INSTALLATION
General
Cold Shelves are shipped from the factory completely
assembled and ready for use. Use the following information
and procedures to prepare the unit and the installation site.
NOTE: Make sure the installation location provides enough
room for the condensing unit and the remote control box.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
• Plug unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. If
plug and receptacle do not match, contact a qualified
electrician to determine and install proper voltage and
size electrical receptacle.
• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors.
• Remote control box must be mounted on vertical wall
and installed in vertical position. Mounting remote
control box in horizontal position may result in
collection of liquids and lead to electric shock.
FIRE HAZARD: Install condensing unit with a minimum
of2″(51mm)ofspacebetweenallsidesofunitandany
combustible surfaces.
Locate the unit at the proper counter height in an area
that is convenient for use. The location should be level
and strong enough to support the weight of the unit and
contents.
NOTICE
Transport and install unit in upright position only. Failure
to do so may result in damage to refrigeration system.
This unit is designed for use in environments where ambient
temperature is between 65°F (18°C) and 86°F (30°C).
When shipped during cold weather months, store unit
for at least 10 hours in an environment where ambient
temperature is between 65°F (18°C) and 86°F (30°C) to
prevent compressor and/or refrigerant line damage. If unit
is turned on and there is excessive noise and vibration,
turn off immediately and allow additional warmup time.
Provide louvered or grill-style openings with a minimum
size of 12″ x 12″/144 square inches (31 x 31 cm/
961 square cm) in the cabinetry in front of and behind the
condensing unit for proper ventilation. Failure to provide
adequate air flow through the condensing unit may cause
unit failure and will void the unit warranty.
Do not recirculate exhaust air inside cabinet when multiple
condensing units are installed together. Intake air should
enter from outside of cabinet.
Do not locate unit in area with excessive air movement
around unit. Avoid areas that may be subject to active air
movements or currents (i.e., near exhaust fans/hoods, air
conditioning ducts, and exterior doors).
Do not locate unit in an area subject to excessive
temperatures or grease from grills, fryers, etc. Excessive
temperatures could cause damage to the unit.
Damage to any countertop material caused by heat or cold
generated from Hatco equipment is not covered under
the Hatco warranty. Contact manufacturer of countertop
material for application information.
All Cold Shelves are shipped in a shipping frame for protection
and stability. Keep the unit in the shipping frame until the unit
and the installation site are completely prepared for the unit to
be installed.
Survey the installation site. Take into account the need for
louvered or grill-style openings in the cabinetry to provide
proper ventilation for the condensing unit as well as access to
the control box. One of these ventilation openings must be in
front of the condensing coils with the other on the opposite side.
If multiple condensing units are installed in the same counter,
each unit should intake cool air and expel hot air.
1. Remove all external packaging from the unit.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage, complete
online warranty registration. See the IMPORTANT
OWNER INFORMATION section for details.
2. Remove tape, protective packaging, and literature from all
surfaces of the unit.
Preparing the Installation Site
1. Prepare the appropriate opening and mounting bolt holes
in the countertop for the unit being installed.
• For top mounted CSBF models, refer to the “Countertop
Cutout Dimensions — CSBF Models,” in this section.
• For bottom mounted CSSB and CSSBF models, refer to
the “Countertop Cutout and Mounting Bolt Dimensions —
CSSB and CSSBF Models,” in this section.
• For underside, surface mounted CSU models, refer to the
“Mounting Bolt Dimensions—CSU Models” in this section.
Make sure the countertop is a solid surface material with
good heat transfer characteristics, such as stainless
steel, granite, quartz, Corian®, etc... The thickness of the
NOTE: The performance of each type of solid surface material
will vary dependant upon the material’s characteristics.
2. If installing the remote control box, cut and drill the
appropriate holes in the vertical surface where the control
box will be installed. Refer to the “Installing the Remote
Control Box” procedure for cutout dimensions.
• The installation depth required for the control box is
3. Make structural modifications or add bracing underneath
the countertop to ensure the countertop will support the
weight of the unit and its contents.
4. Make sure the following cabinet interior specifications and
clearances are available:
• A level, stable surface for mounting the condensing unit
the cold shelf. Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section
for installation dimensions.
condensing unit and any combustible surface.
5. Cut two openings in the cabinetry to provide proper
ventilation for the condensing unit. Louvered or grill-style
panels should be installed in the openings to protect the
condensing unit.
or 144 square inches (961 square cm).
• One opening should be located in front of the condenser
coils with the other opening on the opposite side.
