OPERATION - MANUAL CONTROL
1. Preheat at 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes.
When the thermostat is turned clockwise to the ON
position, the indicator light will illuminate and will
remain lit as long as the unit is calling for heat.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes of preheating before
loading the holding cabinet with food. Closing the
vents on the inside of the door will speed up the
process. The indicator light will go OUT after
approximately 30 minutes, or when the air
temperature inside the unit reaches the temperature
set by the operator.
2. Load the cabinet with hot food only.
The purpose of the holding cabinet is to maintain
hot food at proper serving temperatures. Only hot
food should be placed into the cabinet. Before
loading the unit with food, use a food thermometer
to make certain all food products are at an internal
temperature range of 140° to 160°F (60° to 71°C).
All food 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 food being
held will depend on the type and quantity of
product. Whether or not the door vents should be
open or closed will also depend on the type of food
being held. When holding food for prolonged
periods, it is advisable to periodically check the
internal temperature of each item to assure
maintenance of the proper temperature range.
