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 Cold To Hot Operation
No special procedure is required to switch from the cold to
hot operation. Be certain to fill with a minimum of 4.0” of
water.
Note
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 is not normal. Call for service if this happens.
The unit must be turned off when not in use or overnight
for defrosting and cleaning.
N8600P Immersion Heater High Limit
As a safety feature, the N8600P 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.
N8700-D, N8700N, N8700-R & N8800 Series
Operation
These units are designed to hold warm food product
between 140ºF to 160ºF (60ºC to 71ºC).
N8700-D, N8700N and N8700-R series individually heated
hot food units may be operated wet (with water in the
wells) or dry. Wet operation is recommended for better
performance.
N8800 Series single tank hot food units are designed to be
operated wet (with water in the tank) only.
Note
Proper water level is approximately 2.0” (5.1cm). It must
be maintained to prevent damage to the tank on the
N8800 Series units.
After the unit is hard wired to the electrical system, select
desired temperature by rotating temperature control. A
knob and indicator light are provided for each individual
heated food well.
First Time Use
Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the
temperature knob to HI and heat the well for 20 to 30
minutes.
Any residue or dust that adhered to the heater element(s)
will be burned off during this initial preheat period.
When serving thick sauces always use the hot food well in
wet operation. This provides more uniform temperature for
the sauce.
Note
Never place food directly in well. Always use pans.
For most efficient operation, keep covered inserts in each
well during preheating or when empty.
Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent
food from drying out.
