WARNINGS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
As is the case with most kitchen equipment, your CVap hold & serve drawer should be used with caution. Please read the following warnings to avoid injuries.
DANGER: Electrical Hazard Can cause serious injury or death >> Do not attempt to service this equipment unless you are a licensed electrician or trained servicer.
Because this equipment utilizes high voltage, it should only be serviced by a licensed electrician or trained servicer. Attempting to service the equipment yourself could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries. Please make this page available to the servicer.
If an electrical shock is felt when touching equipment, shut off power immediately (either pull power cord or turn off circuit breaker) and call a trained servicer for repair. Failure to do so could result in serious, potentially fatal injuries.
Always turn power switch off when equipment is not in use.
Equipment only to be operated with supplied cord, plug, and hoses. Components to be replaced only with Winston-supplied components.
Wire (ground) lug on rear of equipment to be used for connection of equipotential conductor device.
WARNING: Burn Hazard Can cause serious injury >> Avoid heated vapor when opening or closing equipment door.
This equipment utilizes heated water vapor, which transfers heat much more quickly and efficiently than dry air of the same temperature. Use caution when opening drawers or reaching into the equipment, as heated vapor can quickly cause burns.
WARNING: Contamination Hazard Can cause serious illness or damage to equipment >> Clean equipment daily to avoid potential contamination hazard.
Clean equipment daily to prevent buildup of food residue or chlorides, which can also damage stainless steel and contaminate food. Failure to follow proper cleaning procedures can void your warranty.
Prior to using equipment for the first time, perform the daily cleaning procedure listed on page 4.
WARNING: Safety Hazard Can cause serious injury or damage to equipment >> Supervise untrained, young, or handicapped persons.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a person \ responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the equipment.
WARNING: Safety Hazard, Intended Use Can cause serious injury or damage to equipment >> Supervise untrained, young, or handicapped persons.
- This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.
- This equipment is intended to be used for commercial applications, for example in kitchens of restaurants, canteens, hospitals and in commercial enterprises such as bakeries, butcheries, etc., but not for continuous mass production of food.
CAUTION: Electrical Hazard Can cause injury >> Do not connect equipment to an external switching device.\
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this equipment must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
CAUTION: Burn Hazard Can cause injury >> Allow 30 minutes for equipment to cool before attempting to clean.
Always allow equipment to cool before cleaning to avoid potential burns.
CAUTION: High Temperature & Grease Hazard Can cause damage to equipment >> Avoid placing equipment near high heat or in grease-laden atmosphere.
Do not place equipment in areas where air temperature exceeds 100˚F (38˚C). A heat shield may be required to prevent heat exposure and grease-laden vapors from affecting the equipment if near heat, vapor, or grease generating devices (such as grills, steamers, ovens, etc.). Excess heat and grease inside the equipment cavities may cause electrical components to fail.
In order to operate properly, the evaporator in this equipment must be filled with clean, potable water.
WATER FILL PROCEDURE The CVap® HBB hold and Serve drawer can be filled with water via the Easy Fill Spout located on the front of the unit. Simply pour warm water into the spout until the unit is filled to the appropriate level before turning on the power. Refer to page 4 for specific water requirement instructions.
CAUTION: Burn Hazard Can cause injury
If automatic water fill is not installed, the unit will require refilling at various points during use. WARNING: do not overfill the unit. Overfilling can create a vacuum causing hot water to splash out of the Easy Fill Spout onto the user.
- Locate the Easy Fill Spout on the front of the unit.
- Visually inspect the water level inside the spout.
- If water is not visible at the bottom of the Easy Fill Spout it is time to top off the water level to ensure the unit continues to operate properly.
- If the unit is filled correctly, water will be just visible at the bottom of the fill spout.
- If the water level inside the Easy Fill Spout is filled half way up the spout or more, the unit is too full. Open the drain and allow water to drain until the water level is barely visible at the bottom of the Easy Fill Spout.
GENERAL INSTALLATION
Install equipment on a solid, flat, level surface in a location where ambient temperatures will not exceed 100ºF and away from grease laden vapors from other equipment. For proper ventilation of the equipment, allow 2 inches clearance on all sides, particularly around any ventilation holes. Plug the equipment into a properly grounded outlet of the correct amperage as indicated by the Equipment ID Label. Please read detailed installation instructions that follow.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
In order to operate properly, the evaporator in this equipment must be filled with clean, potable water. As water evaporates, minerals in the water will deposit on the surface of the evaporator. These mineral deposits will inhibit the transfer of heat. Deposits can also degrade and damage stainless steel. To avoid mineral deposits clean the equipment daily. It is advisable to contact your water utility for advice on minimizing deposit buildup.
CAUTION: High Temperature Hazard Can cause damage to equipment >> Fill evaporator with water prior to turning power on, and do not allow evaporator to run dry.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN DRY. HEAT DAMAGE TO THE WATER VALVE MAY RESULT.
The maximum incoming water temperature may not exceed 140°F (60°C).
For locations with hard water, add one tablespoon (15ml) of white vinegar or lemon juice to water to help minimize scale buildup. Please consider contacting your local water authority to obtain advice on possible water treatment to protect the equipment. Some water supplies are high enough in chemical content to be capable of damaging stainless steel (if used untreated). The evaporation process can concentrate the chemicals in the water to a level which could cause a damaging reaction with the stainless steel.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
Ventilation Clearances: To operate properly, the equipment will need sufficient space for air circulation. Allow at least 2″ (51mm) clearance on all sides, particularly around ventilation holes. Care should be taken to prevent placing the equipment close to anything combustible. It must be installed with its supplied feet or legs. Equipment may be stacked upon each other using only a Winston supplied stacking kit and following the instructions enclosed with the kit. Your warranty may be void if you do not adhere to these ventilation requirements.
CAUTION: High Temperature & Grease Hazard Can cause damage to equipment >> Avoid placing equipment near high heat or in grease-laden atmosphere.
Do not place equipment in an area where ambient temperature (air temperature around the equipment) exceeds 100°F (38°C). A heat shield may be required to prevent excessive heat exposure and grease-laden vapors from affecting the equipment if adjacent to heat, vapor, or grease generating devices (such as grills, steamers, ovens, etc.). Excess heat and grease inside the equipment cavities may cause electrical components to fail.
Vent Hood: Generally this equipment does not need to be installed under a mechanical ventilation system (vent hood). Check local health and fire codes for requirements specific to your location.
