ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL CODES & STANDARDS:
The warmer must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States of America: 1. State and Local Codes. 2. National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA-70 (latest edition.) Copies may be obtained from: The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
In Canada: 1. Local Codes. 2. Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1 (latest edition.) Copies may be obtained from: The Canadian Standard Association, 178 Rexcale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.
: All warmers are equipped with a three-prong plug. It is imperative that this plug must be connected into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Verify that the power source matches the Serial Data Plate located on the lower back corner of the warmer and the plug configuration before the connection is made. (Fig. 1)
SERIAL DATA PLATE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS: The warmer is factory wired for either 110/120 volt or 208/240 volt, single phase operation. All 110/120 volt warmers are equipped with an 8 foot cord and NEMA 5-15 plug as standard equipment. All 208/240 volt warmers are equipped with an 8 foot cord and NEMA 6-15 plug. Refer to wiring diagrams in the back of this manual.
The cord and plug supplied is a suitable durable cord with a molded three-prong plug, and is provided with a proper strain relief.

CONTROLS
OPERATION
POWER LIGHT
The Warmer and its parts are hot. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the warmer.
The warmer Control Panel contains an operating indicator light and a full range thermostat. (Fig.2)
THERMOSTAT DIAL: The thermostat also acts as the On/Off switch to the warmer system. Turning the thermostat counter clock-wise until it stops will turn the warmer off.
POWER LIGHT: The power light turns on and off as the heating elements cycle.
THERMOSTAT DIAL (Fig. 2)
THERMOMETER
It is recommended that prior to placing the warmer into operation that it be preheated at the highest temperature setting for a period of 30 to 45 minutes .
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Warmer and its parts are hot. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the warmer.
Once the warmer has been connected to the appropriate power source, the warmer is ready for operation.
The warmers have one, two, three, or four drawers depending on the model purchased. Each drawer has a separate thermostat dial and thermometer.
Begin by turning the thermostat dial to the number 5. This will cause the heating element to start heating. When this occurs, the red operating indicator light will illuminate. This red light will stay on as long as the heating element is engaged. Once the predetermined temperature is achieved, the heating element will begin to cycle. During this period, the red operating indicator light will turn on and off as the heating elements cycle.

The thermometer will begin to move and indicate the interior temperature of the drawer. (Fig. 3)
(Fig. 3)
THERMOMETER
The greater the thermostat number setting, the higher the temperature. The lower the thermostat number setting, the lower the temperature.
F-31086 (01-16)
The thermostat setting is from 1 to 10. A chart of the thermostat setting and approximate temperatures is below. (Fig. 4)

(Fig. 4)
The operator should always monitor the food product to ensure that it remains at proper temperatures.
CRISP & MOIST KNOB: Each warmer drawer is equipped with a "CRISP & MOIST" knob. For example: If you want the food crispy side knob to the left. If you want more moisture, slide knob to the right. (Fig. 5)
Slide knob to left for crispy (vents are open and excess moisture can escape.)
Slide knob to right for moist (vents are closed and moisture is held in drawer.)

CLEANING
Always electrical power supply cleaning.
unplug before
The Warmer and its parts are hot. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the warmer.
DAILY:
1. Unplug electrical power supply.
2. Allow warmer to cool before cleaning.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
CLEANING: Stainless Steel contains 70 80% iron, which will rust if not properly maintained. Stainless Steel also contains 12 30% chromium, which forms an invisible passive, protective film that shields against corrosion.
If the protective film remains intact, the stainless steel will remain intact. However, if the film is damaged, the stainless steel can break down and rust.
3. Clean drawers and the interior of
the warmer with a mild soap and
water.
Never use harsh
chemicals or abrasive pads to
clean the warmer.
4. Rinse and dry with a soft dry cloth.
5. Clean the exterior of the warmer with a clean damp cloth.
HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING: For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm water, a degreaser, and a plastic, stainless steel, or Scotch-Brite pad. Never rub in a circular motion -- rub gently in the direction of the steel grain. Always rinse thoroughly
PREVENTIVE CARE: To prevent stainless steel breakdown, follow these steps:
1. Never use any metal tools, scrapers, files, wire brushes, or scouring pads (except for stainless steel scouring pads,) which will mar the surface.
2. Never use steel wool which will leave behind particles that will rust.
3. Never use acid-based or chloride containing cleaning solutions which will break down the protective film.
4. Never rub in a circular motion. Always rub gently in the direction of the steel grain.
5. Never leave any food products or salt on the surface. Many foods are acidic. Salt contains chloride

VW, VSL & VCW SERIES
PRESERVING & RESTORING: Special stainless steel polishing cleaners can preserve and restore the protective film.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a regular application of a high-quality stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore the stainless steel surface. First, thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a high-quality stainless steel polish according to manufacturer's instructions.
F-31086 (01-16)
HEAT TINT: Darkened areas, called "heat tint," may appear on stainless steel exposed to excessive heat. Excessive heat causes the protective film to thicken. This is unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint will require heavy-duty cleaning.
To reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of equipment to excessive heat.
