1. Before using, familiarize yourself with the heater controls.
2. Plug the heater into a proven power source. The white indicator lamp
and the fan will operate continuously whenever the heater is plugged in.
3. Turn the thermostat to 140° F (60° C) on the knob. Be sure the
cabinet door(s) are fully closed during the pre-heat time.
4. Food serving temperature will vary with the mass, type and quantities of
food served. Set the thermostat for the desired holding setting. Turn
clockwise to increase the temperature and counter clockwise to decrease
the temperature.
NOTE:
This unit is designed for HOLDING
hot foods. To insure best results, be
sure your food dishes and covers are
at or above the desired holding
temperature and the cabinet is
completely pre-heated.
5. During loading, the cabinet temperature will drop. Try not to move the
cart right away; wait 10-15 minutes until the cabinet recovers air
temperature.
6. Be sure to remove the plug from the outlet and wind the cord on the
cord bracket or push handle before moving the cart. Move the cart to the
service area as quickly as possible.
7. Upon reaching the serving area, unwind the power cord and reconnect
the heater as quickly as possible. Wait 5-10 minutes (check the
thermometer to see if the temperature is at the desired level). If not,
adjust the thermostat as required.
8. When removing items, start at the bottom and work to the top posi-
tion. This keeps food hotter and eliminates spillage on lower items.
A
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
(for P/N 18600-0015 only)
If additional heat range is required in the heating unit, unplug unit, remove
thermostat knob, insert small straight blade screwdriver into opening and
turn limit control set screw
counterclockwise
(not clockwise) one full turn.
Replace thermostat knob and turn clockwise to reach new maximum
temperature. Repeat this until desired temperature is reached. Each 1/4
turn of the calibration set screw will raise the element heating capacity by
approximately 25°F-35°F.
If a reduction of heat is desired, turn limit control set screw
clockwise
one
full turn. Hold the door open allowing unit to cool until inside temperature
is below the temperature desired. Close the door and allow unit to rise to
new maximum temperature. Repeat this until desired temperature is
reached.
B
THERMOMETER CALIBRATION
Place an oven thermometer in the center of the cabinet. Turn heater on; turn
thermostat to maximum setting and wait approximately 45 minutes. Open the
door and check inside thermometer temperature. If recalibration is required,
pry the plastic cover off the dial body and with a small flat blade screwdriver
insert into the pointer as shown. Carefully turn the pointer with your finger to
the correct setting. Be careful not to bend the pointer, it is very fragile.
