GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE CABINET BEFORE LOADING FOOD
6
PLUG CABINET INTO OUTLET, MAKING SURE THAT IT
IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER RECEPTACLE.
The red indicating light will come on and remain on until
the unit is unplugged.
FILL THE HUMIDIFIER PAN WITH HOT WATER. This
pan is located on the inside bottom of the unit, and pulls
out from the tunnel cover protecting the heating element.
The entire pan is removable for ease of cleaning and
filling. Fill this pan with HOT water prior to heating the
cabinet.This will allow the heating system to condition
and add humidity to the cabinet’s air and help prevent
your food from drying out and shrinking. NOTE: If dry
heat is desired (no humidity), simply drain the water
out of the pan.
SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. For most foods,
a holding temperature of 150°F - 160°F should be
adequate. By keeping the water pan filled and the
thermostat set at 150°F, a normal (40%) humidity
level will be achieved. PRESS POWER SWITCH TO
“ON” POSITION TO ACTIVATE HEAT.
PRE-HEAT CABINET FOR 15-30 MINUTES. 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. AVOID PUTTINGYOUR 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.

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.
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 amber 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.
CAUTION:
HOLDING FOOD AT
TEMPERATURES OF
LESS THAN 140°F
MAY BE DANGEROUS.
TEMPERATURES
UNDER 140°F
PROMOTE THE GROWTH
OF HARMFUL BACTERIA
