IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
English
Use only light bulbs that meet or exceed National
Sanitation Foundation (NSF) standards and are specifically
designed for food holding areas. Breakage of light bulbs
not specially coated could result in personal injury and/or
food contamination.
This unit is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
Ensure proper supervision of children and keep them away
from the unit.
Make sure all operators have been instructed on the safe
and proper use of the unit.
For installation with chains, make sure the chains have
sufficient strength and are securely fastened to both the
strip heater and the mounting location. Poorly installed
chains may cause the heater to loosen and fall. Do not
place anything on top of heaters installed with chains.
BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on unit will get
hot. Avoid unnecessary contact with unit.
Standard and approved manufacturing oils may smoke up
to 30 minutes during initial startup. This is a temporary
condition. Operate unit without food product until smoke
dissipates.
Light-equipped strip heaters that require a circuit breaker
20 amps or larger must be installed with a remote control
enclosure containing a fuse rated at 20 amps or less for
the light circuit.
Ensure safe and proper operation. Refer to the “Minimum
Clearance Requirements” listed in the Installation section
of this manual.
Damage to countertop material such as Corian
®
and similar
products caused by heat generated from Hatco equipment
is not covered under the Hatco warranty. Contact the
manufacturer of the countertop material for application
information.
Remote mounted control boxes must be installed outside
strip heater heat zone to prevent premature failure of
components due to excessive heat.
Installation of two or more separate units with less than 3″
(76 mm) between housings may result in premature failure
of component parts. Failure to provide proper spacing may
result in heat damage to electrical components and are not
covered by warranty.
Use non-abrasive cleaners only. Abrasive cleaners could
scratch the finish of the unit, marring its appearance and
making it susceptible to soil accumulation.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
• Units supplied without an electrical cord and plug
require a hardwired connection to the on-site electrical
system. Connection must be properly grounded and of
the correct voltage, size, and configuration for the
electrical specifications of the unit. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine and install the proper electrical
connection.
• Turn power OFF at fused disconnect switch/circuit
breaker and allow unit to cool before performing any
maintenance, adjustments, or cleaning.
• For hardwired units, all electrical connections must be
in accordance with local electrical codes and any other
applicable codes. Connections should be made by a
qualified, licensed electrician.
