INTRODUCTION
Each King Edward Product is individually handmade by craftsmen using traditional methods and
materials. Please follow our recommendations carefully, you will then enjoy many years of
excellent service and lasting good looks from this product.
The Hot Food Merchandiser (product code: HFMV) is designed to hold and display pre-cooked
foods at serving temperature, which is much lower than cooking temperature and this fact should
be taken into consideration when using this unit.
The temperature control knob dial reading indicates the air temperature inside the cabinet, and
does not reflect the core temperature of the food displayed within the cabinet. The core food
temperature may be lower than the air temperature. Adjust the air temperature of the cabinet to
achieve the core temperature of the foods required, but please note: the maximum air temperature
setting of the HFMV is 1100C.
A potato when cooked has a core food temperature of 1000C. Once the potato is removed from
the oven its core temperature will naturally reduce over time. Placing the potato inside the Hot
Food Merchandiser will help contain the core temperature at around 75-850C, which is still
acceptable within standard food service guidelines.
Bear in mind that the higher the holding temperature, the shorter the shelf life of the food will be.
INSTALLATION
All King Edward products are packed securely to protect the units during transit. Prior to use,
remove all external packaging from the unit and check for any damage and missing items. All
damage and shortages must be reported within 24 hours.
Ensure all safety packing & manuals have been fully removed from the inside of the cabinet prior
to use. Please dispose of packaging in a responsible manner which is kind to the environment.
Make sure that the mains flex cannot come into contact with hot surfaces and that it is adjusted to
the required length by a qualified person upon installation.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, its Service Agent or Similarly
Qualified Persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not push excess flex under the unit and ensure that the electrical socket can be reached easily
in the event that the unit needs to be disconnected from the electric supply.
The adjustable feet can be moved up or down to enable the merchandiser unit to be sited firmly on
most surfaces:
The unit can be lifted at either side of the canopy where the brass screws are positioned.
We recommend that the wire trays are thoroughly washed and dried before the units first use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the Hot Food Merchandiser for 25 minutes at the desires temperature setting.
Load pre-heated food onto wire trays.
Periodically check food temperature and adjust the setting if required.
NB: continuously opening and closing the unit doors will increase the likelihood of the temperature
dropping below the required setting. Ensure the door is only opened when absolutely necessary.
