IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the following important safety information before using this equipment to avoid
serious injury or death and to avoid damage to equipment or property.
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.
• The Vertical Surface Mounted Control box must be
mounted in a vertical surface. Mounting this control
box in a horizontal surface may result in the collection
of liquids and lead to electric shock.
• Turn OFF power switch, unplug power cord/turn off
power at circuit breaker, and allow unit to cool before
performing any cleaning, adjustments, or maintenance.
• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.
• This unit is not “jet-proof” construction. Do not use
jet-clean spray to clean this unit.
• Do not steam clean or use excessive water on unit.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace a damaged
power cord. The cord must be replaced by Hatco, an
Authorized Hatco Service Agent, or a person with
similar qualifications.
• Use only Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts when
service is required. Failure to use Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts will void all warranties and may
subject operators of the equipment to hazardous
electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.
Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts are specified to
operate safely in the environments in which they are
used. Some after-market or generic replacement parts
do not have the characteristics that will allow them to
operate safely in Hatco equipment.
FIRE HAZARD:
• Do not install units above or around combustible
surfaces. Discoloration or combustion could
occur. Units must be installed in non-combustible
surroundings only.
• Do not install strip heaters less than 254 mm (10″) above
non-combustible surfaces. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.

other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
Make sure all operators have been instructed on the safe
and proper use of the unit.
This unit is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.

condition. Operate unit without food product until smoke
dissipates.
To ensure safe and proper operation, refer to “Installation
Site Requirements” in the INSTALLATION section of this
manual.
NOTICE
Units are voltage-specific. Refer to specification label for
electrical requirements before beginning installation.
Do not add a decorative soffit to hide a pass-through
mounted strip heater. Excessive heat can cause unit
failure.
Install remote-mounted control box outside of areas
subject to temperatures above 40°C (104°F). Excessive
temperatures will cause controls to overheat, malfunction,
and fail.
Damage to any countertop material caused by heat
generated from Hatco equipment is not covered under
the Hatco warranty. Contact the manufacturer of the
countertop material for applicati on information.
Use non-abrasive cleaners and cloths only. Abrasive
cleaners and cloths could scratch the finish of the unit,
marring its appearance and making it susceptible to soil

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).
