"SPEEDEE-SERV" HOT CABINET
OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The Mobile Heated Self-Service Cabinet is designed to heat and hold prepackaged food at a
minimum of 160° Fahrenheit.
I.
START UP AND INSTALLATION
The
"Speedee-Serv"
Hot Cabinet is equipped with a 6’ 0” cord and cap (NEMA configuration 5-
30P). Cabinet requires a 120 volt 30 amp dedicated circuit, with a NEMA 5-30R receptacle. If the
cabinet is used in conjunction with other
"Speedee-Serv"
equipment, a connector is provided to
secure each cabinet together. Lock the brakes on the four casters to prevent the cabinet from moving.
II.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Food Storage
Model H5 is designed to accommodate twelve 4” or twenty 2” deep standard
"Speedee-Serv"
wire
baskets.
Note: Do not use liners in baskets or boxes to serve as this will restrict the airflow.
2. Heating Period
a.) With lids on, pre-heat cabinet by setting the controller to 225° for a period of forty-five minutes
prior to loading food. Due to many variables in food products, some adjustment may be required.
After preheating adjust to the desired temperature for heating food product. Load product, close the
lids and leave closed until the serving period.
b.) As an example such foods as grilled cheese, poor boys, pizza, etc. require heat times of
approximately one half-hour. Products such as hamburgers, hot dogs, burritos, etc. will require
longer heat times of approximately one hour prior to serving.
Caution: Do not over pack baskets.
Overfilled baskets will result in improper airflow, resulting in reduced heating efficiency.
3. Serving Period
a.) Immediately prior to serving, remove the sliding lids and store in either a lid storage cart or the
adjoining model D5 cabinet (if available).
Note: Replace lids after each serving period. Product
temperature will remain more constant when lids are in place.
b.) If the cabinet has been pre-heated properly, there should be no need to increase the cabinet
temperature during the serving period. The cabinet is designed to maintain food temperatures during
the serving period, with lids off for a short amount of time.
Caution: excessively increasing the
temperature during serving period will increase exterior cabinet temperature and may cause
cabinet failure.
