STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn Power to ON
2. Preheat merchandiser for 10 minutes before
loading.
3. Load fully cooked / heated foods only (internal
product temperatures > 160°F). Case is not
designed to heat food.
4. Use only approved hot food containers in direct
contact with shelves; Do NOT stack containers.
5. Check internal product temperature periodically,
using a pocket food thermometer.
6. Adjust *SHELF-Setpoint as needed to maintain
ideal Internal Product Temperatures:
(1) Press SET key,
(2) Press UP ARROW / DOWN ARROW keys to
change *SHELFSetpoint,
(3) Press SET key again.
• When increasing *SHELF-temperatures, heat
food in a separate cooking/warming oven, then
reload.
NOTES
:
* Controller temperature indicates SHELF-
temperature only (not Internal product
temperature).
- Shelves are pre-set to 185°F, suitable for many
foods in approved containers. Do not overheat
as containers may melt.
- Refer to Instruction Manual for detailed
operating instructions.
- Refer to NSF- and local- regulations for internal
product temperature requirements.
- SERVICE: Review the Trouble Shooting Guide
in this manual. For heated component failures,
contact HATCO Parts and Service at

Operation

• Food must be preheated BEFORE loading;
this case MUST NOT be used to cook or heat
product.
• Check Internal Product Temperatures (IPTs)
periodically with a portable food thermometer
• Do not stack containers.
• Be careful not to overheat as containers may
melt.
• When restocking, rotate food products: oldest
foods should be placed in front and served first.
• Wipe spills immediately to maintain product
freshness, minimize odors, reduce end-of-day
cleanup (See Maintenance Section).
Adjustment
• Use a pocket food thermometer regularly to
check internal product temperatures.
• Before adjusting shelf temperatures, ensure only
pre-heated foods are being loaded into the case.

• Temperature controls should be adjusted to the
lowest possible setting that will maintain proper
internal product temperature.
• See troubleshooting guide if, after adjustment,
pre-heated product does not maintain
regulatory temperature.
