Operation
• Food must be preheated BEFORE loading; this case
MUST NOT be used to cook or heat product.
• Check Internal Product Temperatures (IPTs) periodi
-
cally with a portable food thermometer
• Do not stack containers.
•
Be careful not to overheat as containers may melt.
• When restocking, rotate food products: oldest foods
should be placed in front and served first.
• Wipe spills immediately to maintain product fresh
-
ness, minimize odors, reduce end-of-day cleanup (See
Maintenance Section).

• Use a pocket food thermometer regularly to check
internal product temperatures.
•
Before adjusting shelf temperatures, ensure only pre-
heated foods are being loaded into the case.
• Shelves are pre-set to 185°F, suitable for many food
and container types.
• Adjust SHELF-Setpoint as needed to maintain ideal
Internal Product Temperatures:
(1) Press SET key,
(2) Press UP ARROW / DOWN ARROW keys
to change *SHELF-Setpoint,
(3) Press SET key again.
(4) When increasing SHELF-temperatures,
heat food in a separate cooking/warming
oven, then reload.
• Temperature controls should be adjusted to the low
-
est possible setting that will maintain proper internal
product temperature.
• See troubleshooting guide if, after adjustment, pre-
heated product does not maintain regulatory tem
-
perature.
Holding Temperature Guide
• Food must be preheated BEFORE loading the case; the
case must not be used to heat product.
• Always consult local health and sanitation regulations
