U N PA C K I N G a n d S E T- U P
The Alto-Shaam Hot Display Case has
been thoroughly tested, checked for
calibration, and inspected to insure only
the highest quality unit is provided. When
you receive your display case, check for
any possible shipping damage and report it at once to the
delivering carrier.
See Transportation Damage and Claims section located
in this manual .
In order to maintain established National Sanitation
Foundation standards, all floor models must be sealed to the
floor with a R.T.V. or silastic meeting N.S.F. requirements or
have 6" (152mm) unobstructed clearance beneath the unit.
Counter and table units must be mounted on legs of a
sufficient 4" (102mm) height to provide minimum
unobstructed space beneath the unit. These legs are
supplied with the unit. Warranty will become null and void
if these directions are not followed.
Save all the information and instructions packed inside
the display case. Complete and return the warranty card to
the factory as soon as possible to assure prompt service in
the event of a warranty parts and labor claim.
NOTE: Any and all claims for warranty must include the full model
and serial number of the display case.
E L E C T R I C A L I N S TA L L AT I O N
1. An identification tag is permanently mounted on the case.
2. Plug the case into a properly grounded receptacle ONLY. A
proper receptacle or outlet configuration or permanent
wiring for this unit must be installed by a licensed
electrician in accordance with applicable, local electrical
codes. Arcing will occur when connecting or
disconnecting the display case unless all controls are in
the OFF position.
3. REGARDING INTERNATIONAL STANDARD UNITS:
If the unit is not equipped with flexible cord with plug,
an all-pole country approved disconnection device
which has a contact separation of at least 3mm in all
poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring for
disconnection. When using a cord without a plug, the
green/yellow conductor shall be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the ground symbol. If a
plug is used, the socket outlet must be easily accessible.
If the power cord needs replacement, use a similar one
obtained from the distributor.
1.
DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE DISPLAY CASE
Halo Heat display cases maintain a constant but gentle
temperature and eliminate much of the moisture loss
associated with conventional display cases. Because of
this gentle heat, it is not necessary to add water to the
unit. As a matter of fact,
adding water is not
recommended since water will accelerate the
deterioration of the product and may damage the unit.
2. PLACE DIVIDERS and SERVING PANS IN CASE
Refer to the pan layout diagrams for different types of
pan accommodations. A complete pan configuration
layout is located in this manual.
It is VERY important to
note, no matter what type of pan configuration you
choose, pan divider bars with the desired pans must be
in place prior to preheating the unit. If air gaps are not
closed, heat distribution will be uneven, and uniform
temperature will be difficult to maintain. Additional pan
divider bars are available if needed.
3.
TURN ON DISPLAY LIGHTS AND SET THE
THERMOSTAT(s) AT NUMBER “10” TO PREHEAT
It is recommended that the bulbs be warmed for a
minimum of 15 minutes before use. An indicator light
will illuminate when the thermostat(s) is (are) turned
“
ON. ” The indicator(s) will remain lit as long as the unit
is preheating or calling for heat. The unit should be
preheated, at the number
10 setting, for a minimum of
thirty minutes before loading the case with food. When
preheating is completed, or whenever the unit reaches
any temperature set by the operator between
1 and 10 ,
the indicator light(s) will go “ OUT ”.
4. LOAD HOT FOODS INTO THE CASE
Be certain only hot food is transferred into the case.
Before loading food into the case, use a pocket-type meat
thermometer to make certain all products have reached
an internal temperature of 140° to 160° F (60° to 71°C). If
any food product is not at proper serving temperature,
use a Halo Heat cooking and holding oven, set at 250° to
275°F (121° to 135°C), or use a Combitherm oven to bring
the product within the correct temperature range.
✔
Use hand protection when handling hot items.
✔
Be certain only hot PREPACKAGED foods in
appropriate heat tested containers are used in the self
service section of the display case.
✔
Do not stack food containers.
5.
LOAD HOT FOODS INTO THE CASE
After all product is loaded into the unit and the doors
are closed, reset the thermostat. For fully enclosed cases,
reset the thermostat to number 8. For self-service
sections, maintain the thermostat at number 9 or 10.
Cases with a self-service section should be set at number
9 or 10 for the self-service section only.
These settings will
not necessarily be final. Proper temperature range
depends on the type of products and the quantities being
held (140° to 160° F or 60° to 71°C), so it is necessary to
periodically use a pocket thermometer to check each
item to make certain the correct temperatures are being
maintained. Normally this will require a thermostat
setting between 6 and 8 in fully enclosed cases. Self-
service cases or sections will always require a higher
thermostat setting.
