This appliance is intended for use in commercial
establishments where all operators are familiar
with the purpose, limitations, and associated
hazards of this appliance. Operating instructions
and warnings must be read and understood by all
operators and users.
1. M ke sure the unit is connected to the
ppropri te power source.
2. Use h nd protection when h ndling
hot items.
3. Prehe t the unit for 30 minutes before use.
4. Be cert in only hot foods re pl ced
into the unit.
BEFORE INITIAL USE:
Before operating the unit, clean both the interior
and exterior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth
and mild soap solution. Rinse carefully. Clean and
install the drawer warmer pan(s). The drawer
assembly is completely removable. Clean as a
sanitation measure.
HEATING CHARACTERISTICS
The drawer warmer is equipped with a special
heating cable. Through this Halo Heat concept,
the heating cable is mounted against the walls of the
unit to provide an evenly applied heat source
controlled by a thermostat. The design and
operational characteristics of the unit eliminate the
need for a moisture pan or a heat circulating fan.
Through even heat application, the quality of food
products is maintained up to several hours or more.
FOOD PRODUCT TIPS
Bread and Rolls
Breads and rolls are traditionally difficult to hold
for prolonged periods due to the very low
moisture content of these products. For best
results and longest possible holding life, it is
recommended these products be placed in a
plastic bag while in the warming drawer. Breads
and rolls should be held at a temperature no
higher than 120° to 140°F (49° to 60°C).
Potatoes
— for the best results when holding potatoes:
1. Do not overcook.
Regardless of the temperature at which potatoes
are cooked or what type of oven is used, it is
important that this product does not achieve a
final internal product temperature in excess of
195°F (91°C). Over-cooking will further reduce
the moisture content and consequently, reduce
the holding life. Potatoes should be removed
from the oven when they reach an internal
temperature of approximately 190°F (88°C).
After they are removed from the oven, the
internal temperature will continue to increase.
2. Allow potatoes to stabilize before placing
in drawer warmer.
When potatoes are removed from a conventional
high-temperature oven, they have an extremely
high surface temperature. If they are placed in
the drawer warmer while they are this hot on the
outside, moisture will be pulled from the inside of
the potato and condensation will form on the
outside. Holding results under these conditions
will not be totally satisfactory. Remove potatoes
from the oven and allow the surface temperature
to stabilize before placing them in the controlled
holding atmosphere of the drawer warmer.

at proper serving temperatures. Only hot food
should be placed into the warmer. Before
loading the unit with food, use a food
thermometer to make certain all food products
are at an internal temperature range of
140° to 160°F (60° to 71°C). All food not
within the proper temperature range should be
heated before putting into the drawer warmer.
4. Reset the thermostat to 160 F (71 C).
Check to make certain the drawer is
securely closed, and reset the thermostat to
160°F (71°C).
THIS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE

#818 Installation/Operation/Service Manual 11.
O P E R AT I O N
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service
personnel employ varied methods of cooking. Proper
holding temperatures for a specific food product must
be based on the moisture content of the product,
product density, volume, and proper serving
temperatures. Safe holding temperatures must also
be correlated with palatability in determining the length
of holding time for a specific product.
Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of product
moisture content without the addition of water, water
vapor, or steam. aintaining maximum natural product
moisture preserves the natural flavor of the product and
provides a more genuine taste. In addition to product
moisture retention, the gentle properties of Halo Heat
maintain a consistent temperature throughout the
cabinet without the necessity of a heat distribution fan,
thereby preventing further moisture loss due to
evaporation or dehydration.
When product is removed from a high temperature
cooking environment for immediate transfer into
equipment with the lower temperature required for hot
food holding, condensation can form on the outside of
the product and on the inside of plastic containers used
in self-service applications. Allowing the product to
release the initial steam and heat produced by high
temperature cooking can alleviate this condition. To
preserve the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods
however, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the
only time period allowed for the initial heat to be
released from the product.
ost Halo Heat holding equipment is provided with
a thermostat control between 60° and 200°F
(16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped with vents,
close the vents for moist holding and open the vents
for crisp holding.
If the unit is equipped with a thermostat indicating
a range of between 1 and 10, use a metal-stemmed
indicating thermometer to measure the internal
temperature of the product(s) being held. Adjust the
thermostat setting to achieve the best overall setting
based on internal product temperature.

PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is important to guard against corrosion in the
care of stainless steel surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,
or inappropriate chemicals can completely destroy
the protective surface layer of stainless steel.
Abrasive pads, steel wool, or metal implements will
abrade surfaces causing damage to this protective
coating and will eventually result in areas of
corrosion. Even water, particularly hard water that
contains high to moderate concentrations of
chloride, will cause oxidation and pitting that result
in rust and corrosion. In addition, many acidic
foods spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces
are contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and methods
are vital to maintaining the appearance and life of
this appliance. Spilled foods should be removed
and the area wiped as soon as possible but at the
very least, a minimum of once a day. Always
thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a cleaning
agent and wipe standing water as quickly as
possible after rinsing.
CLEANING AGENTS
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for use
on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be
chloride-free compounds and must not contain
quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces. Always use
the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer's
recommended strength. Contact your local cleaning
supplier for product recommendations.
CLEANING MATERIALS
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished
with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean
cloth. When more aggressive methods must be
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on
difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the
visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring
pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.

1. Disconnect unit from power source, and let cool.
2. Remove, cover or wrap, and refrigerate food.
3. Remove drawer pans and clean separately. The
drawer assembly is completely removable. Remove
from the cabinet and clean to prevent a build-up of
food residue from interfering with the function of
the drawer assembly. Regular cleaning will help
prolong the life of these parts.
4. Clean interior metal surfaces of the unit with a
damp, clean cloth and any good commercial
detergent or grease solvent at the recommended
strength. Use a plastic scouring pad or oven cleaner
for difficult areas. Rinse carefully to remove all
residue and wipe dry.
NOTE:Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning,
compounds, chloride based cleaners, or
cleaners containing quaternary salts. Never
use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on
stainless steel.
5. Wipe control panel, vents, handles, and gaskets
thoroughly since these areas harbor food debris.
6. Interior can be wiped with a sanitizing solution
after cleaning and rinsing. This solution must
be approved for use on stainless steel food
contact surfaces.
7. To help maintain the protective film coating on
polished stainless steel, clean the exterior of the
unit with a cleaner recommended for stainless steel
surfaces. Spray the cleaning agent on a cloth and
wipe with the grain of the stainless steel.
Always follow appropriate state or local health
(hygiene) regulations regarding all applicable cleaning
and sanitation requirements for foodservice equipment.

There is also an important, inseparable relationship
between cleanliness and food flavor. Cleanliness, top
operating efficiency, and appearance of equipment
contribute considerably to savory, appetizing foods.
Good equipment that is kept clean, works better and
lasts longer.
ost food imparts its own particular aroma and many
foods also absorb existing odors. Unfortunately, during
this absorption, there is no distinction between GOOD
and BAD odors. The majority of objectionable flavors
and odors troubling food service operations are caused
by bacteria growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness,
stale or other OFF flavors are usually the result of
germ activity.
The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor is
through comprehensive cleanliness. This means good
control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible soil
(germs). A thorough approach to sanitation will
provide essential cleanliness. It will assure an attractive
appearance of equipment, along with maximum
efficiency and utility. ore importantly, a good
sanitation program provides one of the key elements
in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.
A controlled holding environment for prepared foods
is just one of the important factors involved in the
prevention of food-borne illnesses. Temperature
monitoring and control during receiving, storage,
preparation, and the service of foods are of equal
importance.
The most accurate method of measuring safe
temperatures of both hot and cold foods is by internal
product temperature. A quality thermometer is an
effective tool for this purpose, and should be routinely
used on all products that require holding at a specific
temperature.
A comprehensive sanitation program should focus on
the training of staff in basic sanitation procedures.
This includes personal hygiene, proper handling of raw
foods, cooking to a safe internal product temperature,
and the routine monitoring of internal temperatures
from receiving through service.
ost food-borne illnesses can be prevented through
proper temperature control and a comprehensive
program of sanitation. Both these factors are important
to build quality service as the foundation of customer
satisfaction. Safe food handling practices to prevent
food-borne illness is of critical importance to the health
and safety of your customers. HACCP, an acronym for
Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control Points, is a quality
control program of operating procedures to assure food
integrity, quality, and safety. Taking steps necessary to
augment food safety practices are both cost effective
and relatively simple. While HACCP guidelines go far
beyond the scope of this manual, additional information
is available by contacting:

MANUAL CONTROL
THERMOSTAT and HEAT LIGHT SEQUENCE
Whenever the thermostat is turned “ON,” the heat indicator light will indicate the power ON/OFF condition of
the heating cable, and consequently, the cycling of the cabinet as it maintains the dialed cavity temperature. If
the light does not illuminate after normal start-up, the main power source, thermostat, and/or light must be
checked. If the warming cabinet does not hold the temperature as dialed, the calibration of the thermostat must
be checked. If the warmer fails to heat or heats continuously with the thermostat “OFF,” the thermostat must
be initially checked for proper operation. If these items are checked and found to be in order, a continuity and
resistance check of the heating cable should be made. SEE CIRCUIT DIAGRAM.
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION
The thermostat is precision calibrated at the factory. Normally, no adjustment or recalibration is necessary
unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit, changed or abused while in service. A thermostat with a
sensing bulb operates on hydraulic pressure, consequently, any bending of the bulb results in a change in its
volume, and alters the accuracy of the thermostat calibration.
A thermostat should be checked or recalibrated by placing a quality, thermal indicator at the center of an empty
holding cavity. DO NOT CALIBRATE WITH ANY FOOD PRODUCT IN THE CABINET. The thermostat
should be set at 140°F (60°C), and should be allowed to stabilize at that setting for a minimum of one hour.
Following temperature stabilization, the center of the thermal swing of the air temperature within the cabinet
should approximately coincide with the thermostat dial setting.
If calibration is necessary, the calibration screw should be adjusted with great care. The calibration screw of the
thermostat is located in the thermostat dial shaft. With the shaft held stationary, a minute, clockwise motion of
the calibration screw appreciably lowers the thermostat setting. A reverse, or counter-clockwise motion
appreciably raises the thermostat setting. After achieving the desired cycling of the thermostat, the calibration
screw must be sealed. Place a few drops of enamel sealant directly on the calibration screw.
