OPERATION

General

Use the following procedure to operate a Hatco Drawer Warmer.
Each drawer can be controlled and monitored individually using
the adjustable drawer vents for humidity control as well as the
POWER ON/OFF (I/O) switch, TEMPERATURE control knob,
and a temperature monitor.
WARNING
Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.
Startup
1. For freestanding units, plug the unit into a properly grounded
electrical receptacle of the correct voltage, size, and plug
configuration. See the SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
2. Move the POWER ON/OFF (I/O) switch(es) to the ON (I)
position.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE control knob(s) to the desired
setting(s). See the RECOMMENDED SETTINGS chart
on the control panel or the Food Holding Guide in this
section.
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.
BURN HAZARD:
• Some exterior surfaces on unit will get hot. Use caution
when touching these areas.
• Use caution when opening drawer. Hot air escapes
when drawer is open.
4. Allow unit 15–20 minutes to reach operating temperature.
5. Adjust the drawer vents for the desired humidity by sliding
the vent knob on the drawer front. Opening the vents all
the way allows maximum moisture to escape.
Drawer Vents
Drawer Vents
NOTE: Proper vent adjustment depends on the type and
amount of food held, as well as the frequency of drawer
opening.
NOTE: For additional moisture, water can be added
(approximately 6 mm [1/4"] of water) to the optional
water/spillage pan before inserting the food pan into
the drawer. Check water level periodically. Add water
as necessary. Use of splash baffle is recommended to
prevent water from splashing into the cabinet interior
when opening and closing a drawer. If hard water
is used, the pan will require periodic cleaning and
deliming. See MAINTENANCE section for deliming
instructions.
NOTE: Damage caused by water is not covered under warranty.
