Specifications

Rail setup and food storage

The included sixth-size pans are 4 inches deep; the rail also accommodates sixth-size pans up to 6 inches deep. Keep every position covered with properly fitted pans and dividers so cooled air stays beneath the ingredients. Do not use damaged pans or leave gaps in the rail.

Pre-chill ingredients to 37°F or below before placing them in the rail. Keep the cover closed when not preparing food. For extended non-active periods, wrap the food pans as well as closing the cover, or move sealed ingredients to appropriate cold storage. Load the lower cabinet with pre-cooled food in covered containers, leaving room around air inlets, outlets and interior surfaces for circulation.

Drawer pan arrangements

The lower drawer accommodates 6-inch-deep pans. The upper drawer accepts a full-size pan in either orientation at 4-inch depth. For a 6-inch-deep full-size pan in the upper drawer, orient it left to right; two 4-inch-deep quarter-size pans fit behind it. The HS-5433 divider bar is recommended for this layout.

Confirm pan and divider compatibility and the items included with the selected configuration. Open only one drawer at a time, avoid overloading and keep the tracks free of food.

Installation and operation

Install indoors on a firm, level floor away from ovens, grills and other high-heat equipment. Keep ventilation openings unobstructed, retain the factory rear bumpers and leave at least 10 inches above the rail hood for the cover to open. Check the full installed footprint and door or drawer travel before fitting the table into the preparation line.

Use a properly grounded, independent 115V outlet matching the NEMA 5-15P plug; do not use an extension cord. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle. R290 is flammable. Provide at least 3.1 m² (33.5 sq. ft.) of room floor area. Have a qualified installer verify the delivered-unit nameplate, required room size and supplied installation instructions.

Do not load the top panel with more than 20 lb. Keep items stable and secure so they cannot fall, and do not stand, climb or hang on the appliance. Secure the cutting-board brackets and board after installation or cleaning.

Cleaning and maintenance

Move food to suitable cold storage and unplug the table before cleaning. Use mild soap or detergent and warm water for the cabinet interior and gaskets. Wipe stainless steel with a soft cloth and a suitable neutral cleaner. Do not use steel wool, abrasive products or chlorine bleach, and do not pour or spray water into the appliance.

Remove and clean the cutting board and the surface beneath it as often as needed to maintain a sanitary work area. Refit the board securely in its brackets. Wipe spills from the rail, hood and cover promptly; support the cover while cleaning and protect your hands from metal edges. Remove the pans to wipe the spill guard with a damp cloth and neutral cleaner.

Inspect the condenser twice a year and clean it with a brush or vacuum as needed; demanding conditions may require more frequent attention. Follow the supplied instructions for safe rear-panel access. Keep drawer slides clean where fitted; they do not require lubrication.
