INSTALLATION

General

Use the information in this section to prepare for and install
an Infra-Black Strip Heater. Make sure to locate the specific
®
information for the type of installation. Infra-Black Strip Heaters
are shipped with most components pre-assembled. Dual units
are supplied with a required 3" (76 mm) or 6" (152 mm) spacer
pre-assembled at the factory.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Unit is not weatherproof.
Locate the unit indoors where the ambient air temperature
is a minimum of 70°F (21°C).
FIRE HAZARD: Do not install unit above or around
combustible surfaces. Discoloration or combustion
could occur. Unit must be installed in non-combustible
surroundings only.
CAUTION
Ensure safe and proper operation. Refer to the "Minimum
Clearance Requirements" listed in the INSTALLATION
section of this manual.
NOTICE
Damage to countertop material such as Corian
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.
NOTE: Contact the countertop manufacturer of the base
material for application information and surface
temperature limits before installing the unit.
1. Remove the unit from the shipping carton and remove all
packing materials.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage,
complete online warranty registration. See the
IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION section for
details.
2. Remove tape and protective packaging from all surfaces
of the unit.
NOTE: If the unit is configured with optional equipment, see
the OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES section in this
manual.
3. Refer to the appropriate mounting procedure in this section
for the desired mounting style.
Dual Mounting
When mounting units side-by-side, a space not less than
3" (76 mm) must be maintained between units. Dual units
ordered from the factory are shipped with a pre-assembled
3" (76 mm) or 6" (152 mm) spacer.
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.
Under Shelf Mounting
When mounting a unit under a shelf, use adjustable angle
brackets to assure proper spacing. Remote control enclosures
are recommended to keep switches out of the heat zone and
prevent premature failure.
Pass-Through
If pass-through area is under 9 1/2" (241 mm) deep, a single
unit can be used. For a 10" to 19" (254 to 483 mm) deep
pass-through area, a dual unit is recommended. Installation
of multiple units must have a minimum spacing of 3" (76 mm)
between strip heaters.
Over Steam Table
and similar
®
When mounting over a steam table, a remote control enclosure
must be installed.
