2-2 May 2010
2-4. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION The heated holding cabinet is available from the factory as a
120 VAC or 240 VAC unit for domestic use and as a 240 VAC unit
for foreign use. The data plate, located on the side of the mod-
ule, will specify the correct electrical supply. The unit requires a
grounded receptacle with a separate electrical line protected by a
fuse or circuit breaker of the proper rating. For European mar-
kets, verify the electrical plug meets the proper electrical rating
and country type. See local authorities for proper standards.
To avoid electrical shock, the cabinet must be adequately
and safely grounded (earthed) according to local electrical
codes.
(FOR EQUIPMENT WITH CE MARK ONLY!)
To prevent electric shock hazard this appliance must be
bonded to other appliances or touchable metal surfaces
in close proximity to this appliance with an equipotential
bonding conductor. This appliance is equipped with an
equipotential lug for this purpose. The equipotential lug is
marked with the following symbol

Step 1
Step 2
Before using the heated holding cabinet, the unit should be
thoroughly cleaned as described in the Cleaning Procedures
Section of this manual.
1. To put the unit into operation, move the power switch to the
ON position. The power light should now be illuminated and
the blowers should be in operation.
2. Remove the water pan and put approximately 1” of hot water
in the pan. Return the pan to its location.
Be sure to push the water pan in as far as it will go so that it
does not block air from the thermometer and thermostat capil-
lary tubes. This will ensure proper operation of these compo-
nents.
3. Set the thermostat at #7 or approximately 180°F (82°C).
When the heat light goes out, the unit is ready for operation.
The unit should take approximately 25-35 minutes to heat to
temperature during start up. Be sure that the temperature light
goes out before loading with product.

Model HHC-90X/Model HC-5/15
1. Place the hot product on bun pans and insert between the
cabinet racks.
2. Serve the product rst that has been in the cabinet the
longest.
3. In order to maintain a constant temperature, open the doors
only as necessary to load and unload product.
3-4. OPERATION WITH
PRODUCT
As mentioned in the Operating Controls and Component Section,
the vent system limits the humidity level of the cabinet. The vent
adjustments are very easy to follow.
The vent setting corresponds to the number of trays of product.
With one tray of product, set the vent at No. 1. With two trays of
product, set the vent at No. 2 and so on.
3-5. VENTADJUSTMENT
3-6. CLEANING
PROCEDURES Daily:
Aluminum sheet pans slowly wear as they slide in and out
of stainless steel holding rails to access product. As the pan
slides against hte rail, it can leave behind small traces of
aluminum dust or small aluminum shavings. It is important
that daily cleaning in performed to prevent aluminum dust/
shavings from getting into the product being held in the unit.
1. Turn all controls to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the electrical supply to the cabinet.
To avoid burns, allow the unit to cool before cleaning.
3. Open the doors and remove all trays from the cabinet.

Failure to discard warped and/or bent pans may result in
metal shavings/dust contaminating food products.
5. Take the trays to a sink and clean them thoroughly.
6. Remove the water pan and clean it with a soft cloth, soap,
and water
7. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Do not splash
water around the controls.
8. Clean the exterior of the cabinet with a damp cloth.
Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners or
cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, bromine, iodine
or ammonia chemicals, as these will deteriorate the
stainless steel material and shorten the life of the unit.
Do not use a water jet (pressure sprayer) to clean
the unit, or component failure could result.
9. Open the doors and remove side racks. Clean the racks with
soap and water.
10. Clean the interior of the cabinet thoroughly with a cloth
and soap water.
10. Put the side racks and water pan back into the cabinet.
