Safety Procedures
• To prevent serious injury, death or property damage,
the appliance should be inspected and serviced at
least every twelve (12) months by an authorized
service partner or trained technician.
• Only allow an authorized service partner or trained
technician to service or to repair the appliance.
Installation or repairs that are not performed by an
authorized service partner or trained technician, or
the use of non-factory authorized parts will void the
warranty and relieve Alto-Shaam of all liability.
• When working on this appliance, observe precautions
in the literature, on tags, on labels attached to
or shipped with the appliance and other safety
precautions that may apply.
• If the appliance is installed on casters, freedom of
movement of the appliance must be restricted so
that utility connections (including gas, water, and
electricity) cannot be damaged when the appliance
is moved. If the appliance is moved, ensure that all
utility connections are properly disconnected. If the
appliance is returned to its original position, ensure
that retention devices and utility connections are
properly connected.
• Only use the appliance when it is stationary. Mobile
appliance racks, mobile plate racks, transport trolleys,
and appliances on casters can tip over when being
moved over an uneven fl oor or threshold and cause
serious injury.
• Always apply caster brakes on mobile appliances or
accessories when these are not being moved. These
items could move or roll on uneven fl oors and cause
property damage or serious injury.
• Be extremely careful when moving appliances
because the food trays may contain hot fl uids that may
spill, causing serious injury.
• Always open the appliance door very slowly. Escaping
hot vapors or steam can cause serious injury or death.
