WARNING
Read this manual carefully and completely, and retain it
for future reference. Failure to follow all safeguards and
instructions or failure to heed all warnings may result in
property damage and serious injury (including death).
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & WARNINGS
When using this electrical appliance, safety precautions must
always be followed and warnings must always be heeded:
23. CAUTION The Receiving Plate and lid of the appliance must
be properly installed and in place at all times during operation. Failure

U. When the bag is properly seated, cheese/chili sauce
will ow out of the dispenser when the push button
is depressed if the sauce has been heated to at least
120°F (48.9°C). Sauce should not be consumed until it
has been heated to at least 140°F (60°C).
NOTE: When the dispenser is working properly, cheese/chili
sauce at room temperature should take 90 – 120 minutes to
heat to the dispensing temperature of 140°F (60°C).
The LED temperature display on the inside of the
dispenser, on the lower-left side, should read between
140-145°F (which is 60-62.8°C). This number does
not reect the temperature of the sauce, however.
The rst time the dispenser is used and periodically
afterwards, verify the temperature of the sauce before
consuming (following instructions for CARE, CLEANING
& MAINTENANCE below).
TIP: In high-volume situations, you may preheat a second bag of sauce on top of
the rst bag when it is about 2/3 empty, but only if you follow these instructions:
(a) At alltimes fully complywith the IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & WARNINGS.
In particular, when working near warmed bags of sauce, warmed dispenser
parts, or the dispenser itself during the following steps, you must use
eective oven mitts and cover all exposed skin with heat-resistant materials.
(b) Before warming the second bag, follow steps #A-#P above for the second
bag, although because the Receiving Plate and Funnel are in use, wait to
sanitize, dry, and reinstall them.
(c) Then, to warm the second bag, UNPLUG the dispenser, remove its lid, and
carefully place the second bag of sauce on top of the rst bag. CAUTION: THE

Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
Follow along with our video: www.gehls.com/Dispenser-Set-Up.
Use Only Gehl’s 2.0
Sauces
The unique design of this dispenser will accept
only Gehl’s 2.0 60 oz cheese/chili sauces with the
patented disposable Valve (that works with the
dispenser’s patented tment).
Heat to at least 140°F
(60°C)
Gehl’s cheese/chili sauces are packaged
aseptically, thus they are commercially sterile,
shelf stable, and ready to eat. Heat the bag of
sauce from room temperature to at least 140°F
(60°C) in this dispenser before serving.
Maintain Heat or
Safely Refrigerate
Once a bag of cheese/chili sauce has been
opened, it must be continuously heated at no less
than 140°F (60°C) in the dispenser, or it must be
safely refrigerated.
Warm Continuously If leaving cheese/chili sauce in the dispenser, the
dispenser must remain plugged in and properly
operating continuously to maintain food safety.
Do Not Exheed
Hot Hold Times
Do not exheed hot holding times, which are:
• 5 days for cheese sauces
• 7 days for chili sauces
Date Bags to Track
Hold Times
Always write the date you are loading the cheese/
chili sauce into the dispenser on the front of the
bag with a permanent, soft-tipped marker to keep
track of holding times.
Preheat For At Least
90 – 120 Minutes
The preferred method for warming cheese/chili
sauces from room temperature is to heat the bag
inside the dispenser to 140°F (60°C). When the
dispenser is working properly, cheese/chili sauce
at room temperature should take 90 – 120 minutes
to heat to 140°F (60°C).

16
Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
Independently Verify
Temperature
Frequently verify the temperature of cheese/
chili sauce independently by: (1) removing the bag
from the dispenser (following the IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS & WARNINGS), (2) opening the
disposable Valve (with clean hands), and (3)
quickly inserting a sterilized thermometer into the
sauce while it remains in the bag. Gehl’s cheese/
chili sauces are designed to cool quickly outside
the bag so reading the temperature of the sauce
outside the bag will yield inaccurate results.
Refrigerate Sauce for
up to 5 Days
Opened bags of cheese/chili sauce may be
refrigerated if tightly sealed, safely cooled, and
safely refrigerated, for up to 5 days.
Use Cold Sauce Only
After Safely Warming
the Bag in a Hot-
Water Bath
Do not use refrigerated (or cold) cheese/chili
sauces in this dispenser without rst safely
heating the bag of sauce in a hot-water bath
(to 165°F (73.8°C) within two hours or hotter and
more quickly if required by your applicable laws
and regulations), ensuring that no water can
enter the Spout or Valve. This dispenser cannot
heat cold items hot enough or quickly enough to
maintain food safety.
Warm from
Refrigeration No More
Than Once
For best avor and consistency, do not heat sauce
from refrigeration more than once.
Store Sauce Bags
Below 90°F (32.2°C)
and Never Freeze
For best avor and consistency, unopened bags of
Gehl’s cheese/chili sauce should be stored in their
original box below 90°F (32.2°C), but never frozen.
Use Sauce within its
Shelf Life
Unopened bags of Gehl’s cheese/chili sauce that
have been properly stored typically have a shelf
life that is 15 months from the date of manufacture.
Check your bag of sauce for its best-by date, and
do not use sauce past its shelf life.

17
Care, Cleaning & Maintenance
CLEANING: Always unplug the dispenser prior to cleaning. Cleaning must
be performed between bags because no sauce bag should be allowed to
cool (unless safely refrigerated and safely reheated as described above). Be
sure to allow sucient time after cleaning for a new bag to heat properly
before consuming.
1. Keep all food-contact surfaces clean and dry at all times.
2. Keep the exterior of the dispenser, especially its push button and base,

Trouble Shooting
Sauce leaks inside the
dispenser.
The bag may have been punctured outside of the
Spout when installing the Valve into the Spout.
Look for small cuts in the bag where cheese/chili
is leaking out. Dispose of the bag if it is leaking
because it will not properly dispense and because
contaminants can more easily enter the bag
resulting in foodborne illness and other serious
injury (including death).
No sauce is owing
from the dispenser
Make sure that there is sauce in the bag.
Check to make sure the temperature reading
is at least 140°F (60°C). Independently verify the
temperature of the cheese/chili sauce to conrm
the dispenser is working properly as described
above. Sauce ows very slowly when it is cold.
UNPLUG the dispenser, and using eective oven
mitts, covering all exposed skin with heat-resistant
materials, and otherwise fully complying with the
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & WARNINGS above,
lift up on the front of the bag to ensure the Valve
is seated in the Receiving Plate when you place it
back down and that the Receiving Plate has been
properly installed according to step #6 above.
CAUTION: THE BAG AND SURFACES WILL BE
HOT!
Sauce is leaking from
the dispenser when
the push button is not
engaged.
The sliding mechanism on the bag’s Valve may not
be returning completely to the closed position, or
it may be caught on the Receiving Plate. UNPLUG
the dispenser, and using eective oven mitts,
covering all exposed skin with heat-resistant
materials, and otherwise fully complying with the
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & WARNINGS above,
remove the bag from the dispenser. CAUTION:
