GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE CABINET BEFORE LOADING FOOD
1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
POWER RECEPTACLE. The red indicating light will
come on the main power switch.
2) SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. Please
refer to Dixell Quick Start on Page 7. For most foods,
a holding temperature of 150° - 160°F should
be adequate.
3) PRE-HEAT CABINET FOR 20-30 MINUTES.
Once the unit has reached the temperature which
you selected, load unit with your HOTfoods.
AVOID PUTTING YOUR HOT FOODS
INTO A COLD CABINET!
By pre-heating the unit 20-30 minutes before each use,
you can be assured of maintaining the temperature
and obtaining the best results from your cabinet.
4) LOAD THE CABINET. During the loading
procedure, keep the doors closed as much as
possible. After loading is completed, do not open
doors again until you are ready to serve.

5) TRANSPORTING HOT FOODS. Your cabinet is
equipped with a positive transportation latch to assure
safety during transportation. Before moving the cabinet,
keep it plugged in and wait until the cycling light goes
off. This recovery takes only a short time, and allows
the internal temperature to again reach the setting you
have selected. As soon as the cycling light goes off,
unplug the cabinet and wheel to serving area. Plug the
cabinet into an electrical outlet at the serving location
(if available), so that the thermostat will re-activate
and automatically hold your pre-selected temperature.

TEMPERATURES OF
LESS THAN 140°F
MAY BE DANGEROUS.
