2. Plug the unit into the appropriate power outlet.
3. Allow the unit to pre-heat for at least 30-45 minutes to reach the desired holding temperature.

Loading Food Pans:

1. Ensure food is already at a safe hot temperature (above 140°F / 60°C) before placing it into the Camcart.
2. Open the door and carefully slide food pans onto the internal rails. The compartment can hold:
   • 6 full-size 2-1/2" deep pans
   • 4 full-size 4" deep pans
   • 3 full-size 6" deep pans
   • 2 full-size 8" deep pans
3. Close the door immediately and latch it securely to maintain temperature.

Maintaining Temperature:

• The unit is designed to maintain temperatures for hours, even when unplugged, due to its insulation.

Transporting:

• Disconnect the power cord and secure it in its designated storage area before moving the unit.
• Use the molded-in handles for lifting or pushing.
• For longer distances, the unit can be transported on a Camdolly with a securing strap (sold separately).

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Daily Cleaning:

1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wipe down interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
3. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
4. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the polyethylene surface.

Cord Storage:

• The removable power cord should be stowed securely for transport to prevent damage or loss.

7. Troubleshooting

Unit Not Heating:

• Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and the electrical outlet.
• Verify that the electrical outlet is functional by testing it with another appliance.
• Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Temperature Drop:

• Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Frequent opening of the door will cause temperature fluctuations.
• Verify that the food placed inside was already at a safe hot temperature. The unit is for holding, not heating from cold.
• Check for any damage to the door seal or insulation.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Cambro customer support or a qualified service technician.
