Instructions for resetting Door Heaters
CauTIOn: electrical shock Hazard!
Before attempting to reset the hi-limit thermostat, unplug the heater power cord from the power source and from the heater.
WARNING!
Only use "non-metal" tools to depress the reset button.
Do not bypass or alter the thermostats in any way.
1. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet or power supply and remove the other end from the front of the heater.
2. Open the door and hold the heater firmly while you remove the 5 thumb screws with washers, holding the heater against the inner face of the door.
This may also be done after removing the door from the Cambro product or by having another person hold the heater for you.
3. Place the heater on a stable surface with the metal section facing down. Locate the small round hole in the cover with the word RESET next to the hole.
4. Using a small diameter, round, non-metal item such as a rigid plastic stir stick or wooden skewer stick, guide it through the hole and depress the
button on the hi-limit thermostat as seen in the figure below.
nOTe:
The Amber light will not be active when the high-limit thermostat has been tripped along with the loss of the heater element.
5. Remove the item you used to depress the button and re-attach the heater to the door with the screws and washers and tighten.
6. Plug the cord into the heater and then to the power source. Switch on the heater and verify it is heating up to the normal temperature.
NOTE:
Normal operation of the door heater is controlled by an automatic cycling "Control Thermostat." Failure of the control thermostat may cause the temperature inside the
compartment to rise to temperatures that could cause damage to the plastic.
A second, manually resettable "Hi-limit Thermostat," is built into the heater circuit. This device will shut off power to the heater in the event the temperature in the cabinet
reaches to 195˚F (90,6˚C). The heating unit will not return to normal operation until the reset button on the hi-limit thermostat is depressed. Other factors can cause the
hi-limit thermostat to shut off power, such as fan failure or placing food pans inside the compartment with temperatures higher than 190˚F (87,8˚C).
