and temperature gauge.
WARNING
Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.
Startup
1. For freestanding units, plug the unit into a properly grounded
electrical receptacle of the correct voltage, size, and plug
configuration. See the SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
2. Move the POWER ON/OFF (I/O) switch(es) to the ON (I)
position.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE control knob(s) to the desired
setting(s). See the RECOMMENDED SETTINGS chart on
the control panel or the Food Holding Guide in this section.
NOTE: Refer to the OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES section
for information to operate units with an optional Digital
Temperature Controller or an optional Touchscreen
Controller.
CAUTION
Standard and approved manufacturing oils may smoke up
to 30 minutes during initial startup. This is a temporary
condition. Operate unit without food product until smoke
dissipates.
BURN HAZARD:
• Some exterior surfaces on unit will get hot. Use caution
when touching these areas.
• Use caution when opening drawer. Hot air escapes
when drawer is open.
4. Allow unit 15–20 minutes to reach operating temperature.
5. Adjust the drawer vents for the desired humidity by sliding
the vent knob on the drawer front. Move vent knob to the
right to open the vents and to the left to close the vents.
Opening the vents all the way allows maximum moisture to
escape.
Drawer Vents
Drawer Vents
NOTE: Proper vent adjustment depends on the type and amount
of food held, as well as the frequency of drawer opening.
NOTE: For additional moisture, water can be added
(approximately 1/4" [6 mm] of water) to the optional
water/spillage pan before inserting the food pan into
the drawer. Check water level periodically. Add water
as necessary. Use of splash baffle is recommended to
prevent water from splashing into the cabinet interior
when opening and closing a drawer. If hard water is
used, the pan will require periodic cleaning and deliming.
See MAINTENANCE section for deliming instructions.
NOTE: Damage caused by water is not covered under warranty.
