Hot Operation
N8600 Series hot and cold combination pans must be operated
with water in the well for proper hot operation. Fill well with a
minimum of 4” (10.2cm) of water. Place function switch in
HOT
position to begin heating. Turn thermostat dial to the desired
temperature.
Never use anything other than plain water
in the wells or tank. Failure to observe this
warning may result in personal injury or
damage to the unit.
When operated at the highest temperature
setting, the top of the unit will become very
hot. Staff and customers using the equipment
should be informed about this.
To turn unit off, simply move the function switch to
OFF
position.
Drain water and allow unit to cool before cleaning or switching
to cold operation.
Cold Operation
Simply place the function switch to the
COLD
position. The
compressor controller has been factory set and no temperature
adjustment should be necessary. If the cold pan is to be used
with ice, it is recommended that the optional perforated bottoms
be used. These will allow ice to melt properly.
Switching From Hot To Cold Operation
Follow this procedure:
1. Place the function switch in the
OFF
position
and drain out hot water.
2. Allow the unit to cool until it can be safely
cleaned.
3. When clean up procedures are complete, unit
will be ready for cold operation. This takes
about one hour.
To assure maximum compressor life, do not
switch from “hot” to “cold” operation without
allowing a cool down period. Never switch from
hot to cold operation while hot water remains in
the pans. Failure to observe this warning will
greatly reduce compressor life and eventually
cause premature compressor failure.
Switching From Cold To Hot Operation
No special procedure is required to switch from the cold to hot
operation. Be certain to fill will with a minimum of 4” of water.
The unit is designed so that the compressor
and the heating elements cannot operate at
the same time. Continued operation of the
compressor in the “hot position” should not
be considered normal. Call for service if this
happens.
The unit must be turned off when not in use or overnight for
defrosting and cleaning.

Operation N8600 Hot/Cold Series
N8600 Immersion Heater High Limit
As a safety feature, the N8600 food well immersion heater
includes a high limit safety switch. If the heater gets too hot the
safety switch will trip and turn the heater off. A pilot light on the
control panel will illuminate when the safety switch is tripped. To
reset the safety switch, first turn OFF the thermostat or Power
switch and then determine if low water is the cause. If low water
is not the cause, contact service for resolution. If low water is
the cause, carefully remove food pans and refill the water. This
will allow the immersion heater to cool and the safety switch will
automatically reset. The unit must be turned OFF as directed
or safety switch will not reset even if water is refilled to proper
level. Replace food pans and turn thermostat or Power switch
back on.
