The deli case can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):

Energy input rate (10.2),

Holding capacity (10.3),

Holding temperature calibration (10.3),

Preheat energy rate, (10.4),

Idle energy rate (10.5), and

Holding energy rate (10.6)

The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only
