LOW TEMP ALARM OPERATION
Unit has a built in “Low Temp Alarm”, allowing the operator to have
an audible and a visual indicator that the heated cabinet
temperature falls below the "Low Temperature" set point for more
than six (6) minutes.
1) Adjust Set Point: Turn unit on and rotate knob to off position.
Then hold the "Low Temp Alarm" button for roughly six seconds until
the LTA is displayed on screen, release LTA button and adjust knob
to desired LTA setting. Once correct setting is displayed press the
LTA button to confirm. Unit will beep once LTA will be displayed then
the word "ON" then set LTA temperature. When the internal cabinet
temperature falls below the desired "Set Point" for more than six (6)
minutes, the audible and visual alarm will alert you to this condition.
2) Recall Set Point: Press "LOW TEMP ALARM" key.
Display shows LTA set point for three seconds then reverts to
normal display.
3) Acknowledge: Press any key to cancel beeping
For Every ten (10) seconds, the display will show LTA for one (1)
second until temperature increases above LTA set point.
Note: The Low Temp alarm will auto-reset once Oven Setpoint is
reached again. The idea is if the user has perhaps left the door
open, the LTA alarm sounds to remind them to close it, with the user
pressing either key to stop the beeping. Once the door is closed and
the oven temperature rises again to oven setpoint, the control
re-enables the LTA alarm in case the user fails to close the door
again.
4) Disable: Follow the adjustment steps above.
A rotation of the dial "down" below 90°F (32°C) turns the alarm
feature off.

FWE MOBILE HUMI-TEMP HEATED HOLDING CABINETS
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER
RECEPTACLE. Press the “ / ” rocker switch to the “ ” position.
2) ADD HOT WATER TO THE PAN.
Add hot water into the pan prior to heating the cabinet.
This will allow the heating system to condition cabinet and
add humidity.
NOTE: If Dry heat is desired (no humidity), simply drain the water out
of the pan.
It is not necessary to remove the pan to add water. Amount of water
required depends on start-up time, length of proofing and level of
humidity desired.
3) PRE-HEAT THE CABINET. Turn on the rocker switch to the “ ”
position. Adjust air temperature heat control dial to desired setting.
Allow approximately 15-30 minutes of pre-heat time. The door should
be kept tightly closed during this procedure to obtain the
optimum environment.
For most foods, a minimum holding temperature of 160°F (71°C)
should be adequate.
When the amber light goes off, the unit has reached the temperature
which you selected in step 3, and is ready to load with your HOT foods.
NOTE: The amber light goes on and off as the heating element cycles
on and off. Plates may be heated in the cabinet before dish-up, but this
will require extra pre-heat time.
5) LOAD THE CABINET with your product as quickly as possible. To
maintain the best conditions, the door should be tightly closed when not
loading the cabinet, and remain closed until serving.
AVOID PUTTING YOUR HOT FOODS INTO A COLD CABINET!
