NORMAL OPERATION—HL2 & HL4 HW HEATER PROOFERS
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Inner and outer surfaces of
the unit will be very hot dur-
ing and after operation.
Avoid touching the cabinet
when loading or removing
product.
FIRST USE
Before using the cabinet, familiarize yourself with the heater con-
trols. See page 9 for details. Plug the cabinet into a proven power
source. See electrical specifications on page 8.
HOLDING
1. If humidity is desired, a water pan is located at the bottom of the
cabinet. This pan will provide active humidification up to 90%RH
(depending on temperature). Fill water pan with clean warm
water. NOTE: Cabinet may also be operated without water.
2. Turn the cabinet on using the power switch located on the far left
side of the control panel. Once the switch is turned on, the
power indicator light will illuminate.
3. To adjust the temperature setting, rotate the HEAT dial clock-
wise to increase temperature and counter-clockwise to decrease
temperature to the desired set point. Temperature dial settings
range from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest temperature and 10
being the highest temperature.
4. To adjust humidity, rotate the humidity dial clockwise to
increase humidity and counter-clockwise to decrease humidity.
If humidity is not required, rotate dial counter-clockwise to the off
position (line up dot on knob with white hash mark on control
panel).
5. Wait approximately 25 minutes for the cabinet to preheat. Digital
readout dial on right side of control panel will display actual
cabinet temperature*.
6. Load food pans into cabinet. NOTE: Follow all food safety guide-
lines. Put hot, cooked food into the cabinet. This cabinet is not
intended to reheat food. Food must be cooked and at safe
serving temperature prior to being placed in the cabinet.
7. When removing items, start at the bottom and work up. This will
keep food hotter and eliminate spillage onto lower items.
PROOFING
1. Follow instructions above for holding. Note: water pan at base
of cabinet must be filled with clean warm water.
2. For proofing settings, rotate HEAT knob clockwise to 5 to 6
(approximately 90°F to 100°F; 32 ° to 38°C) and rotate HUMIDI-
TY knob clockwise to 10 (90%+ RH).
3. Allow cabinet to preheat for approximately 25 minutes and load
food according to the instructions above.
Operating ranges:
- air temp: 90ºF-190ºF
(32
°C to 88°C)
- humidity: 0-90%RH
Water reservoir:
When using the water reser-
voir for humidified holding or
proofing, check water level
every 2 hours and refill if
needed.
CAUTION:
WATER HAZARD
A water trough is located at
the base of the cabinet to
collect and direct condensa-
tion into black plastic con-
densation pan below. Make
sure to periodically check
and empty the pan to avoid
overflow & slip hazard.
*For food safety reasons,
we recommend that the
holding temperature
should be set at or above
140°F (60
°C).
