MC-9 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
LIQUID CONTAINERS
Three insulated liquid con1ainers, each fitted with a thennostatically
controlled heating element, are contained within the maxi
galley cabinet. The containers are of stainless steel construc-
tion and each one has a capacity of 2 U.S. gallons (7.6 liters).
They are provided for keeping coffee, soup and other hot·
beverages at a temperature of between 170° and 190°F
(77° -88 ° C). By turning the switch at the hostess station "OFF"
and placing ice in the center ice well of the liquid container, the
insulated containers become suitable for storing cold bever-
ages. Without power and an initial temperature of 180°F (82°C)
liquids may be held for up to five hours before the temperature
falls below 140°F (60°C).
The liquid containers can be powered by either the 24-volt DC
coach electrical system or, to conserve the coach batteries, the
110-volt AC •in-station electrical system. There is no manual
voltage selection necessary, as the switching control box auto~
matically switches from 24 volts to 110 volts when the in-station
electrical system is plugged in and back to 24 volts when
unplugged.

REMOVAL OF LIQUID CONTAINERS
The removal of the liquid containers is necessary to clean or
fill them, orin the event that a spigot or heating element needs
replacing.
To remo'ie the containers, release the spring-loaded catch
and open the door at the front of the liquid containers. Lift the
front of the container high enough to clear the tray and pull the
container forward. When installing, slide the container into
position and push firmly .to ensure that the self-aligning
three-pin plug makes full contact. There are two screws on the
female plug bracket, should adjustment of the plug be
necessary.
