Before operating the unit, clean both the interior and
exterior of the unit with a clean, damp cloth and mild
soap solution. Rinse carefully. Clean and install the
shelf slides and shelves.
Become familiar with the operation of the controls.
Read this manual and keep it in a secure location.
The appliance is equipped with a special heating cable.
Through this Halo Heat concept, the heating cable is
mounted against the walls of the unit to provide an
evenly applied heat source controlled by a thermostat.
The design and operational characteristics of the unit
eliminate the need for a moisture pan or a heat
circulating fan. Through even heat application,
the quality of food products is maintained up to several
hours or more.
1. PREHEAT AT 200°F (93°C) FOR 30
MINUTES BEFORE LOADING FOOD.
Push power switch to “ON” position. The power
button will illuminate.
2. Rotate the control knob to 200°F (93°C).
The Set temperature will appear in the Digital
Display and the temperature display light
will illuminate. Press the Temperature Display
Button at any time to display the A ctual inside
air temperature .
3. When the inside air temperature reaches the
desired holding temperature, the temperature
display light will turn off.
4. 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.
5. Check to make certain the cabinet door is
s
ecurely closed, and rotate the control knob 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. Reset the holding temperature accordingly.
