Shelf Temperature
The temperature of the shelves is controlled by a thermostat on each shelf and on the base of the unit (see
Figure 1). Set each shelf thermostat on “9” for the initial start up of the unit.
Power Up and Preheating
1. Ensure that the power supply cord is connected to an appropriate power receptacle.
2. Place the POWER ON/OFF switch in the ON position.
3. Place the LIGHTS ON/OFF circuit breaker in the ON position.
4. Allow the unit to preheat for a minimum of 30 minutes before loading it with product.
Check Federal and State Health and Sanitation Regulations for internal temperature required for holding
cooked foods for sale. Maintaining these temperatures often tends to allow continued cooking of certain
products. Therefore, smaller amounts of bulk foods should be displayed at non-peak periods and the unit
refilled as needed.
This equipment is not designed to heat-up or cook food. All meat and vegetable products should be
preheated to a minimum of 160
°
°°
°
F (70
°
°°
°
C) before being placed in the unit.
Temperature Adjustment
After placing the product onto the shelves, it may be necessary to adjust the individual thermostats in order
to maintain the proper internal temperature for the product on display. A thermometer should be used to read
the internal temperature of each product. The thermostats should be adjusted to the lowest possible setting
that will maintain the proper product temperature.
Operational Guidelines
Only use product packaging suitable for the application.
Keep portable meat thermometers on hand. Check the food temperatures hourly. Rotate the food products.
Foods loaded in first should be served first as much as is practical.
Foods held for long periods of time are more difficult to maintain at proper temperature. Also, freshness and
product quality diminish if foods are held too long. Most areas of the country have sanitation regulations
governing how long foods can be held. Make certain to check with your local authorities.
Unit Shutdown
1. Remove product from the unit.
2. Place the POWER ON/OFF circuit breaker in the OFF position.
3. Place the LIGHTS ON/OFF circuit breaker in the OFF position.
4. After the unit has cooled down, remove any residue from the shelves and clean the unit thoroughly.
