GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE CABINET BEFORE LOADING FOOD
6
PLUG CABINET INTO OUTLET, MAKING SURE THAT IT
IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER RECEPTACLE.
The red indicating light will come on and remain on until
the unit is unplugged.
FILL THE HUMIDIFIER PAN WITH HOT WATER. This pan
is located on the inside bottom of the unit, and pulls out
from the tunnel cover protecting the heating element. The
entire pan is removable for ease of cleaning and filling.
Fill this pan with HOT water prior to heating the cabinet.
This will allow the heating system to condition and add
humidity to the cabinet’s air and help prevent your food
from drying out and shrinking. NOTE: If dry heat is desired
(no humidity), simply drain the water out of the pan.
SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING. For most foods,
a holding temperature of 150°F - 160°F should be
adequate. By keeping the water pan filled and the
thermostat set at @ 150°F, a normal (40%) humidity
level will be achieved. PRESS POWER SWITCH TO
“ON” POSITION TO ACTIVATE HEAT.
PRE-HEAT CABINET FOR 15-30 MINUTES. When the
amber light goes off, the unit has reached the temperature
which you selected in step 3, and is ready to load with
your HO
T foods. NOTE: the amber light goes on and off
as the heating element cycles on and off. Plates may be
heated in the cabinet before dish-up, but this will require
extra pre-heat time. AVOID PUTTING YOUR HOT FOODS
INTO A COLD CABINET! By pre-heating the unit 20-30
minutes before each use, you can be assured of
maintaining the temperature and obtaining the best
results from your cabinet.
