OPERATION
General
Use the following procedures to operate Slim Drop-In Heated
Wells.
WARNING
Read all safety messages in the Important Safety
Information section before operating this equipment.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:
• DO NOT use unit to melt or hold ice. Doing so may
cause condensation, creating an electrical hazard and
causing personal injury and/or damage to unit. Damage
caused by condensation is not covered by warranty.
• For units without Auto-Fill, turn off unit when filling
with water and avoid splashing.
NOTICE
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.
Unit must be allowed to cool down to room temperature
before changing from wet-to-dry or dry-to-wet operation.
Allowing unit to run dry during wet operation or adding
water during dry operation will damage unit.
Hatco Slim Drop-In Heated Wells are designed for WET or DRY
operation. Hatco recommends wet operation for consistent
food heating. If the unit is operating wet and is allowed to run
dry, turn it off and allow to cool before adding water.
Startup
1. Prepare the heated wells for operation.
• If using the wells for dry operation, make sure the wells
are clean and dry.
• If using the wells for wet operation without Auto-Fill,
make sure the drain valve is closed (if equipped) and
manually fill the wells with hot tap water until the water
is a maximum of 1-1/4" (32 mm) deep.
• If the unit is equipped with the Auto-Fill option, make
sure the drain valve is closed.

2. Move the Power I/O (on/off) switches to the I (on) position.
The indicator light on each switch glows when it is on.
• If the unit is equipped with the Auto-Fill option, the far
left Power I/O (on/off) switch will activate the Auto-Fill
system when it is moved to the I (on) position. The well(s)
will fill with water until the water reaches the water level
sensor in the far left well. During operation, the Auto-Fill
system will maintain the water level automatically using
the water level sensor.
NOTE: For HWBI-S4 units equipped with Auto-Fill, turn on
the left-hand control first, then turn on the right-hand
control.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Knobs to the desired safe
food temperature.
WARNING
Hatco Corporation is not responsible for actual food
product serving temperature. It is the responsibility of the
user to ensure food product is held and served at a safe
temperature.
4. Allow the unit to preheat for approximately 30 minutes.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.
Food Warming
Place the appropriate size food pans with pre-heated food
product into the heated wells.
• Always use a food pan. Do not place food directly into
the heated well.
• Stir thick food items frequently to keep food heated
uniformly.
• Keep pans covered to maintain food quality and
temperature.
Shutdown
1. Move the Power I/O (on/off) switches to the O (off) position.
The indicator light on the switches will shut off and the
Auto-Fill system will be deactivated (if equipped).
