"Commercial hot food holding cabinet" does not include heated glass merchandizing cabinets, drawer warmers, or cook-and-hold appliances.
IV. "Electricity ratio" means the ratio of furnace electricity use to total furnace energy use. Electricity ratio = (3.412*EAE)/(1000*EF + 3.412*EAE) where EAE (average annual auxiliary electrical consumption) and EF (average annual fuel energy consumption) are defined in Appendix N to subpart B of part 430 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations and EF is expressed in millions of BTUs per year.
V.
