CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning The Cabinet
Warning: Unplug the cabinet before cleaning or servicing. Do not wash the cabinet with a water jet or
high-pressure water.
Warning: Allow the unit to cool before cleaning, as the interior of the cabinet may be hot enough to burn.
Also, allow the water in the pan to cool before removal.
Caution: Do not spray or pour water into the control module. To clean the cabinet and module, wipe with a damp
cloth and dry with a towel. Use only cleaning agents approved for aluminum.
Caution: Do not use strong alkalis as it may discolor aluminum.
• Use cleaners in the proper concentrations. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the cleaning product used.
After using any cleaning products, thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove all residue.
• Use a damp cloth or sponge. Mild soap suitable for aluminum is acceptable. Dry with a clean towel. Wipe up spills
as soon as possible and regularly clean the cabinet to avoid staining and difficult to clean conditions.
• If a control knob needs to be removed for cleaning, remove the knob, clean the knob recess and knob, and
replace the knob.
1. When removing the module, make sure the power cord is NOT hooked onto the cord keeper. Open the door(s).
If there is water in the stainless steel pan, remove and empty. Remove the module from the cabinet by lifting
up the front enough to clear its detent, and then pull the module away from the cabinet. The power cord slips
through the clearance hole at the rear of the cabinet.
2. Remove the slide racks.
3. After cleaning, replace all components. Make sure the slide racks are seated in the hangers correctly.
4. Push the power cord through the plastic snap bushing in the rear of the cabinet and install the module.
Cleaning Instructions for Clear, Polycarbonate Doors (if applicable):
The protective masking on the polycarbonate door may be removed by simply peeling it from the door, starting at a
top corner and working downward. For regular cleaning, a soft cotton flannel cloth and a cleaner recommended by
its manufacturer for use on polycarbonate plastics is suggested. Do not use synthetic cloths or cleaners not intend-
ed for polycarbonate plastics as these will scratch and dull the polycarbonate door panel. Additional hints
for keeping the door panel clean and clear:
1. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, used as a cleaner, will aid in removing grease smudges and fingerprints.
2. A small amount of liquid dish detergent in a bucket of water will help remove heavier dirt and will help make the
clear panel antistatic and therefore less likely to attract dust.
3. A paste-wax recommended for polycarbonate plastics and approved for food service equipment will hide small
scratches and return the luster and clarity to the clear door panel as well as reduce the electrostatic attraction
of dust.
Cleaning Instructions for 3 Series Insulation Armour Panels on Sides, Top and Back:
Use soft cloth, mild soap water solution to clean lightly-soiled surfaces. Then wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
For heavily-soiled areas, use a soft brush and solvent or emulsion-based cleaner. Always insure the cleaner is
recommended for use on plastics and follow any special instructions from the manufacturer.
Cabinet Maintenance:
Regularly inspect this product. Tighten loose fasteners and replace worn or damaged parts with new InterMetro
approved parts. For mobile units, replace worn or damaged casters immediately; if equipped with grease fittings,
lubricate casters regularly.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Module operation basics:
When the power switch is on, the blower is always energized, circulating air, and the digital thermometer is always
displaying the cabinet temperature. A thermostat controls whether an element will be energized depending on
the thermostat setting and the air temperature it is sensing. The control knob is used to change the thermostat
setting. When a thermostat senses the temperature has gone below its set point, the thermostat contacts close, the
appropriate indicator will light and the heater element will begin to produce heat. When the thermostat senses the
temperature has reached its set point, the contacts open, the indicator light will go out and the heater element will
stop producing heat.
Holding Module: The holding module has one heating element. It is in the air duct and heats up the air as it is
circulated in the cabinet. The thermostat senses the return air temperature and will energize the air duct element
as required to heat up the cabinet air. Some moisture can be introduced by filling the stainless steel water pan with
warm water and allowing the warm air to pick up the water vapor as the blower circulates the air. There is no heating
element to heat the water.
Moisture Holding and Proofing Module: There are two heating elements in these modules. One is in the air duct to
heat the air, and one is under the stainless steel water pan to heat the water and introduce moisture into the cabinet.
One thermostat senses the return air temperature and will energize the air duct element as required to heat up the
cabinet air. The other thermostat senses the air temperature around the water pan. It will energize the water pan
element to heat the water and release moisture into the cabinet.
Combination Proof and Hold Module: A combination proof and hold module has a mode switch, which allows the
module to act as either a holding module or a proofing module. Therefore, it has all the elements of both a holding
module and a proofing module. When the mode selector switch is set to HOLD, only the larger wattage air element is
used. The stainless steel water pan element is not used. When the mode selector switch is set to PROOF, the lower
wattage air element and the water pan element are used but independently controlled by individual thermostats. See
the appropriate paragraph above for more detail on how the Combination Proof and Hold Module operates in either
holding or proofing mode.
Element wattages are shown in the chart below:

Note: When heating element(s) are not energized, the amp draw for the blower and digital thermometer is
approximately 0.8 to 0.9 amps.
Warning: Only factory-approved service agents should attempt to service, repair or replace electrical
components, wiring or power cord..
1. Controls do not work (digital thermometer and indicator light(s) not lit):
a. Check that the cabinet is plugged in.
b. Check that the outlet has power. Is electrical service fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
c. Check that the power switch is in the “On” position.
d. Check the cabinet wiring from the power cord to the power switch and to the terminal block.
e. Power switch could be bad.

6. Moisture level is too low:
a. If the heat indicator light is on, and the cabinet draws the appropriate amperage per the chart on page 11:
i. Check that the stainless steel water pan has water.
ii. A door is not closed or sealing properly.
iii. Moisture set point is too low. Turn moisture control knob to a higher setting.
b. If the heat indicator light is on, but the cabinet does not draw the appropriate amperage per the chart on
page 11:
i. Air heater element may be faulty.
ii. The wiring to the air heater element may be faulty or disconnected.
iii. The thermostat may be faulty.
c. If the heat indicator light is not on, the thermostat contacts may not be closing and therefore the heater element
is not being energized. It is rare that the indicator light will be defective but it is possible. Check the
thermostat and pilot light and their respective wiring.
7. Cabinet trips GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter):
A GFCI receptacle protects against “ground faults” whenever an electrical product is plugged into the GFCI
outlet by constantly monitoring the electricity for any loss of current. If the current flowing out of the receptacle
differs by a small amount from that returning, the GFCI quickly switches off power to that circuit. The GFCI
interrupts power extremely fast to minimize the possibility of an electric shock.
a. The heater element may absorb some moisture into its casing and insulation during shipment or during long
periods of not being used (such as during the summer in a closed school kitchen). Plug the cabinet (without
water in the stainless steel water pan into a non-GFCI outlet, set the temperature to “10” and let it run for
30-60 minutes to dry out any moisture the element may have absorbed. (If it trips the standard circuit breaker
call factory-approved service agent.) After drying the element, plug the cabinet into the GFCI outlet; the
cabinet should run without tripping the GFCI.
b. If the cabinet still trips the GFCI, call a factory-approved service agent.
