BASIC CABINET SETUP
A. Electrical Requirements: Please consult the DATA PLATE for electrical specifics. Note that cabinets rated at
120V and 1500 watts require a 125 VAC, 15 amp receptacle, and must be operated on an individual branch
circuit. DO NOT MODIFY THE CORD PLUG under any circumstances.
B. Power Setup: With the POWER switch in the OFF position, connect the cabinet to a grounded 125 VAC receptacle.
C. Water Pan Maintenance: If Proofing or Holding with moisture, fill the water pan to the top using clean, HOT tap
water. Check the water level every 3 hours (or every 2 hours during Proofing) and refill as necessary with clean, HOT
tap water. The water pan does not require filling for Heating.
HEATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mode Setting: Rotate the Combination Module switch to HEAT.
2. Power Setting: Turn the POWER switch to the ON position. The power indicator light will illuminate.
3. Initial Temperature Control: Set the TEMPERATURE control to 9.
4. Pre-Heating: Pre-heat the cabinet until your desired temperature is achieved.
Typically, the heat-up time from 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature to 160°F (71°C) is approximately 45 minutes.
For a cabinet with insulation, the typical heat-up time to 185°F (85°C) is also around 45 minutes.
5. Temperature Adjustment: Re-set the TEMPERATURE control and adjust as necessary to reach your desired
temperature. For a temperature between 150°F (66°C) to 160°F (71°C), a setting between 6 and 8 is typical.
PROOFING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Mode Setting: Rotate the Combination Module switch to PROOF.
B. Power Setting: Turn the POWER switch to the ON position. The power indicator light will illuminate.
C. Initial Temperature Control: Set the TEMPERATURE control to the desired level.
D. Humidity Control: Set the HUMIDITY control to 9.
E. Pre-Heating: Pre-heat the cabinet until the desired temperature and humidity levels are achieved.
Typically, the heat-up time from 77°F (25°C) ambient temperature to 95°F (35°C) and 95% relative humidity is approxi-
mately 30 minutes.
F. Adjustments: Tweak the temperature and humidity settings as necessary to reach your desired levels.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(*Heat Only Models)
BASIC CABINET SETUP
• The cabinets are designed to fit universal pans, and they can maintain food at a constant hot temperature.
Additionally, they provide humidity for proofing when necessary. Please note, these cabinets are NOT cooking
appliances.
CAUTION
• If any damage is found, do not operate the unit. Instead, immediately contact your dealer to arrange for service.
INSTALLATION
Place your unit on a stable, level surface. Plug the supplied cord into a grounded 120-volt AC,
15-amp power supply with a dedicated breaker. We highly recommend using ONLY the power cord
supplied. A dedicated circuit will help ensure optimal operational efficiency.
Please refrain from operating the unit with an extension cord.
15 Amp Outlet Requirement: For cabinets rated 120V 1500W. (Check Appliance Rating Label)
MAINTENANCE
The cabinet requires minimal maintenance and has been constructed to meet National Sanitation Foundation and
U.S. Public Health Service standards. For cleaning, we recommend non-toxic chemical cleaners or mild detergents.
DO NOT use steel wool or similar abrasive materials. Particles from such materials can embed in the metal, causing
corrosion and potential health hazards. If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid caustic solutions
on your equipment. Hosing or steam cleaning should not be necessary to keep these fixtures clean and sanitary.
Avoid water or steam contact with electrical components. Never power wash or steam clean the cabinet while the
power drawer is inserted.
CAUTION
• Always disconnect the power source before cleaning or servicing the unit. The equipment owner or persons
servicing the unit, including the authorized service agent, bear the responsibility for improper or careless use.
BASIC CABINET SETUP &
MAINTENANCE
HEAT THERMOSTAT
The heat thermostat controls temperatures ranging from 80°F to 185°F. The dial is marked with numbers from 1
through 9, but these do not correspond to specific calibrated temperatures. Thus, optimal temperature settings
should be determined through personal familiarity with the unit's operations. The dial also includes an OFF position
to deactivate the heating unit.
HUMIDITY THERMOSTAT
The humidity thermostat enables you to control humidity levels ranging from 30% to 100%. As with the heat thermo-
stat, the dial is numbered from 1 through 9; these numbers do not correlate to specific humidity levels, so the best
settings should be determined through personal experience with the unit. The dial also features an OFF position for
deactivating the humidity function.
To maintain a low heat range between 85°F to 100°F, switch to proof mode and adjust the heat knob to the desired
heat range. Allow approximately 45 minutes for pre-heating in the proof cycle.
SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS
The Heater-Proofer is an aluminum transport cabinet, equipped with heaters to function as a hot food holding
cabinet and/or as a proofing cabinet.
The heater, or heat drawer, slides into place on the lower ledges of the cabinet. An electrical power cord is supplied
and is plugged into the drawer through an access hole in the cabinet's rear.
The main power switch, located on the front of the drawer, activates the internal light and the air-circulating fan
when switched ON. The circulating fan and the 1500W heater element operate continuously when the unit is ON.
Thermostat control knobs are positioned to the left and right of the HEAT/PROOF switch. The left knob controls the
cabinet's heat from 1 (approx. 30% relative humidity) to 9 (100% relative humidity). On average, the setting will be
around 6 (approx. 85% relative humidity).

Remember to follow all food safety guidelines and preheat the cabinet to the desired temperature before placing
cooked, hot food into the cabinet. Check the internal food temperature with a probe — the cabinet temperature is not
necessarily the internal food temperature.
