cook & hold cabinet
Models CA8509, CA8522
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.
