HEATING CHARACTERISTICS  
The cabinet is equipped with a special, low heat  
density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat con-  
cept, the heating cable is mounted against the walls  
of the warming compartment to provide an evenly  
applied, thermostat controlled, heat source. The  
design and operational characteristics of the cabinet  
eliminate the need for a moisture pan or a heat  
circulating fan. Through even heat application,  
the quality of a food product is maintained up to  
several hours.

OPERATION  
Manual Control  
Before Initial Use:  
3. Reset the thermostat to 160°F (71°C).  
For potatoes - 180°F (82°C).  
Clean appliance with a clean, damp cloth and mild  
soap solution. Clean and install the pans, shelves  
and side racks.  
Check to make certain the cabinet door is  
securely closed, and reset the thermostat to  
160°F (71°C). THIS WILL NOT NECESSARILY  
BE THE FINAL SETTING. The proper tempera-  
ture range for the products being held will  
depend on the type and quantity of product.  
When holding food for prolonged periods, it is  
advisable to periodically check the internal tem-  
perature of each item with a food thermometer  
to assure maintenance of the proper temperature  
range of 140° to 160°F (60° to 71°C).  
1. Turn thermostat to 200°F (93°C) and  
preheat for 30 minutes.  
When the thermostat is turned clockwise to an  
"ON" position, the indicator light will illuminate  
and will remain lit as long as the unit is calling  
for heat. Close the ventilation openings inside  
the door to accelerate heating.  
The indicator light will go OUT when the air  
temperature inside the unit reaches the  
temperature set by the operator. It will then  
cycle “ON/OFF” at this holding point. Verify the  
full preheated temperature with the holding  
temperature gauge located on the control panel  
of the cabinet.

General Holding Guidelines  
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service  
personnel employ varied methods of cooking.  
Proper holding temperatures for a specific food  
product must be based on the moisture content  
of the product, product density, volume, and  
proper serving temperatures. Safe holding  
temperatures must also be correlated with  
palatability in determining the length of holding  
time for a specific product.

Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of  
product moisture content without the addition  
of water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining  
maximum natural product moisture preserves the  
natural flavor of the product and provides a more  
genuine taste. In addition to product moisture  
retention, the gentle properties of Halo Heat  
maintain a consistent temperature throughout the  
cabinet without the necessity of a heat distribution  
fan, thereby preventing further moisture loss due  
to evaporation or dehydration.

When product is removed from a high temperature  
cooking environment for immediate transfer into  
equipment with the lower temperature required  
for hot food holding, condensation can form on  
the outside of the product and on the inside of  
plastic containers used in self-service applications.  
Allowing the product to release the initial steam  
and heat produced by high temperature cooking  
can alleviate this condition. To preserve the safe-  
ty and quality of freshly cooked foods however,  
a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the only  
time period allowed for the initial heat to be  
released from the product.

CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE  
PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES  
CLEANING AGENTS  
It is important to guard against  
corrosion in the care of  
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for use  
on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be  
chloride-free compounds and must not contain  
quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric acid  
(muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces. Always use  
the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer's  
recommended strength. Contact your local cleaning  
supplier for product recommendations.  
stainless steel surfaces.  
Harsh, corrosive, or  
inappropriate chemicals can  
completely destroy the  
protective surface layer of stainless steel. Abrasive  
pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade  
surfaces causing damage to this protective coating  
and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.  
Even water, particularly hard water that contains  
high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will  
cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust and  
corrosion. In addition, many acidic foods spilled  
and left to remain on metal surfaces are  
contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.  
CLEANING MATERIALS  
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished  
with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean  
cloth. When more aggressive methods must be  
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on  
difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the  
visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface  
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring  
pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.  
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and  
methods are vital to maintaining the appearance  
and life of this appliance. Spilled foods should be  
removed and the area wiped as soon as possible  
but at the very least, a minimum of once a day.  
Always thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a  
cleaning agent and wipe standing water as quickly  
as possible after rinsing.

S A N I TAT I O N  
Food flavor and aroma are usually so closely related  
The most accurate method of measuring safe temper-  
atures of both hot and cold foods is by internal prod-  
uct temperature. A quality thermometer is an effec-  
tive tool for this purpose, and should be routinely  
used on all products that require holding at a specific  
temperature.  
that it is difficult, if not impossible, to separate them.  
There is also an important, inseparable relationship  
between cleanliness and food flavor. Cleanliness, top  
operating efficiency, and appearance of equipment  
contribute considerably to savory, appetizing foods.  
Good equipment that is kept clean, works better and  
lasts longer.  
A comprehensive sanitation program should focus on  
the training of staff in basic sanitation procedures.  
This includes personal hygiene, proper handling of  
raw foods, cooking to a safe internal product temper-  
ature, and the routine monitoring of internal temper-  
atures from receiving through service.  
Most food imparts its own particular aroma and  
many foods also absorb existing odors.  
Unfortunately, during this absorption, there is no  
distinction between GOOD and BAD odors. The  
majority of objectionable flavors and odors troubling  
food service operations are caused by bacteria  
growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness, stale or  
other OFF flavors are usually the result of  
germ activity.  
Most food-borne illnesses can be prevented through  
proper temperature control and a comprehensive  
program of sanitation. Both these factors are impor-  
tant to build quality service as the foundation of cus-  
tomer satisfaction. Safe food handling practices to  
prevent food-borne illness is of critical importance to  
the health and safety of your customers. HACCP, an  
acronym for Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control  
Points, is a quality control program of operating pro-  
cedures to assure food integrity, quality, and safety.  
Taking steps necessary to augment food safety prac-  
tices are both cost effective and relatively simple.  
While HACCP guidelines go far beyond the scope of  
this manual, additional information is available by  
contacting:  
The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor is  
through comprehensive cleanliness. This means  
good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible  
soil (germs). A thorough approach to sanitation will  
provide essential cleanliness. It will assure an attrac-  
tive appearance of equipment, along with maximum  
efficiency and utility. More importantly, a good sani-  
tation program provides one of the key elements in  
the prevention of food-borne illnesses.  
A controlled holding environment for prepared foods  
is just one of the important factors involved in the  
prevention of food-borne illnesses. Temperature  
monitoring and control during receiving, storage,  
preparation, and the service of foods are of equal  
importance.

THERMOSTAT & INDICATOR LIGHT SEQUENCE  
THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION  
THERMOSTAT & PILOT LIGHT SEQUENCE  
Whenever the thermostat is turned “ON,” the  
indicator light will indicate the power ON/OFF  
condition of the heating cable, and consequently,  
the cycling of the cabinet as it maintains the dialed  
cavity temperature. If this light does not illuminate  
after normal start-up, the main power source,  
thermostat, and/or indicator light must be checked.  
The thermostat is precision calibrated at the factory.  
Normally, no adjustment or recalibration is necessary  
unless the thermostat has been mishandled in transit,  
changed or abused while in service. A thermostat  
with a sensing bulb operates on hydraulic pressure,  
consequently, any bending of the bulb results in a  
change in its volume, and alters the accuracy of the  
thermostat calibration.  
If the warming cabinet does not hold the temperature  
as dialed, the calibration of the thermostat must be  
checked. If the warming cabinet fails to heat or heats  
continuously with the thermostat “OFF,” the thermo-  
stat must be initially checked for proper operation.  
If these items are checked and found to be in order,  
a continuity and resistance check of the heating cable  
should be made. SEE CIRCUIT DIAGRAM.  
A thermostat should be checked or recalibrated by  
placing a quality, thermal indicator at the center of  
an empty holding cavity. DO NOT CALIBRATE  
WITH ANY FOOD PRODUCT IN THE CABINET.  
The thermostat should be set, and should be allowed  
to stabilize at that setting for a minimum of one  
hour. The center of the thermal swing of the air tem-  
perature within the cabinet should approximately  
coincide with the thermostat setting.  
If calibration is necessary, the calibration screw  
should be adjusted with great care. The calibration  
screw of the thermostat is located in the thermostat  
dial shaft. With the shaft held stationary, a minute,  
clockwise motion of the calibration screw apprecia-  
bly lowers the thermostat setting. A reverse, or  
counter-clockwise motion appreciably raises the  
thermostat setting. After achieving the desired  
cycling of the thermostat, the calibration screw must  
be sealed. Place a few drops of enamel sealant  
directly on the calibration screw.
