FEATURES & DESCRIPTIONS
COMPONENT LOCATION & FUNCTION
Toastmaster Hot Food Servers are heated drawer-type cabinets designed to HOLD food cooked in
advance at serving temperature and proper moisture content.
Thermostat: The thermostat is graduated from 0 to 10 which makes is adjustable
from 100°F to 200°F (38°C to 93°C) holding temperature. Some
models are equipped with separate thermostat for each drawer. Refer
to Specications on the previous page.
Thermometer: The thermometer is used to visually check if the holding temperature is
at the desired setting. Chicken, beef, ribs, sh, potatoes, vegetables
and sauces can be held at temperatures with condence because you
can see that the actual holding temperature is safe. The thermometer
will tell at a glace if the holding temperature is high enough to retard
dangerous bacteria growth and low enough to prevent overcooking and
drying out food.
Note: On models with one drawer and on models with individual temperature controls for each drawer
the thermostat knob and thermometer are protected with either a wire guard, or the are recessed into the
front panel.
Moisture Control: The moisture control consist of a slide which is used to control the
amount of moisture allowed to escape form the foods being held.
Indicator Light: The light will illuminate when the unit is calling for heat and will shut off
when it has reached the set temperature.

3. Electrical Connections:
FREE STANDING UNITS: All free standing hot food servers are quipped with a factory installed 36”
(914mm) cord and plug.
• 120V models: Plug conforms to NEMA Standard 5-15P
• 208/240V models: Plug conforms to NEMA Standard 6-15P
BUILT-IN UNITS: Most units are provided with a 48” exible metal conduit for electrical connections
(see electrical specications for specics).
D. Installation of Built-In Units:
All of these units are true built-in models and are designed to be installed into the front face of a counter xture.
Front of units extends beyond the body to form a self-trimming ange that covers the cut out in the xture.
1. Cabinet Cut Out and Support. Cut out the face of the counter xture according to the drawing that is
provided with your hot food server. Figure 2-5 can also be used for the cut out drawing of your model
number. As shown in the drawing allow 1/2” (13mm) minimum cabinet face material above top of cut out
opening. This allows unobstructed seating of hot food server ange.
Be sure counter xture has adequate depth from front face to inside of back to accept the hot food server.
Minimum depths are shown for each model in Figure 2-5.
a. The hot food server body must be supported from the bottom. This can be accomplished by
installing metal support angles of wooden support blocks as shown in Figure 2-5. The supports
are not supplied and must be furnished using a suitable strength metal or wood. The top surface
of these supports must be 1/16” (3mm) below the bottom edge of the face cut out. A metal or
wood crossbrace approximately 2-1/2” (64mm) wide should be securely mounted between the
supports as shown. The center line of the crossbrace must be 4” (102mm) from the face of the
cut out and its top surface must be ush with the side supports.
b. An alternate support method is to install a solid at platform in lieu of the side supports and
crossbrace. The top surface of the platform must be 1/16” (3mm) below the bottom edge of the
cut out.

3. Electrical Connection. All electrical connections required for this unit must be performed by a certied
electrician. Built-in models are equipped with a 3/4” (19mm) diameter x 4ft. (122cm) long exible conduit
containing power lead pigtails and a ground wire. It is necessary that this conduit and the wiring leads
connect at a junction box in accordance with local codes. Be sure to check the data plate on the front of
the unit to be sure the power supply is correct. 115V units operate on voltage ranging from 110V to 125V.
220V units operate on voltage ranging from 208V to 240V.
4. Mount Unit in Cabinet.
a. Remove the drawer(s) from the unit, pull the drawer(s) out to the stop. Grasp the entire drawer
assembly at the sides as if to lift it and locate your thumbs on the tabs of the drawer slide (gure
2-7). Press down on these tabs with your thumbs and simultaneously pull out on the drawer. Set
drawer assembly aside.
b. Lift the unit form both sides and start its backside into the cut out. Push back until the trim ange
meets the face of the xture.
c. Place a level on the oor of the unit and check from side to side and front to back. If adjustments
are necessary, slide the entire unit out of the xture and adjust the leveling feet as required.
d. Secure the unit into position after leveling. There are two holes in the unit bottom for this purpose
(See Figure 2-6). Place a drill bit down through these two holes and bore two pilot holes into the
crossbrace beneath. Tighten a pair of at head sheet metal screws down through these holes
and into the crossbrace. The unit is now installed.
e. Replace the drawers. NOTE: The drawers of multiple drawer units are individually identied
(ex: “TOP”, “2” AND “3”). They should be reinstalled in their respective positions.
E. Initial Start-up
1. Turn on the branch line circuit
breaker
2. Set the thermostat control dial
at “10” the indiactor light will
come on indicating that unit is
calling for heat.
3. After a few minutes have
elapsed, open a drawer and
check that the unit is heating.
NOTE: If your unit is equipped with
a separate thermostat for each
drawer, complete Steps 2 & 3
for each drawer individually.

OPERATION
A. Location of Controls
The following information provides a basic description of the hot food server components, their location and function
they perform.
B. Function of Controls
Hot food server models are either equipped with one set of controls for the complete unit of a separate set of controls
for each drawer. Units with one set of controls have a thermostat control, indicator light and thermometer located
below the drawer(s). Units with separate drawer controls have them under each drawer.
1. ThermostatControlKnob- The thermostat control knob is used to set the temperature to your requirements.
The control knob is graduated from “0” to “10” with “OFF” position. The maximum temperature setting is 10
(200°F [93°C]), the minimum temperature setting is 0 (100°F [38°C]).
2. Indicator Light - An indicator light cycles on and off as the thermostat calls for heat.
3. Thermometer - The thermometer indicates the actual holding temperature within the unit.
4. Moisture Control - Hot food servers operate on a principle of holding food at proper and safe temperatures
and with proper moisture content. Because hot food servers produce dry heat, moisture loss from the food
must be controlled. The moisture control allows the operator to control the rate at which the natural moisture
of the food escapes.
Slide the moisture control for the desired opening:
Crisp: Slide is fully opened to allow rapid escape of moisture so crisp foods placed in the
hot food server will not get soggy.
Partially Open: Adjust slide for the desired amount of moisture retention.
Moist: Slide is fully closed to retain all of the moisture in the food.
C. Operation
1. Turn the main power disconnect switch (circuit breaker) ON.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting. Allow the unit to preheat for the time shown in the
following chart. The indicator light will cycle ON and OFF as it heats.
3. Read the thermometer after the preheat time has elapsed. If the indicated temperature is above or below
the desired (set) temperature adjust the thermostat up of down unit the desired holding temperature is
reached.
4. Place cooked food into hot food server drawer(s) WHILE HOT. Do not allow to cool.
5. Close drawer and set moisture control slide to the desired position appropriate for the food being held. Refer
“FUNCTION CONTROLS” for moisture control settings.
6. Open drawers as required to remove and/or replenish food.
IMPORTANT: When holding bread and rolls it is important to rotate product. Rolls already in the drawer should
be moved to the front and rolls being added should be placed at the rear.
Rolls that have been heated once and then cooled have lost most of their moisture while setting in the open air,
they can not be reheated with satisfactory results.
