II. INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
IT IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT ANY
CONCEALED OR NON-CONCEALED DAMAGE TO THE FREIGHT
COMPANY.
A. Insta ation Options and Kit Avai abi ity
Your hot food server is shipped from the factory with 4 NSF-listed
plastic legs, which may be used on single-unit or two-stack installa-
tions. The following kits are available from Toastmaster for additional
installation options:
 P/N ACCHFSC Casters kit (for 1-4 units)
 P/N ACCHFS6 6 legs kit (for 1-4 units)
 P/N ACCHFS9 9 legs kit (for 1-4 units)
All hot food server installations REQU RE the unit(s) to be mounted
on legs or casters prior to operation. The allowed installation configu-
rations are:
Supplied Cas ers 6 legs 9 legs
4 legs ki ki ki
Single uni YES YES YES YES
Two-s ack YES YES YES YES
Three-s ack NO YES YES YES
Four-s ack NO YES YES YES
CAUTION
STACKING MORE THAN FOUR SERVERS IS NOT PERMITTED.
B. Legs/Casters Assemb y
1. To install the supplied 4/102mm legs (1-2 units only), thread the
legs into the four holes on the bottom of the hot food server. An
illustration of the server with the supplied legs installed is shown
on the cover of this Manual. For a Two-Stack installation, attach
the legs to the bottom server only.
2. To install an optional Legs Kit or Casters Kit, refer to the instruc-
tions provided with the Kit.
C. Stacking the Hot Food Servers (2-4 units on y)
CAUTION
If you have ins alled he op ional Cas ers Ki , check ha he cas ers
are locked before s acking he ho food servers.
Perform the following steps, starting with the server that has legs/
casters installed:
1. Remove the two screws that hold the control panel in place. Be
sure to retain the screws. See Figure 2.
2. Gently pull the control panel out from the front of the unit and
allow it to hang by the wiring. DO NOT stretch or disconnect the
wiring! See Figure 2.
3. Remove the cap plug from the top panel of the unit. To remove
the plug, bend the tines on the underside of the plug in towards
the center using a pair of pliers. Then, lift the cap free and dis-
card it. See Figure 3.
4. Place a hot food server atop the unit. Check that all four sides of
the units are aligned.
5. Attach the two units together by inserting the supplied 3/8 bolt
from inside the control panel opening of the lower server, as shown
in Figure 4. The bolt passes through the hole in the top panel
and into the threaded leg hole in the floor of the upper unit. Tighten
the bolt to a LOOSE fit to allow the position of the units to be
adjusted.
6. At the rear of the upper server, remove the screws from BOTH
bottom rear corners, as shown in Figure 4. Then, loosen (do not
remove) the two screws on the lower server that hold the stack-
ing clips in place.
7. Reposition the stacking clips as shown in Figure 4, and replace
the two screws that you removed in Step 6. Tighten all four
screws.
8. Tighten the 3/8 bolt (that you installed in Step 5) to secure the
units together.
9. Replace the control panel, and fasten it in place with its screws.
10. Repeat Steps 1-9 until all units are stacked. Note that the cap
plug will remain in place on the top server in the stack.

 1 is the minimum setting (100°F/38°C after preheating).
 9 is the maximum setting (200°F/93°C after preheating).
3. Thermome er
Displays the temperature of the cabinet and pan. A green zone
of 150-175°F (66-79°C) shows the optimum temperature range
for most food products.
4. Mois ure con rol slider
Opens and closes the moisture vents in the front panel of the
drawer.
 Moving the slider to the CR SP (left) position opens the
vents, allowing moisture to escape and causing a crisper
food product.

1. Restore electrical power to the hot food server at the circuit
breaker/fused disconnect. Switch the Power On/Off ( /O) switch
to the ON ( ) position.
2. Turn the temperature adjustment knob (if necessary) to the
desired setting for the food product.
3. Allow the hot food server to preheat for 20 minutes.
