II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

A. ELECTRIC HEATING SYSTEM

 

  Your cabinet is designed to MAINTAIN the 

temperature of HOT prepared foods. The 

module is equipped with a thermostatically 

controlled heater and a blower for air 

circulation. A POWER switch is provided along 

with a red light to indicate when the unit is 

switched ON. Next to the POWER switch is the 

TEMPERATURE control.

 

  A short, grounded, module power supply cord is 

supplied fixed to the module. This power supply 

cord must be unplugged from the cabinet power 

supply cord as the module is removed from the 

cabinet. The cabinet power supply cord is fixed 

to the underside of the cabinet. Likewise, when 

installing the module into a cabinet, the module 

power supply cord must be plugged into the 

cabinet power supply cord.

 

  1. Refer to the data plate located near the 

power cord for the electrical specifications of 

cabinet. With the power switch off, plug the 

cord into the appropriate rated, grounded 

receptable. Cabinets rated at 120V 20 

amp must be plugged into a 125VAC 20 

amp receptacle and must be used on an 

individual branch circuit. Cabinets rated at 

120V 15 amp may be plugged into either a 

15 amp or 20 amp receptacle.

 

    Cabinets rated at 220V 1650W must be 

plugged into a 250VAC 15 amp receptacle.

 

    NOTE: 

A 15 amp cabinet can be plugged 

into 20 amp service. A 20 amp unit must be 

plugged into a 20 amp receptacle.

 

  2. Snap POWER switch to ON. The red POWER 

light will now glow and the blower will begin 

circulating air. Note: This is not a foot switch. 

Operating it with your foot can damage the 

switch and make the cabinet inoperable.

 

  . Turn the TEMPERATURE thermostat to a setting 

of 10. The holding unit is now in operation.

 

  4. After allowing the cabinet to PREHEAT 

FOR APPROXIMATELY 45/60 MINUTES, 

reduce the thermostat setting to 6/8. In a 

room of average temperature (72°F) this 

should provide 150° to 170°F (65°-76°C). 

Adjustments to the temperature may be 

made as necessary.

 

    THIS IS A HOT FOOD HOLDING 

CABINET AND IS NOT INTENDED TO 

RETHERMALIZE COLD FOOD. MAKE 

SURE FOOD AND CABINETS ARE AT 

PROPER TEMPERATURES BEFORE 

PLACING FOOD IN THE CABINET.

 

 

  NOTE:

 The POWER (red) light will glow 

as soon as the POWER switch is switched 

ON and will continue to glow until switched 

OFF. The blower will operate as long as the 

POWER switch is ON.

 

    It is not necessary at the end of the operating 

day to disrupt the TEMPERATURE setting in 

order to turn the unit OFF. By switching the 

POWER switch to OFF, the unit is no longer 

operating. By switching the POWER switch to 

ON when resuming operations, the cabinet 

will attain the preset level (or it can be 

preheated at a setting of 10 before adjusting 

to the desired temperature).

 

B. CANNED FUEL SYSTEM (Optional)

 

  The Canned Fuel system does not require 

the electric heating module to be turned on 

for operation. Each bottom-mounted drawer 

holds 2 cans of fuel. Lift slightly and pull the 

drawer out until it stops or lift the drawer front 

and remove it from the cabinet. Place a fuel 

can into each round cutout and light the fuel. 

Close the drawer. 

 

 

NOTE: 

Filling each canned fuel drawer with 

2 cans of fuel will heat the unit to 200°F in 

approximately 45 minutes. In order to maintain 

a desired temperature, some of the canned 

fuel cans may need to be extinguished.

 

  Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for canned 

fuel usage.
