HEATED LANDING ZONE
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
3
The Heated Landing Zone or HLZ is designed to hold assembled sandwiches. By circulating heated
air evenly across the open staging area, the Heated Landing Zone keeps sandwiches hot without
drying or cooking. The Heated Landing Zone meets all McDonald’s standards for safety, efficiency,
food safety, and cleanliness.
3.1 HLZ Installation/Setup
Upon arrival, inspect the HLZ for concealed damage. Immediately report any damage to the delivering
freight company. Claims must be filed within 15 days after receipt of the unit.
Make sure that the unit is placed on an even surface and that the area surrounding the HLZ is free of
clutter that would interfere with airflow.
Install Optional Burger Bumper (Units Built Before 10/98)
The burger bumper may be placed on either side of the HLZ to prevent
pass through of product. Burger bumpers are provided by the KES.
See Figure 1.
Install Filter Screen (Units Built After 10/98)
The filter screen is design to prevent debris from entering the computer
Cowl Assembly and clogging the blower assembly. Simply fit the part
on to the vent opening of the computer cowl assembly. The filter
screen will snap into position. If equipped with an optional holding
screw, tighten screw to pull the filter screen snug into position.

DANGER
If the 240 VAC model is
operated on 208 VAC, the
unit will heat slowly and
may not reach maximum
temperature. If the 208
VAC model is operated on
240 VAC, component
damage is likely. To
ensure proper operation,
the power source should
match the voltage on the
rating plate on the bottom
of the HLZ.
The filter screen snaps into place on
rear of the air-intake tower.
