CONTAINERIZED KITCHEN (CK)
OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
Operation in Snow, Ice, or Extreme Cold
In extreme cold, do not touch metal parts with bare hands. Severe skin
damage may result.
Fluorescent lights may be slow to light at very low temperatures.
1. If freezing conditions exist or are possible while the CK is set up and operating, the external
water supply and drain should not be used.
At temperatures below freezing, the water supply and drain hoses will be
stiff. Do not attempt to straighten or coil a frozen hose or equipment
damage may result. Place the hoses inside the heated shelter until they
have warmed enough to be coiled.
2. If connected, disconnect and drain the water supply hose and the external drain hose. Coil
each hose and store them in the hand sink assembly.
3. To use the hand sink, connect one of the 25-ft water supply hoses to the supply connection
on the back of the sink assembly. Position a filled 5-gallon potable water can beside the
sink assembly and insert the other end of the hose into the can.
The water heater holds about 6 gallons. If it is not already full from prior
use of the sink, at least two filled water cans will be needed to start.
4. Collect drainage from the hand sink in a suitable container placed underneath the external
drain hose connection.
5. Keep all doors and windows closed.
6. Lubricate door weather seals with silicone spray (WP 0051 00, Table 1, Item 4) to prevent
sticking.
7. Adjust the air curtain dampers along the front edge of the cook center hood if the air is
uncomfortably cold.
8. Run the cook center fans at the lowest practical level to avoid removing warm inside air.
9. Do not allow ice and snow to build up on the wing roofs. As necessary, remove any
accumulation with a soft bristle brush, broom, or equivalent.
10. Remove ice and snow from the wing roofs before folding them.
