FWE TOP MOUNT HEATED HOLDING CABINETS

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER

RECEPTACLE. If your unit has an illuminated switch, it will illuminate

when turned on.

2) SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. For most foods, a holding

temperature of 150°F - 160°F (65.6°C to 71°C) should be adequate.

The cycling light indicates the heating element is on.

3) PRE-HEAT CABINET FOR 20-30 MINUTES.

When the cycling light goes off, the unit has reached the temperature

which you selected. However, for best results, allow cabinet to fully

pre-heat for 20-30 minutes. Load with your HOT foods. Plates may be

heated in the cabinet before dish up, but this will require extra

pre-heating time.

Pre-heat times depend on the size of your cabinet. Adjust your pre-heat

time according to the size of your cabinet and the length of your

transport time.

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.

PREPARING THE CABINET BEFORE LOADING FOOD

LOAD HOT FOOD INTO A PRE-HEATED 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 - 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 the thermostat

will re-activate and automatically hold your pre-selected temperature.

CHANGING TEMPERATURE SCALE FROM ° F to °C

1. Turn knob to OFF and turn rocker switch " ".

2. Turn rocker switch " " while pressing the “TEMP RECALL”. Repeat to

toggle from °F to °C

OPTIONAL LOW TEMP ALARM

LOW TEMP ALARM OPERATION*

Unit has an optional “Low Temp Alarm” operation, 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 two (2) minutes.

1) Adjust Set Point: Press and hold “Low Temp Alarm” for six (6)

seconds. Rotate dial to desired set point between “ " and from

90°F (32°C) and 190°F (88°C). Display will beep and show "LTA"

for two (2) seconds release button to accept adjustment. When the

internal cabinet temperature falls below the desired "Set Point" for

more than two (2) 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.
