oPeRaTInG InSTRUCTIonS
Caution: The stainless steel water pan must be in place during module operation.
Caution: Water inside this cabinet's pan is hot during use! Turn off and allow the water to cool before emptying the
pan.
Note: The POWER switch is not a foot switch. Using it as a foot switch can damage the switch and make the
cabinet inoperable.
Warning: Follow all food safety guidelines. Preheat the cabinet to the desired temperature before putting cooked,
hot food into the cabinet. This is not a rethermalization cabinet. Food must be at the appropriate
temperature before being placed into this cabinet.
• Your C5 1 Series or 3 Series cabinet is capable of creating some humid air. As you operate the cabinet and open
and close the door(s), condensation may form on the inside surfaces of the cabinet. Some dripping of water may
occur to the outside of the cabinet particularly at the door seals. Water may also drip off opened doors onto the floor.
Caution: Water dripping onto the floor from open doors can be a slip hazard.
Note: When turning the cabinet off at the end of the workday, it is recommended to leave the door(s) open
to prevent heat and condensation build up within the cabinet.
