Unopened Hot Top2 sauces are shelf stable and should be stored at room
temperature. Before opening, however, the temperature of the sauces must
be raised above 140oF:
• Cheese can be held above 140°F for 5 days or below 40°F for 7 days.
• Chili can be held above 140° F for 7 days or below 40° F for 7 days.
*Sauce may discolor after the allotted time for serving.*
Notes:
• Remove valve and replace cap on bag during refrigerated storage.
• If refrigerated, sauce must be cooled to 70°F in two hours and 40°F in four
hours. To achieve this, bags may have to be shaken periodically while cooling.
• When reheating after refrigeration, sauces must reach 165°F within two
hours. This can not be accomplished in the dispenser; alternate methods are
required to reheat the sauce.
Gehl's recommends keeping the sauce heated in the dispenser 24 hours
per day for maximum food safety.

How to Use
How to Care for Hot Top2
1. Wipe down the outside of the dispenser with a damp clean cloth then dry
with a paper towel.
• Nonabrasive cleaning solutions can be used to maintain the appearance.
2. Remove and clean the valve guard once per day.
• Clean in detergent, scrub, rinse, sanitize, air dry and slide back onto the
dispenser.
3. Wipe down the inside of the holding pan.
• Before cleaning, unplug and allow the pan to completely cool down.
Preparation
1. Before loading, plug the Hot Top2 dispenser into any 120 volt outlet.
2. Preheat bags of cheese/chili sauce to 140˚ F before opening.
3. The Dispenser may remain plugged in overnight so sauce is always heated.
Once a bag is opened, the sauce must be kept heated or refrigerated.
4. At the beginning of each day, dispense and discard 1oz. of sauce. Remove
the valves and clean thoroughly, or replace with clean, sanitized valves.

How to Use (cont.)
Serving Steps
1. Preheat 1 or 2
bags of sauce
to 140 degrees.
(Use one bag
for a single dispenser, two
bags for a dual.) If the bags you are
using have perforated corners, tear
along perforations. Set the preheated
bags on their backs, then remove
caps with the cap opener or a bottle
opener.
2. Before using any valve for the first
time, disassemble the valve and
spray the barrel with Canola Oil
where indicated (see "How to Clean
the Serving Valve", page 6.)
3. Firmly push a serving valve into the
spout of each bag and screw down
its plastic ring until it is tightly secured.
Spout
must be facing
away from the
center of the bag.
Dispenser Weights
6. Slide each valve down so that the
edges of the pan fit between the
red lines on
the
valve.
Push
the
valve all the
way down to
the bottom of
the pan.
7. Place another bag of sauce or the
dispenser weight on top of each serving bag.(See "Dispenser Weight",
page 5)
8. Insert the removable spacer inside the front edge of the pan.
Slide the spacer down so that it
grips the pan and maintains
proper spacing. This spacer helps
keep the valves from sticking.
Single
Dual
Singe Hot Top2 dispenser are designed to keep two bags of sauce warm;
dual dispensers keep four bags warm. The bottom bags dispense sauce,
while the top bags are used to force the sauce out of the bottom bag.
If your movement of sauce is less than 1 bag every two days, Dispenser
Weights should be used in place of the top bags. This reduces the number
of days that the top bag stays heated, and increases the life of the sauce.
Dispenser Weight
Bag Replacement
1. When sauce flow begins to slow down, remove the top bag or weight
and reposition the serving bag so that all the sauce is able to
dispense. (Grab end of bag and squeeze sauce towards valve.)
2. When the sauce stops dispensing, take the empty bag out and
remove the serving valve. Place the clean valve on the second bag
and repeat steps 4-9 in the Serving Steps section.
3. The serving valve needs to be disassembled and cleaned before
each use. When finished cleaning the serving valve, save the valve
for the next bag replacement.
4. Open the dispenser by lifting the
dispenser lid up and out.
5. Lower a heated
bag into each side
the dispenser with
two hands, one
hand holding the
bag along its
seam, while the
other hand is used
to guide the valve
into place. The valve should be facing downward.
9.The valve guard
must be cleaned
daily. To remove,
pull the guard forward. After cleaning the valve guard,
slide it back onto
the dispenser.
Checking the HoldingTemperature
1. Gehl's Hot Top2 Dispensers are designed to hold sauces above 140degrees Fahrenheit, with the lid and valve guard in place. Always
make certain these pieces are in place while using the
dispenser.
10.Replace the lid and begin serving.
pg. 4
2.To properly check the holding temperature, remove the valve from a
heated bag and insert a thermometer directly into the bag. Measuring
the temperature of a dispensed sample will not give an accurate
reading, since sauces cool rapidly when served.
