A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY
SandenVendo is committed to safety in every aspect of our product design. SandenVendo is
committed to alerting every user to the possible dangers involved in improper handling or
maintenance of our equipment. The servicing of any electrical or mechanical device involves
potential hazards, both to those servicing the equipment and to users of the equipment.
These hazards can arise because of improper maintenance techniques. The purpose of this
manual is to alert everyone servicing SandenVendo equipment of potentially hazardous areas,
and to provide basic safety guidelines for proper maintenance.
This manual contains various warnings that should be carefully read to minimize the risk of
personal injury to service personnel. This manual also contains service information to ensure
that proper methods are followed to avoid damaging the Hot Food Display (HFD) or making it
unsafe. It is also important to understand these warnings are not exhaustive. SandenVendo
could not possibly know, evaluate, or advise of all of the conceivable ways in which service
might be done, nor can SandenVendo predict all of the possible hazardous results. The
safety precautions outlined in this manual provide the basis for an effective safety program.
Use these precautions, along with the service manual, when installing or servicing the HFD.
We strongly recommend a similar commitment to safety by every servicing organization. Only
properly trained personnel should have access to the interior of the machine. This will
minimize the potential hazards that are inherent in electrical and mechanical devices.
SandenVendo has no control over the machine once it leaves the premises. It is the owner’s
or lessor’s responsibility to maintain the Hot Food Display in a safe condition. Follow all
Safety Rules and Safety Warnings in this manual. If you have any questions, please contact
the Technical Services Department of SandenVendo.

FOOD FOR THE HOT FOOD DISPLAY
The HFD, HFDM, and HFDH units are designed to hold unwrapped, wrapped, and boxed
food. The HFDC and HFDHC are designed to hold wrapped and boxed food. Hot food
displays are not designed to heat cold food - put only hot food in the hot food display.
These appliances are intended to be used for commercial applications (for example in
kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals, and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries,
butcheries, etc.) but not for continuous mass production of food.
