1. Understanding the Control Panel

Your TS-DW5 cabinet is equipped with precision components to ensure consistent heat and perfect humidity for high-volume fast-food operations:

• German EGO Energy Regulators: The upper and lower heating elements are controlled by high-quality German EGO regulators, ensuring extreme temperature stability and a longer machine lifespan.

• Independent Dual-Tier Controls: You can control the heating elements and display lighting for the upper and lower tiers separately, allowing for flexible merchandising and energy savings.

• Advanced Water Management System:

  • Water Thermostat: Precisely controls the heating of the bottom water tray for humidity.

  • Low Water Indicator: A green LED safely warns your staff when the water level drops.

  • 3-Way Water Switch: Choose between Automatic Water Supply, Manual Refill, or Off.

2. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1: Install Accessories & Glass Panels

• Tool Hooks: Install the heavy-duty hooks into the side of the cabinet for convenient tong storage.

• Amber Glass (Merchandising Secret): Install the amber glass strips into the upper lampshades. This specialized tint makes fried foods look warmer, more golden, and irresistible to customers behind the counter.

• Window Panels: Slide the tempered glass panels into the front and rear tracks. (Note: Peel off the protective film from the acrylic side panels for a crystal-clear display!)

Step 2: Drainage Connection To prevent overflow and simplify cleaning:

1. Insert the overflow outlet device into the base.

2. Connect the drainage joint underneath the lowest level.

3. Attach the drain elbow to direct waste water to your floor drain.

Step 3: Water & Power Connection

• Water Supply: Connect a 1/2" stainless steel hose to the solenoid valve for automatic daily refilling.

• Power: Ensure the unit is properly grounded (Live, Neutral, and Earth) according to your local codes.

3. Professional Usage Tips for the TS-DW5

Maximize your food quality with this tier-based strategy:

• 💧 Lower Tier (Moist Foods): Use perforated trays. This level is closer to the water pan, keeping fried chicken, burger patties, and buns soft and juicy.

• 🔥 Upper Tier (Crispy Foods): Use solid trays. This area is ideal for items that need to stay extremely crunchy, such as french fries, hash browns, and onion rings.

• 🌡️ Temperature Recommendation: Maintain between 60°C - 70°C (140°F - 158°F) for food safety without drying.
