III. OPERATION
A. Location and Function of Controls
This section provides a basic description of the hot food server controls,
their location, and the functions they perform. The operator MUST be
familiar with the controls. See Figure 5.
1. Power On/Off (I/O) Switch
Switches the heating element ON (I) and OFF (O).
2. Temperature adjustment knob
Adjusts the temperature setting of the heating element. This
controls the temperature of the cabinet and pan.
1 is the minimum setting (100°F/38°C after preheating).
9 is the maximum setting (200°F/93°C after preheating).
3. Thermometer
Displays the temperature of the cabinet and pan. A green zone
of 150-175°F (66-79°C) shows the optimum temperature range
for most food products.
4. Moisture control slider
Opens and closes the moisture vents in the front panel of the
drawer.
Moving the slider to the CRISP (left) position opens the
vents, allowing moisture to escape and causing a crisper
food product.
Moving the slider to the MOIST (right) position closes the
vents, trapping moisture inside the cabinet and food product.
B. Operation Procedure
1. Restore electrical power to the hot food server at the circuit
breaker/fused disconnect. Switch the Power On/Off (I/O) switch
to the ON (I) position.
2. Turn the temperature adjustment knob (if necessary) to the
desired setting for the food product.
3. Allow the hot food server to preheat for 20 minutes.
CAUTION - HOT SURFACE
USE CAUTION WHEN LOADING FOOD INTO, AND
REMOVING FOOD FROM, THE PAN.
THE SURFACES OF
THE PAN ARE HOT.
4. Open the drawer. Load the food product into the pan, and close
the drawer. Check that the drawer is fully closed to prevent heat
loss into the environment.
5. Move the moisture control slider (if necessary) to open or close
the moisture vents, as required by the food product.
6. The food product will be kept at the temperature shown on the
thermometer. When unloading the product, use caution to avoid
touching the hot surfaces of the pan.
IMPORTANT
It may be necessary to clean the pan after removing some food
products. Refer to Section IV,
Daily Cleaning, in this Manual.
