WARNING: Do not allow combustible materials to be stored or accumulate on, under, or next to the cabinet. Do not block any ventilation louvers or slots.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the stainless pan with water if proofing, or if you desire a small amount of passive humidity while in heated holding mode.
2. Your cabinet has a 3-way power/selector switch that powers the cabinet on and off and also allows dual functionality. For heated holding mode set the switch to “hold” (up);  for proofing mode set it to “proof” (down); to power, the unit down set it to “off” (middle).
3. Heated holding mode (selector switch set to “hold”)
   • Set thermostat at desired setting in red holding range, number 7 is approximately 150°F (66°C), and 10 is approximately 190°F (88°C).
   • Monitor temperature read-out on the thermometer and adjust the thermostat to fine-tune as necessary.
4. Proofing mode (selector switch set to “proof”)
   • Set thermostat at desired setting in blue proofing range. Approximate temperature yields are below, each yields a pre-determined humidity level.
   – Number 1 is approximately 85°F (30°C)
   – Number 2 is approximately 95°F (35°C)
   – Number 3 is approximately 105°F (41°C)
   • Monitor temperature read-out on the thermometer and adjust the thermostat to fine-tune as necessary.

Note: When the switch is set to hold or proof, the fan is always energized. In order to power off the fan and the unit, set the switch to “off” (middle).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before proceeding with any maintenance activity strictly follow “Safety Information” on page 2 of this manual.

Cleaning The Cabinet
WARNING: Unplug the cabinet before cleaning or servicing. Do not wash the cabinet with a water jet or high-pressure water.
CAUTION: Do not spray or pour water into the control enclosure. To clean the cabinet, wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a towel. Use only cleaning agents approved for  Aluminum.
CAUTION: Do not use cleaners with chlorides or phosphates as they may cause damage to Stainless Steel & Aluminum.

1. Make certain that the cabinet has cooled down before cleaning. Use cleaners in proper concentrations. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the cleaning product used.  After using any cleaning products, thoroughly rinse all surfaces to remove residue.
2. Use a damp cloth or sponge. Mild soap suitable for Aluminum is acceptable. Dry with a clean towel. Wipe up spills as soon as possible and regularly clean the cabinet to avoid staining and difficult-to-clean conditions.

Cabinet Maintenance — All Models
Keeping the casters free of dirt build-up will go a long way in prolonging their life. Additionally, periodic tightening of the door latch and hinge screws may be required.

Regularly inspect the casters. Tighten loose fasteners and replace worn or damaged parts with new InterMetro-approved parts. Replace worn or damaged casters immediately. Additionally, periodic tightening of the door latch and hinge screws may be required.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: Only factory-approved service agents must attempt to service, repair, or replace electrical components, wiring, or power cord.

1. Controls do not work (no heat being generated or fan does not run):

• Check that the cabinet is plugged-in.
• Check that the outlet has power.
• Check that the power switch is in the “On” position.
• Check the cabinet wiring from the power cord to the power switch and to the thermostat.
• For holding, make sure in HOLD mode. For proofing, make sure in PROOF mode.

2. Temperature too hot:
a. During initial pre-heat, the cabinet may overshoot the set point.
b. If the displayed temperature exceeds 220°F (104°C):

• The blower wiring is faulty or disconnected. The blower needs replacing.
• The thermostat may have failed and the thermal cut-out device is controlling the temperature.
• The thermal cut-out device may have failed.

3. Temperature too low:
a. The cabinet may still be in pre-heat or recovering from the door being opened.
b. Door is not closed or sealing properly.
c. Worn outdoor gasket. Replace gasket.
d. Blower is not circulating air:
◦ Blower wiring is faulty or disconnected.

4. No heat generated
When power is on and in HOLD mode, the amp draw for 120V units should be approximately 16 amps and 8 amps for 220-240V models. In PROOF mode, 120V amp draw  should be approximately 6.0 amps and 3.0 amps for 220-240V models

• Air heater element may be faulty.
• The wiring to the air heater element may be faulty or disconnected.
• The thermostat may be faulty.
• The thermal cut-out may be open or have a disconnected wire coming to it or going from it to the element.

REVERSING THE DOOR

The door on your cabinet can be reversed to accommodate a right- or left-hand opening. The cabinet has been shipped with the hinges mounted on the right-hand side. To  reverse, follow the instructions listed below:

1. With the door in the closed position, remove the hinge pin by driving it out using a hammer and a drive pin or small-diameter screwdriver.
2. Once the pins are removed grasp the door firmly and pull the latch lever, this will release the door. Set the door aside being careful not to damage the gasket.
3. Remove the screws from the left side of the cabinet and set them aside. Then remove the cabinet-mounted part of the hinge and remount to the left side of the cabinet. Put the screws removed from the left side of the cabinet into the remaining holes on the right side of the cabinet. Tighten all screws before proceeding.
4. Relocate the latch plate(s) from the left side to the right by removing the two mounting screws. Tighten all screws before proceeding.
5. Rotate the door 180 degrees and align the door-mounted hinge part with the cabinet-mounted hinge part and tap the hinge pin into place so the top of the pin is flush with the top of the cabinet-mounted hinge part. Invert the door latch by removing the black plastic screw covers and remove the screws holding the latch in place.
