NOTE: The installation instructions are similar for all the heaters.
A. All models are equipped with a self-leveling mechanism that is removable through the
top of the unit so that adjustments can be made to the tension springs. By adding or
rmoving springs, the proper dispensing height can be obtained. Refer to the table on page
7 to adjust the DH07 or DH08 to dispense either 9" china or Alacite® dishes. (The heaters are
factory preset for china dispensing) Adjustments should be done as part of the initial equipment
set-up or when a change of dinnerware occurs.

IV. ELECTRICAL
Refer to the specications data on page 4, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical
Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the cor-
rect voltage and amperage must be available for connection of the line cord. All dish heaters are
provided with a NEMA plug type 6-20P.
B. If you are dispensing Alacite® dishes a spring adjustment will be required, proceed as
follows. Lift elevating mechanism assembly up and out of stainless steel cabinet. Set it on
the oor. Disconnect but do not remove any unnecessary springs from the elevator carrier
and replace mechanism back into the heater. (See chart on page 7 for correct spring
arrangement.)

! WA R N I NG !
Every heater is tted with a grounded power cord and must be connected to a properly
grounded receptacle. Each receptacle must be wired to a dedicated circuit breaker rated at
not more than 20 amps.
! WA R N I NG !
To prevent electrical shock hazard, the main power switch must be turned to "off " position and
the heater disconnected from the power source whenever performing service or maintenance.

A. OVERVIEW
These units are designed to heat china or Alacite® plates. Once the unit is turned on, the fan motor, heater
and power indicator light will come on. There is a power indicator light to let the operator know the power is
on. The fan motor will begin to circulate the heated air in and around the plates in a convection process that
promotes a quick and even heat absorption by the dinnerware.
Once the air inside the cabinet has reached the desired and preset temperature, the thermostat will continue
to maintain this temperature by regulating the power to the heater. The fan motor will run as long as the unit
is energized.
B. LOADING
Load carrier tray by carefully stacking the dishes in each cavity. Always keep the load leveled on the carrier
or it may bind. Never try to exceed the recommended dish capacities that are shown in the chart below. The
fan motor will begin to circulate the heated air in and around the plates in a convection process that promotes
a quick and even heat absorption by the dinnerware.

VI. CLEANING
C. POWER
Set the power switch to the "ON" position. The power switch will light up when the unit is on.
Keep the cover closed completely to insure proper and efcient heating.
Depending on the stack size, and dish material, the heating time will vary. The heater should
alays be turned on 60 to 90 minutes before dispensing. Generally, china dishes will heat
quicker than Alacite®.
D. DISPENSING
After the unit is turned off or unplugged, the dishes remaining inside the unit will remain hot for some time.
Leave the lid open to allow the unit and its contents to cool.
E. ADJUSTING THE THERMOSTAT
All models are shipped with a factory preset of 190˚F ( Max setting 220˚F). The thermostat can be adjusted, by
dial control located behind the rear panel, to adjust
1. Unplug the unit
2. Remove the rear cover
2. Adjust thermostat dial to the desired setting
3. Replace the rear cover
4. Plug unit back in to an outlet
The following procedures should be followed during the regular cleaning regimen on all of the dish heaters.
1. Turn the unit off and disconnect the plug from the outlet, and allow the cabinet to cool.
Remove plug by pulling it straight out. Never pull on the cord.
2. Pull the elevator mechanism up and out, place it on a work surface.
You can now wipe down the mechanism with a damp cloth to clean it.
3. Clean out any debris inside the cabinet and wipe the cabinet down with a damp cloth.
4. Place the elevator mechanisms back inside the cabinet and clean the outside of the cabinet with
a mild, non-abrasive soap or detergent in a warm water solution. A commercial stainless steel
cleaner can also be used for this procedure.
5. After the heater has been thoroughly cleaned and dried with a soft cloth the plug can be replaced.
NOTE: Do not use abrasives, harsh chemicals, or chlorine products for cleaning.

2. Maintain casters free of debris. (mop strings, paper plastic, hair nets, etc.)
3. Clean or replace as required.
4. Replace caster when rubber tread is less than ¼" from rim.
CORD & PLUG
1. Inspect plug blades for distortion and replace if any blades are missing, bent or broken.
2. Inspect cord wiring for integrity at termination points by having qualied service person remove the
back panel from cabinet. Make sure the cord sheathing extends into the cabinet interior. If wires
are showing on the outside of the cabinet, remove the unit from use and have repairs made before
turning on power to the unit.
DISPENSING MECHANISM
1. Periodically check springs for proper dishware dispensing by lling each cavity with dishware and
checking to see that it indexes as dishes are removed. If dishes do not index properly, and unit is
