C5 9 Series Cabinets — INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Power-Up & Pre-Heat
• When the cabinet is turned on with the touch screen, the cabinet will cycle through the start-up sequence and begin
Pre-Heat mode until the temperature and humidity set points are reached.
• The larger characters on the display show the actual cabinet temperature and humidity. The set points are also visible
in smaller characters.
• To change temperature or humidity set points, use "+ / -" symbols, or select the general Temperature or Humidity
areas for larger changes.
• Select the "Settings" button to configure Date/Time, Temperature scale, Low temp alarm, Timers, Auto start time,
Language, Control lock, and to access cabinet information.
1. Allow the cabinet to pre-heat without food for 30 minutes to an hour. The time required to reach the temperature set
point is dependent on the set point, the size of the cabinet, the door type (solid or clear) and the temperature of the
room the cabinet is in.
Warning: Follow all food safety guidelines. Pre-heat the cabinet to the desired temperature before putting cooked, hot
food into the cabinet. This is not a re-thermalization cabinet. Food must be at the appropriate temperature
before being placed into this cabinet.
2. To insure food safety, the C5 cabinet uses Temperature Priority. This feature is designed to minimize the time required
to pre-heat a cold cabinet to the desired operating temperature and to recover to the operating temperature after
a door has been opened and closed. To do this, during pre-heat and recovery, all the available electrical energy is
used to heat the cabinet. (Initially this may cause the temperature to exceed the set point. However, this will rapidly
correct itself and equalize to the operating temperature within a few minutes.) The C5 controls will continuously
monitor temperature and humidity and energize the heat elements accordingly. Note, as the cabinet pre-heats the air,
the humidity level may drop significantly. This is because hotter air can hold more moisture and therefore the relative
humidity goes down as the cabinet pre-heats. Once the cabinet operating temperature is reached, the cabinet will
then produce humidity as required. The Temperature Priority feature, heat before humidity, ensures the food is held
at the desired temperature. Food holding temperature is one of the key elements for safe food holding. By prioritizing
temperature, the C5 cabinet promotes food safety when used properly.
Low Temperature Alarm
This cabinet is equipped with a low temperature alarm system that will alert you if the temperature falls below the alarm
set point for more than 5 minutes during operation (unless the low temperature alarm has been turned off).
• The temperature display will turn red and an audible alarm will be activated if a low temperature condition is detected.
• Go to SETTINGS/SET ALARMS to adjust the alarm settings
• If the cabinet's TEMPERATURE set point set below the low-temperature alarm set point, the alarm is disabled.
• The low temperature alarm is also disabled during pre-heat.
Your C5 9 Series cabinet is capable of creating high levels of humidity at all operating temperatures. As you operate the
cabinet and open and close the door(s), condensation will 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. A drip trough is part of the bumper and will
direct most of this water to a removable water pan under the bumper. Water may also drip off opened doors onto the floor.
Caution: Water dripping onto the floor from open doors can be a slip hazard.
Warning: Some surfaces, water and escaping vapor can be hot enough to burn. Use caution when opening doors and
working in and around this cabinet.
4. The cabinet controls will "remember" their settings when the cabinet is turned off. Therefore, when the unit is turned
on the settings will be the same as they were during the previous use.
