Operation SE-C And SES-C

There is a switch on the right side of the compressor stand used to turn the unit on and off.

These units are designed to hold cold food product between 33°F to 41°F (0.6°C to 5°C).

Cold pans are adjusted at the factory to provide satisfactory operation without any further adjustments. However, if it is necessary to adjust the temperature, the control is located in the machine compartment. Turn the knob clock-wise as indicated on the control. Settings are from 1 through 7; 7 being the coldest. Adjustments should be made gradually. Several small adjustments will be more effective than one large adjustment. It may take an hour or longer to realize the temperature change depending on the application and location of the unit.

These units are not designed to cool warm food products. Items should be placed in the unit pre-cooled at least to the desired holding temperature, if not slightly colder. In some applications, a gradual warming of product may occur, particularly at the exposed top of the product. Stirring or rotation of the product may be necessary to maintain overall temperature. Warming of food product can occur very quickly outside of the unit. When loading or rotating product, avoid leaving food items in a non-refrigerated location to prevent warming or spoilage.

When the cold pan is used with ice, use perforated bottoms. These will allow ice to melt properly.

The unit must be turned off when not in use or overnight for defrosting and cleaning.

Operation SE-H And SES-H

These units are designed to hold warm food product between 140˚F to 160˚F (60˚C to 71˚C).

Individually heated hot food units may be operated “wet” (with water in the wells) or “dry”. However, “wet” operation is recommended for better performance.

After plugging in the power supply cord, select desired temperature by rotating temperature control. A knob and indicator light are provided for each individual heated food well.

First Time Use

Before the unit is used the first time for serving, turn the temperature knob to HI and heat the well for 20 to 30 minutes. Any residue or dust that adhered to the heater element(s) will be burned off during this initial preheat period.

When serving thick sauces always operate the hot food well in “wet” operation. This provides more uniform temperature for the sauce.

Never place food directly in well. Always use pans.

For most efficient operation, keep covered insets in each well during preheating or when empty.

Always place covers on pans when not serving to prevent food from drying out.

Wet Operation

Fill the food well with about 2” of water and cover with lid or empty pan. To preheat water, set temperature control at HI. With pans in place, wells will boil water. Food temperature will vary depending on type and amount of product. To minimize steam and water usage, set control to lowest setting that will maintain proper food temperature. To reduce preheating time, use hot water to fill the well.

When operating these units “wet”, never use anything other than plain water in the wells or tank. Failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury or damage to the unit.

When operated at the highest temperature setting, the top of the unit will become very hot. Staff and customers using the equipment should be informed about this.

Steam can cause serious burns. Always wear some type of protective covering on your hands and arms when removing lids from the unit. Lift the lid in a way that will direct escaping steam away from your face and body.

Dry Operation

Wet operation is usually much more efficient and is preferred. However, these units may be operated without water with no damage to the unit.

When operated dry, the bottom of the well will discolor. To clean, use a stainless steel cleaner or mild abrasive.

The dry well should never be preheated longer than 15 minutes.

When operated dry, the well bottoms become very hot. Do not allow unprotected skin to contact any well surface.
