In order to maintain established National Sanitation Foundation
standards, all stationary floor models must be sealed to the floor
with a R.T.V. or silastic meeting N.S.F. requirements or have
6" (153mm) unobstructed clearance beneath the unit.
Counter and table units must be mounted on legs of a sufficient
4" (102mm) height to provide minimum unobstructed space
beneath the unit. These legs are supplied with the unit. Warranty
will become null and void if these directions are not followed.
Save all the information and instructions packed inside the
display case. Complete and return the warranty card to the factory
as soon as possible to assure prompt service in the event of a
warranty parts and labor claim.
NOTE: Any and all claims for warranty must include the full model
and serial number of the display case.

1. DO NOT ADD WATER TO DISPLAY CASE
Halo Heat display cases maintain a constant but gentle
temperature and eliminate much of the moisture loss associated
with conventional display cases. Because of this gentle heat,
it is not necessary to add water to the display case. As a matter
of fact, adding water is not recommended since water will
accelerate the deterioration of the product, and may damage
the unit voiding the warranty.

2. PLACE DIVIDERS and SERVING PANS IN CASE
Refer to the pan layout diagrams for different types of pan
accommodations. A complete pan configuration layout is
located in this manual. It is VERY important to note, no
matter what type of pan configuration chosen, pan separator
bars or divider bars must be used to close all gaps between
pans, and all gaps between the pans and the edges of the
display case. If these gaps are not closed, heat will escape from
the bottom of the case into the display area. As a
consequence, heat distribution will be uneven and uniform
temperature will be difficult to hold. If needed, additional pan
divider bars are available.
3. TURN DISPLAY LIGHTS "ON" AND SET THE
THERMOSTAT(s) AT NUMBER "10" TO PREHEAT
A indicator light will illuminate when the thermostat(s) is (are)
turned "ON." The indicator(s) will remain lit as long as the unit
is preheating or calling for heat. The unit should be preheated,
at the number 10 setting, for a minimum of thirty minutes
before loading the case with hot food. When preheating is
completed, or whenever the unit reaches any temperature set
by the operator between 1 and 10, the indicator light(s) will
go "OUT".
4. LOAD HOT FOODS INTO DISPLAY CASE
Be certain only hot food is transferred into the display case.
Before loading food into the case, use a pocket-type meat
thermometer to make certain all products have reached an
internal temperature of 140° to 160° F (60° to 71°C). If
any food product is not at proper serving temperature, use a
Halo Heat cooking and holding oven, set at 250° to 275°F
(121° to 135°C), or a Combitherm oven to bring the product
within the correct temperature range.
Use hand protection when handling hot items.
Be certain only hot PREPACKAGED foods in appropriate
heat tested containers are used in the self-service section of
the display case.
Do not stack food containers.
5. RESET THERMOSTAT(S) AS NEEDED
After all products are loaded into the display case and the doors
are closed, it is necessary to reset the thermostat(s). For fully
enclosed sections, reset the thermostat to the number "8"
setting. Cases with a self-service section should be maintained
between number "9" and number "10" for the self-service
section only.
THESE SETTINGS WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE FINAL.
Since proper temperature range depends on the type of
products and the quantities being held, it is necessary to
periodically use a pocket thermometer to check each item
to make certain the correct temperatures are being
maintained. Proper temperature range is between a minimum
of 140° and 160° F (60° and 71° C). Normally, this will require
a thermostat setting of between number "6" and "8" in fully
enclosed cases. Self-service cases or sections will always
require a higher thermostat setting.
