The automatic water-fill system requires a 1/4 inch, 100 psi maximum, water
connection. A water conditioner or filter, and a shut-off valve in the supply line is
recommended. See the following procedure when making the water supply
connection:
11)) Flush incoming water line.
22)) Using a pipe joint compound on the threads, screw the brass elbow into the
fitting on the left side of the cabinet. Using a 1 inch wrench, secure the fitting nut
while tightening the elbow. See Figure 2-1
Tightening Fitting Nut , page 5.

NOTE:
• If the float switch in the water pan senses low, or no water after 5 minutes, “WATER
PAN NOT FILLING, CHECK WATER SUPPLY” shows in the display.
• Open the doors only as necessary to load and unload product. This helps to keep
the interior conditions constant and saves energy.

Aluminum sheet pans slowly wear as they slide in and out of stainless steel holding
rails to access product. As the pan slides against the rail, it can leave behind small
traces of aluminum dust or small aluminum shavings. It is important that daily cleaning
is performed to prevent aluminum dust/shavings from getting into the products being
held in the unit.
11)) Turn all controls off and disconnect electrical supply.

44)) Wipe interior and exterior of cabinet with damp cloth, soap, and water.
NOTICE:
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, or cleansers/sanitizers containing chlorine, bromine,
iodine, or ammonia chemicals. These abrasives and chemicals deteriorate the
stainless steel and shorten the life of the cabinet.
• Do not use a water jet (pressure sprayer) to clean the unit, or component failure
could result.
55)) Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Do not splash water around controls.
66)) Reinstall racks, and leave a door partially open overnight to allow interior
cabinet to thoroughly dry.

Different levels of minerals exist in water based on location. Hard water contains
minerals like calcium and magnesium which leaves limescale on the surface of the
water pan. Ensure water meets the water requirements section of this manual. To
better understand your water quality, contact the local water agency for a water quality
report. Clean and delime the water pan regularly to maintain performance of the
holding cabinet. Failure to maintain water quality and the water pan may lead to
mineral deposit build up and the following issues:
• The pan may overheat.
• Decreased humidity output may affect product quality holding times.
• Cracks may appear in the water pan.
Do not use steel wool, other abrasive
cleaners, or cleaners containing chlorine,
bromine, iodine, or ammonia chemicals as
these will deteriorate the stainless steel and
shorten the product life. Steel wool and abra-
sive cleaners can make micro scratches in
the pan where minerals may build up and
damage the pan.

To clean lime scale, use a non-boiler grade delimer with sequestrants, which
deactivate minerals in water. Deactivated minerals cannot react to form scum, film, or
lime scale. Use the recommended products and procedures to clean the holding
cabinet.
