INSTALLATION
General
Built-In Hot/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 mounted
control box.
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 of
6″(152mm)ofspacebetweenallsides ofunitandany
combustible surfaces.
CAUTION
Locate unit at proper counter height in an area that is
convenient for use. The location should be strong enough
to support the weight of 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 Built-In Hot/Cold Shelves are shipped in a wooden frame for
protection and stability. Keep the unit in the wooden 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 panel. 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
