to 160°F
(60° to 71°C). All food not within the proper
temperature range should be heated before
loading into the holding cabinet.
3. Reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).
Check to make certain the cabinet door is securely
closed, and reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).
THIS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE
FINAL SETTING.
The proper temperature range for the food being
held will depend on the type and quantity of
product. Whether or not the door vents should
be open or closed will also depend on the type of
food being held. When holding food for
prolonged periods, it is advisable to periodically
check the internal temperature of each item to
assure maintenance of the proper temperature
range.
