GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREHEAT CABINET BEFORE LOADING HOT FOOD
1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED
POWER RECEPTACLE. Press ON/OFF icon. The power
indicating light will come on and remain on until ON/OFF
icon is pressed again, or the unit is unplugged.
2) SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. For most
foods, a holding temperature of 150° - 160°F should
be adequate.
3) FOR BEST RESULTS, PRE-HEAT CABINET
FOR AT LEAST 30* MINUTES, HEATING UP
THE INTERIOR STAINLESS STEEL WALLS.
When the cycling light goes off, the cabinet “air” has
reached the temperature which you selected in step 2.
By pre-heating cabinet at least 30*minutes, even after
the cycling light has gone off, you are heating up the
stainless steel wall interior.This retains cabinet heat
for faster recovery times.
By thoroughly pre-heating the unit before each use,
you heat up the interior stainless steel and obtain
the best holding results from your cabinet.
*Preheat longer for double-door banquet cabinets.
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.
Load cabinet with your HOT foods.

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.
