7.
Before Initial Use:
Clean appliance with a clean, damp cloth and mild
soap solution. Clean and install pans, shelves or
side racks.
1. Turn thermostat to 200°F (93°C) and
preheat for 30 minutes.
When the thermostat is turned clockwise to an
"ON" position, the indicator light will illuminate
and will remain lit as long as the unit is calling
for heat. Close the ventilation openings inside
the door to accelerate heating.
The indicator light will go OUT when the air
temperature inside the unit reaches the
temperature set by the operator. It will then
cycle “
ON
/
OFF
” at this holding point. Verify
the full preheated temperature with the holding
temperature gauge located on the control panel
of the cabinet.
2. Load the cabinet with hot food only.
The purpose of the holding cabinet is to
maintain hot food at proper serving tempera-
ture. Before loading the cabinet with food,
use a food thermometer to make certain all
products are at an internal temperature range
of 140° to 160°F (60° to 71°C). Any food
product not within the proper temperature
range should be heated before loading into the
holding cabinet.
3. Reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).
Check to make certain the cabinet door is
securely closed, and reset the thermostat to
160°F (71°C). THIS WILL NOT NECESSARILY
BE THE FINAL SETTING. The proper
temperature range for the products being held
will depend on the type and quantity of
product. When holding food for prolonged
periods, it is advisable to periodically check
the internal temperature of each item with a
food thermometer to assure maintenance of
the proper temperature range of 140° to 160°F
(60° to 71°C).
