injury or death and to avoid damage to equipment or property.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
• Units supplied without an electrical plug require a
hardwired connection to on-site electrical system.
Connection must be properly grounded and of correct
voltage, size, and configuration for electrical specifications
of unit. Contact a qualified electrician to determine and
perform proper electrical connection.
• Turn OFF power switch, 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.
• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors where
ambient air temperature is a minimum of 21°C (70°F).
• Do not steam clean or use excessive water on unit.
• This unit is not "jet-proof" construction. Do not use jet-
clean spray to clean this unit.
• Do not clean unit when it is energized or hot.
• Do not allow liquids to spill into unit.
• 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 aftermarket or generic
replacement parts do not have the characteristics that will
allow them to operate safely in Hatco equipment.

and materials. If safe distances are not maintained,
discoloration or combustion could occur. Refer to specific
installation and mounting information in this manual for
proper clearances.
• Make sure to follow the installation information listed
below for specific strip heaters. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.
a. Do not install standard wattage strip heaters (GR, GRA,
GRN, GRL, and GRAL Series) less than 254 mm (10")
above combustible surfaces.
b. Do not install high wattage strip heaters (GRH, GRHL,
GRAH, GRNH, GRAHL Series) less than 343 mm
(13-1/2") above combustible surfaces.
c. Do not install dual strip heaters above combustible
surfaces.
e. Install all single strip heaters with a minimum distance
of 76 mm (3") from a combustible wall or adjacent
surface.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Make sure all operators have been instructed on the safe and
proper use of the unit.
Make sure food product has been heated to the proper food-
safe temperature before placing in unit. Failure to heat food
product properly may result in serious health risks. This unit
is for holding pre-heated food product only.
This unit must be serviced by qualified personnel only. Service
by unqualified personnel may lead to electric shock or burn.
This unit has no "user-serviceable" parts. If service
is required on this unit, contact an Authorized Hatco
Service Agent or contact the Hatco Service Department at
(0512) 6732-5091.
BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on the unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.
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.
Strip heaters equipped with incandescent lights that require a
circuit breaker larger than 20 amps for the heat element must
have a separate circuit breaker for the incandescent lights that
is 20 amps or less.
To ensure safe and proper operation, refer to the Clearance
Requirements listed in the Installation section of this manual.
I
nstallation 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.
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.
To prevent premature failure of components due to excessive
heat, remote mounted control switches must be installed
outside the strip heater heat zone.
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 application 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 accumulation.
IMPORTANT—DO NOT use paper towel or glass cleaner to
clean plastic surfaces. Paper towel and glass cleaner may
scratch the material. Wipe off plastic surfaces using a soft,
clean, water-dampened cloth.
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).
