Water Supply
In order to operate properly, the evaporator in
this cabinet must be filled with clean, potable
water. Hardware is included to connect the
cabinet to a copper line in your facility's water
system. If your facility has plastic or
galvanized pipes, contact a licensed plumber
to connect the water supply. Equipment
should be installed to comply with applicable
federal, state, or local plumbing codes.
Appliances with automatic water fill
systems are to be installed with adequate
backflow protection to comply with
federal, state, and local codes.
As water evaporates, any minerals in the
water will deposit on the surface of the
evaporator. These mineral deposits will inhibit
the transfer of heat. Deposits can also
degrade and damage stainless steel. The
best way to avoid mineral deposits is to clean
the appliance daily. It is also advisable to
contact your water utility for advice on
minimizing deposit buildup. Experience has
shown that leaks will occur by failing to clean
and rinse the evaporator daily. Leaking
evaporators are not covered under
warranty.
Shipping Damage
Examine equipment thoroughly for shipping
damage before, during and after unloading.
All Winston products are carefully inspected
and verified to be in good condition before
leaving our factory. The carrier delivering
your cabinet has assumed responsibility for
its safe arrival. If you notice any damage
(obvious or hidden), a claim must be made to
the carrier.
Obvious Loss or Damage
Please note any obvious loss or damage on
the freight bill or express receipt, and have
the carrier’s agent sign to acknowledge the
claim. The carrier will supply the necessary
forms. If you do not obtain and complete the
forms before the carrier's agent departs, the
carrier might refuse your damage claim.
Concealed Loss or Damage
Sometimes loss or damage is not obvious
until the product has been unpacked. If you
notice damage that was concealed by
packaging or crating, contact the carrier in
writing to notify them of the damage. The
carrier should agree to inspect the damage
within 15 days. Please retain all packing
materials. The carrier will supply an
inspection report and the required claim
forms.

installing auto water fill
To remove the plastic tubing from the water
line connector, use your fingers to carefully
press the small brass capture ring in toward
the body of the connector. Then gently pull
the tubing out of the connector. To insert
tubing back into connector, push the tubing
fully into the connector. Once seated, try to
pull the tubing out of the connector so that
the capture ring comes out (about 1/16”
(1.6mm)) and the tubing cannot be removed.
See drawing below. Auto Water Fill Systems
must be hooked up to a potable water supply
line. Winston RECOMMENDS that the tap
valve included with the kit be attached to cold
water, copper, brass or steel line (the valve
can handle any size line from 3/8" to 1"
(9.5mm to 25.4mm)). The maximum
incoming water temperature may not
exceed 140˚F (60˚C) and the incoming
water pressure must be between 20 and
150 psi (1.4 Kgf/cm2 to 10.5 Kgf/cm2
(kilogram-force per sq. centimeter)).
CAUTION: Appliances with auto water fill
systems MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO
RUN DRY. Heat damage to the water valve
may result.
It is the responsibility of the owner and
installer to make sure that installation
complies with all applicable local and state
plumbing codes.
High Temperature Hazard
Can cause damage to appliance.
Fill evaporator with water prior to turning power on,
and do not allow evaporator to run dry.

be necessary to hire a licensed electrician to
install the correct outlet or wiring. Winston
does not recommend wiring the unit direct.
Below is electrical information for both models
of Winston’s CVap®cook & hold cabinet.
Ventilation clearances - To operate properly,
the cook & hold cabinet will need sufficient
space for air circulation. Allow at least 2"
(51mm) clearance on all sides of the cabinet,
particularly around ventilation holes. Care
should be taken to prevent placing the
cabinet close to anything combustible. It must
be installed with its supplied legs, feet, or
casters. Counter top appliances specifically
supplied without legs or casters may be set
directly upon a counter top of non-
combustible material. In this situation, the
appliance may have to be sealed to the
counter top with a food-grade silicone sealant
(check local health codes). Half size
appliances may be stacked upon each other
using only a Winston supplied stacking kit
and following the instructions enclosed with
the kit. Your warranty may be void if you do
not adhere to these ventilation requirements.
electrical
ventilation requirements
Do not place appliance in an area where air
temperatures around the appliance exceed
100°F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required
to prevent excessive heat exposure and
grease laden vapors from affecting the
appliance if adjacent to heat, vapor, or grease
generating devices (such as grills, steamers,
cabinets, etc.). Excess heat and grease
inside the appliance cavities may cause
electrical components to fail.
Vent hood - Generally this appliance does not
need to be installed under a mechanical
ventilation system (vent hood). Check local
health and fire codes for specific requirements.
High Temperature and Grease Hazard
Can cause damage to appliance.
Avoid placing appliance near high heat or in grease
laden atmosphere.

daily operating procedure
Prior to using appliance for the first time,
perform the daily cleaning procedure listed on
pages 17 and 18.
1. Prepare unit for cooking/retherming/
holding. Adjust rack supports in retherming
cavity if required.
2. Fill evaporator with 3.5 gallons (13.3
liters) of water prior to operation. We
recommend filling manually at first, rather
than waiting for the auto fill to fill it. Tip:
Speed up initial cabinet preheat by using
hot water (do not use water that's hotter
than the desired food temperature.
Locations with hard water should add one
tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to
water in evaporator to help prevent scale
buildup. You may want to seek advice
from your local water authority concerning
possible water treatment necessary for the
protection of the unit. Some water
supplies are high enough in chemical
content to be capable of destroying
stainless steel if used untreated. The
evaporation process can concentrate the
chemicals to a level which causes a high
interaction with stainless steel. When
water is of unknown quality, automatic fill
units should be connected to the water
source through a deionizer/demineralizer.
Experience has shown that leaks will
occur by failing to clean and rinse the
evaporator daily. Leaking evaporators
are not covered under warranty.
