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.
Verify that the fan in the back of the unit is
operating and turning without any visual
restrictions.

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.

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.

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

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.
