FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
Free-Standing Forced Convection Food Holding Cabinets
The Crisp n’ Hold provides a heated stream of air to maintain fried food temperature and freshness for
a specified period of time after cooking. Forced air is heated through an electric resistance heater and
ducted to a food grate. The heated air is discharged through small circular openings in the bottom of
the grate and through a slotted opening located front top to provide a warm blanket of air over the
food. Additionally, the grate has small round embossments to minimize hot metal contact with the
food. The PCF14 & PCF18 are free-standing floor models on casters, so they can be moved for con-
venience and cleaning. Swivel front casters have brakes Controls are located in the cabinet below the
.
warmer for easy access.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug which must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of elec-

water. Do not operate if unit has
been submerged in water.
WARNING—Improper use of the grounding can result in
