3-3. START-UP
Before using the humidified holding cabinet, thoroughly
clean the unit as described in the Cleaning Procedures
Section of this manual.
1. Plug unit into electrical receptacle, or turn on wall circuit
breaker. With the POWER switch turned to OFF the
display shows “POWER OFF.”
With the POWER Switch off, the display may show
“PURGING”. This means the humidity has reached
95% inside the unit and the fan runs to help drop the
humidity. Once the humidity reaches 92%, “POWER
OFF” again shows in the display.
Even though POWER switch is OFF it does not dis-
connect all electrical supplies to the controls.
Unplug power cord, or turn off wall circuit breaker
before servicing any electrical components, or
electrical shock could result.
2. Turn the POWER switch to ON, and the display
shows “PUSH TO PROOF”.
3. If the unit is to be used as a proofer, (80-140o F)
(27-60o C), press the HUMIDITY button within 10
seconds, while thedisplay still shows “PUSH
TO PROOF”. If not, allow unit to heat normally,
(140o-210o F) (60o-99o C).
4. Open door of unit and pour up to 3 gallons of water
into bottom water pan, (minimum 1 gallon) up to the slot
on the concentration ring. See figure 3-2.
Do not overfill the water pan, or water could over
flow and spill onto the floor, and personal injury
could result.

3-3. START-UP(Continued) 5. Press theTEMPERATURE button to set the desired
cabinet temperature. While the LED is flashing, press
the UP and DOWN buttons until the desired tempera-
ture shows in the display.
6. Press the HUMIDITY button to set the desired cabinet
humidity (OFF to 90%). While the LED is flashing,
press the UP and DOWN buttons until the desired
temperature shows in the display.
7. Allow the unit to preheat for about 1 hour prior to
placing product in the cabinet. This allows the interior
conditions to stabilize.
3-4. OPERATION WITH 1. The LEDs above the TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY
PRODUCT buttons go out when the desired temperature and
humidity are reached inside the cabinet. Place hot
product on pan and slide pan onto the racks of the
cabinet.
The minimum holding temperature for potentially
hazardous product is 150o F (66o C). Use the food
probe to accurately display food temperature. Also,
the cabinet product load capacity for the full size
units is 375 lbs. (170 kg.), and 125 lb. (57 kg.) for
the half-sized units. View the temperature at any
time by pressing .
2. Press the appropriate timer button (1-15), and the
time, (hours:minutes), starts counting down in display.
3. At the end of the timing period, the control beeps, and
“0:00” flashes in display.
A float switch in the water pan senses when the
water level is low and the display shows “WATER
LEVEL LOW”. Add more water to the water pan.
4. Open the doors only as necessary to load and unload
product. This helps to keep the interior conditions
constant and saves energy.

clean the unit, or component failure could result.
4. Wipe the control panel with a damp cloth. Do not
splash water around controls.
