500 Series Display Cases Service and Installation Manual
INSTALLATION: 500 CH
Installation should be done by personnel certified and licensed to install and maintain electrical appliances.
Location
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. Contents fully loaded into this product line can weigh as much as 1500 lbs. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the drain pan will drain properly, the doors will line up with the frames properly, and the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain.
Electrical connection
Connections must be made in accordance with all applicable local codes and/or the National Electrical Code. Refer to the wiring diagrams on pages 6 and 7.
OPERATION: 500 CH
NOTE: Intended for DRY OPERATION ONLY.
Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the temperature knob to “10” and heat the well for 20 minutes. Do not be alarmed if smoke appears; this preheat should burn off any residue or dust on the heating element.
Hot surfaces can cause serious burns. Always wear some type of protective covering on your hands and arms when removing lids or pans from the unit.
Never place food directly into the well. Always use pans. Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food from drying out and to reduce your operating cost.
For most efficient operation, keep covered insets empty in each well during preheating and when the well is not in use.
