Cadco CBC-3RT - Manual (Page 2)

Assemble Cart
1. Attach the casters to the bottom of the cart legs. (Casters just pop into the bottom of the legs.)
Put the 2 casters with brakes on front legs for best stability.
2. Place pan holder(s) on the top warming surface, with the notched edge(s) positioned over the
positioning/stabilizing knobs.
3. Attach skirt to cart (on sides & front) with Velcro strips provided.
4. (When actually using cart to keep foods warm) place steam pans with hot food into the pan
holders, and put the lid(s) in place.
I nitial Use:
Turn unit on by pressing the rocker switch(es) behind the cart handle(s) to the ON position.
Turn the variable thermostat knob(s) counterclockwise to maximum setting. Heat the warming
base without foods on it for approximately 10 minutes in order to seal the special coating. (Only
the top level of the cart heats up.) Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.
Subsequent Use:
1. The heating element is equipped with a variable thermostat knob, located behind the cart handle.
(Largest models have 2 knobs, one at either end of the cart. Each knob on the large models
controls half of the total heating surface.) Heat range is from 155 0 to 200 0 F, to keep foods at
serving temperatures. For best results, use maximum heat setting to quickly reach your desired
temperature, then adjust to desired temperature. Set heat level by turning the knob so that the
white line on the knob mark lines up with the signa (Low = 155 0 )l light line.
2. The light will come on only during heat cycle. Due to the low wattage necessary for warming
trays, it can be 20-30 minutes before the light cycles off.
3. You may use the unit either fully assembled with steam pans, or use the warming surface alone
HOW TO USE
Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Buffet Cart features, Figure A. Wash
removable parts in warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Clean the warming tray base with a mild
detergent and a soft moist cloth. Do not use any scouring agents! DO NOT SUBMERGE THE
WARMING BASE OR LET THE PLUG COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER. Rinse and wipe dry.
Do not allow water to spill or seep into the frame.

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always Use Handles. Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse tray base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions
or has been damaged in any manner. Call the Cadco Factory Service Department at 860-
738-2500 for a Return for Repair Authorization, or for the nearest authorized service center.
**Standard size carts have a carry-in service warranty. Save carton in case it is required for
possible future service needs. (Carts warranty applies in 48 contiguous US states only.)
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.
12. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit.
13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn
any control to “Off,” then remove plug from wall outlet.
14. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
15. DO NOT USE PLASTIC DISHES OR PLASTIC WRAP ON WARMING SURFACE .
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: A 72”(6’) power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the hazards
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension
cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If a long cord set or extension cord is
used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
The high-tech warming surface will remain unblemished for a long time with appropriate care.
The warming surface and high-grade, long-life stainless chafing pans allow for an attractive
alternative for keeping appetizers and other foods warm. For best results use nylon, plastic, wooden
or rubber utensils. Metal utensils may be used with care but should not be used to cut food on
the cooking surfaces.
