Model HHC-980/983
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.
The minimum holding temperature for potentially
hazardous product is 150o F (66o C). 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.
2. Place product into cabinet.
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.
Hint: Open the doors only as necessary to load and unload
product. This helps to keep the interior conditions
constant and saves energy.
3-5. CLEANING Daily:
PROCEDURES 1. Turn all controls off and disconnect electrical supply.
Toavoidburns, allow the unit to coolbeforecleaning.
2. Open doors and remove all pans and racks from

ammonia chemicals. These abrasives and chemi-
cals 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.
