If the door of your Enthermics Food Warmer has been open for more than 3 minutes, make sure to close it. Also, verify that the door switch is working correctly. If it's not, you may need to replace the door switch.
Why is my Enthermics Food Warmer showing 'Over Temperature'?
If your Enthermics Food Warmer displays an 'Over Temperature' message, first check if the compartment is overloaded. If it is, redistribute the inventory, ensuring not to exceed the insert's height. Additionally, measure the resistance of the sensor with an ohmmeter and test it at 32°F (0°C) in ice water; the reading should be 100 ohms. If it deviates by +/- 10, replace the sensor. Inspect the wiring for any damage and ensure secure connections at the controller and terminal block. If the issue persists, the relay may be defective and need replacement. If the error continues after these steps, further assistance is needed.
What to do if my Enthermics Food Warmer displays 'Hardware is over temperature'?
If your Enthermics Food Warmer displays 'Hardware is over temperature', inspect the connections and condition of the high-limit bimetal thermostat and the fan switch (for fluid warmers only), adjusting as needed. Ensure the compartment fan motor is running (fluid warmers only). The air movement from this fan should move the safety sail switch to the closed position; adjust the fan or replace the motor if necessary. If the error continues, further assistance is needed.
What to do if my Enthermics Food Warmer displays 'Under Temperature'?
If your Enthermics Food Warmer (blanket warmer) shows 'Under Temperature', first ensure that the door is completely closed. If the compartment is overloaded, redistribute the inventory, making sure not to exceed the height of the insert.
What does it mean when a controller button is stuck on my Enthermics Food Warmer?
If a controller button on your Enthermics Food Warmer is stuck, it means a button has been held down for more than 60 seconds. Adjust the controller. The error will reset once the problem is resolved.
What should I do if the compartment air sensor is shorted in my Enthermics Food Warmer?
If the compartment air sensor is shorted in your Enthermics Food Warmer, detach the sensor from the terminal block and measure its resistance with an ohmmeter. Test the sensor at 32°F (0°C) using ice water; the ohm reading should be 100. Replace the sensor if the reading is +/- 10. Also, inspect the wires for any damage and ensure the connections at the controller and terminal block are secure and correct. If the error continues, further assistance is needed.

This document describes the Enthermics Combination Warming Cabinet, a medical device designed for safely warming and storing blankets, irrigation fluids, and injection fluids. The cabinet is available in three models: EC1260BL, EC1540BL, and EC1730BL, all operating at 120V.
The Enthermics Combination Warming Cabinet is a dual-chambered appliance, meaning it has two separate compartments: a blanket warming chamber and a fluid warming chamber. Each chamber is designed for specific warming purposes to ensure patient comfort and safety.
The blanket warming chamber is intended solely for warming dry, cotton blankets or towels. Its primary function is to elevate blanket temperatures to a level that enhances patient comfort. This chamber utilizes a low-heat-density electrothermal cable array positioned in the floor and two sides of the cabinet, providing even heating without the need for a heat circulating fan. The temperature controller for the blanket chamber has an adjustable range of 37°C to 93°C (98°F to 200°F). A timer feature allows users to program the controller to automatically switch on and off during a 24-hour period, enabling energy savings by turning off the chamber at night while ensuring warm blankets are available in the morning.
The fluid warming chamber is specifically designed for warming medical solutions for irrigation and injection prior to use. It is crucial to refer to the labeling of the manufacturer of the products being warmed for recommended temperatures and warming durations. This chamber can be programmed to warm either irrigation fluids (IRR) within a temperature range of 37°C to 66°C (98°F to 150°F) or injection fluids (INJ) within a range of 37°C to 40°C (98°F to 104°F). A fan inside the fluid chamber circulates air to prevent temperature stratification, ensuring an accurate and uniform chamber temperature for both modes. The temperature control for injection fluids maintains a precision of +0/-1.12°C (+0/-2°F) for set points between 37°C and 40°C, and for irrigation fluids, it maintains +0/-1.67°C (+0/-3°F) for set points between 43°C and 66°C. An alarm will sound if temperatures exceed 6°C (10°F) above the set-point temperature, and an overtemp indicator will blink, signaling an over-temperature condition.
The cabinet's construction features a stainless steel exterior casing and a door with a handle and hinges designed for heavy usage. A window in the door allows for observation of inventory without opening the door.
The appliance is equipped with an electronic control system for each chamber, consisting of a 4-digit LED display, ON/OFF button, INCREASE and DECREASE buttons, an integrated lock-out control feature, and a series of prompt sequence indicators. This control system allows for easy setting of temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. In the event of a power failure, the cabinet's controller stores all settings and resumes operation with the previously set parameters once power is restored. A thermal shut-off system, separate from the electronic controls, is included as an additional safety feature.
Regular cleaning and preventative maintenance are essential for the appliance's operating efficiency and longevity.
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for qualified and trained service technicians, including error codes and required actions. For issues beyond basic troubleshooting, contact the manufacturer for authorized service. Do not attempt repairs or service beyond this point without authorization to avoid voiding the warranty. A manual reset button is located at the rear of the warmer for certain issues.
