INSTALLATION
General
Hatco Intelligent Heated Display Cabinets are shipped with
most components installed and ready for operation. Care
should be taken when unpacking shipping carton to avoid
damage to unit and the components enclosed. The following
installation instructions must be performed before connecting
electricity and operating the cabinet.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Unit is not weatherproof.
Locate unit indoors where ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 70°F (21°C).
FIRE HAZARD:
• Locate unit a minimum of 1" (25 mm) from combustible
walls and materials. If safe distances are not maintained,
discoloration or combustion could occur.
• Do not place anything on top of unit.
Locate unit at proper counter height in an area that is
convenient for use. Location should be level to prevent
unit or its contents from falling accidentally and strong
enough to support the weight of the unit and contents.
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires that
units over 36" (914 mm) in width or weighing more than
80 lbs. (36 kg) either be sealed to or raised above the
installation surface.
1. Remove the unit from the shipping carton.
2. Remove tape and protective film from all surfaces of unit.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage,
complete online warranty registration. See the
IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION section for
details.
3. Place the unit in the desired location. Two or more people
are required for this procedure.
• Locate the unit in an area where the ambient air
temperature is constant and a minimum of 70°F
(21°C). Avoid areas that may be subject to active air
movements or currents (i.e., near exhaust fans/hoods,
air conditioning ducts, and exterior doors/openings).
• Make sure the unit is at the proper counter height in an
area convenient for use.
• Make sure the countertop is level and strong enough to
support the weight of the unit and food product.
4. Seal the unit to the countertop using an NSF-approved
sealant.
NOTE: A shut-off valve must be installed on the water supply
line immediately upstream from the water filter and unit.
NOTE: Incoming water pressure for the unit must be between
20 psi (138 kPa) and 50 psi (345 kPa). If incoming
pressure is too high, a pressure regulator must be
installed upstream from the water filter. See OPTIONS
AND ACCESSORIES for details.
5. Connect the on-site water supply from the shut-off valve to
the included water filter.
NOTE: Make sure to note the flow direction arrow on the water
filter, which should be pointing toward the unit.
CAUTION
6. Flush the water filter to remove loose carbon particles.
Residual particles from a new filter can affect the humidity
system.
a. Connect the included 1/4" clear tubing to the water outlet
on the filter, and place the opposite end of the tube into
a waste container.
b. Turn on the water supply and flush the filter into the
container until the water is clear of carbon particles.
7. Connect the 1/4" clear tubing from the water outlet on the
filter to either fitting on the included water strainer.
• The fittings on the water strainer are "push-in"-style
connections for 1/4" plastic tubing.
8. Connect the water strainer to the 1/4" water inlet fitting on
the back of the unit.
• The water inlet fitting is a "push-in"-style connection for
1/4" plastic tubing.
9. Provide a catch pan for the overflow drain pipe on the back
of the unit.
• The 3/8" overflow drain pipe also can be connected to an
on-site drain line. Consult a licensed plumber for proper
drain installation that conforms to local codes.
NOTE: Water will drain only if a problem occurs with the water
supply connection. During normal operation, all water
will be atomized into the cabinet by the humidity system.

BURN HAZARD: Do not remove or adjust atomizer pans
when unit is hot. Allow unit to cool completely before
working with atomizer pans.
10. Verify that each atomizer pan is in the proper position.
NOTE: The humidity system includes two atomizer pans, one
on each side of the unit underneath the vent cover at the
front of the unit. These pans are loose and may have
moved out of position during shipping and installation.
a. Remove the vent cover located along the bottom, front of
the unit by reaching in through the rear sliding doors.
b. Inspect the position of the atomizer pans on each side of
the unit.
• The handle of the atomizer pan should be aligned
vertically with the top edge of the opening.
c. If the handle is pushed into the unit too far:
• Remove the atomizer pan, reposition on top of the pan
supports, and push the pan toward the back of the unit
on the pan supports until it stops against the backstop.
