The specified safe distance must be maintained between the heat lamp and any wall or countertop surfaces that are wooden or
combustible. If the safe distance is not maintained, discoloration or combustion can occur, causing personal injury or damage to
countertop, wall and heat lamp. If proper distances are maintained, all foods shall be kept at their ideal serving temperatures
without over-cooking.
NOTE: The control switch box should be located and/or labeled so that it is clear to the operator which control switch box
operates its corresponding heat lamp.
If a heat lamp is to be installed over a steam table, please see below for Eagle Group's recommended installation heights.
Standard Wattage Heat Lamps
There must be 10˝ minimum distance between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top of the combustible work surface and no less
than 8˝ between the bottom of the lamp and the top of a non-combustible work surface. There must be a 10˝ minimum distance
between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top surface of a steam table or heat-generating surface. There must also be a 1˝ clearance
from top of heat lamp.
High Wattage Heat Lamps
There must be 16˝ minimum distance between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top of the combustible work surface and no less
than 8˝ between the bottom of the lamp and the top of a non-combustible work surface. There must be a 16˝ minimum distance
between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top surface of a steam table or heat-generating surface. There must also be a 1˝ clearance
from top of heat lamp.
Maintain a 7˝ minimum distance from rear and side walls that are considered combustible for both standard and high watt units.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the unit, do not use the top surface of the heat lamp as a storage surface,
