STARTUP
1. For the CW2E and CW4, Install 12”x20” crumb pan (included)
under the cabinet. Cabinet performance will be severely affected 
if the pan is not in place. The CW1 crumb pan should already be 
in the proper location. 
2. Before using, familiarize yourself with the cabinet controls. 
3. Turn the cabinet on. 
4. For best results and more uniform heating, preheat the cabinet 
prior to loading.
5. Wait 30 minutes for the cabinet to preheat. 
6. Load the cabinet with chips. 
7. Allow at least 30 minutes for the chip temperature to stabilize. 
8. Serve the chips by unloading from the bottom door. 
9. Use the top door to reload chips into the cabinet to ensure chips 
are always hot and available.
10. At the close of the business day, perform the daily cleaning pro-
cedures.
1. Ensure all protective plastic and packaging materials have been
removed.
2. Plug the power cord of the cabinet into a grounded outlet with a
minimum 15 amp 120VAC, 60HZ, single phase electrical service.
3. Set POWER switch to “ON” position.
4. Do not load product into the cabinet. Allow the heat to remove
any residual oils which may adhere to inside metal surfaces. A 
slight emission of smoke is common during the first few hours of 
operation. 
5. Thoroughly clean the interior of the unit, per the instructions in
this manual.
