Thank you for buying a Victor Unit. We hope and expect that
you will get many years of satisfactory use from your purchase.

read, and follow, the installation, operating, cleaning and
maintenance instructions below. Failure to follow them may
affect the warranty.
1. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
All protective coating used on stainless steel surfaces of the hot
cupboard must be removed. The exposed surfaces can then be
wiped clean with a damp cloth, using a mild detergent or soap
if necessary.
Do not use any abrasive material or form of bleach for cleaning
purposes. Please see cleaning section of these instructions.
Static models:
Position the unit where it is to be used and ensure that it is
level. This is achieved by adjusting the feet, turning clockwise to
raise the unit and anticlockwise to lower the unit.
Mobile models:
Four castors are fitted, two of which are braked.
2. INSTALLATION
Where the appliance is to be positioned in close proximity to a
wall, partition, kitchen furniture, decorative finishes, etc., it is
recommended that they be made of a non combustible
material or clad in a suitable non-combustible heat insulating
material and that the closest attention be paid to fire
preventative regulations.
The appliance is fitted with a 13 Amp fused plug and only
requires connection to a suitable 13 Amp socket outlet. This
model is suitable for 230 – 240V A.C. supply only. Ensure that
the electricity supply is as stated on the model's data plate.

3. USE AND BEST PERFORMANCE
HOT CUPBOARD
The hot cupboard is thermostatically controlled either by
adjusting the thermostat knob, located on the control panel or
by an internal pre-set thermostat, which requires no
adjustment. To obtain the best performance, the following
procedure is suggested:
(a) Pre-heat the Hot cupboard empty for 30 minutes, with the
control knob turned on full. (Pre-set thermostat models should
just be switched on.)
(b) Load the Hot cupboard as required. Many factors will
determine the best control knob position, such as the amount
and temperature of the food loaded, and the frequency of the
opening and shutting of the doors. Experience from using the
hot cupboard will soon show the best setting for any given
occasion.
(c) Set the thermostat at the required temperature, No further
adjustment is necessary. (Pre-set thermostat models require no
adjustment.)
Stacked plates take a long time to heat through completely.
Please remember a Hot Cupboard is not designed to heat up or
cook food, but is designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
4. CLEANING
Switch off the unit at the mains before cleaning.
Stainless steel surfaces will give you many years of trouble-free
use as long as you follow a few simple rules. If it appears to
mark do not worry, it is usually not the steel but something
deposited on it which has stained.
Wash all surfaces before use:
You should use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or soap, or
similar cleaner. Always rinse well with clean water and dry the
surface with a soft cloth. Clean regularly when in use. Do use
soft cloths, nylon or bristle brushes.
Do not use:
Metal scrapers, wire brushes or wire wool pads as they can
scratch the steel. Do take care when handling sharp objects as
they can scratch the surface of stainless steel. Any scratches on
stainless steel will blend together over a period of time and
become less noticeable with age. There is no detriment to the
corrosion resistance or general performance of the material.
Do not use:
Bleach for cleaning purposes (remember dishwasher powders,
sterilising agents and similar products all contain chlorides). If
used, black pit marks, large brown patches or other such effects
may appear and permanent damage may be caused. If used
inadvertently rinse immediately with clean water.
