INSTALLATION
General
Under-Counter Induction Warmers are shipped completely
assembled and ready for use. They must be surface mounted
underneath a non-metal, solid material countertop with a layer
of plywood in between (no cutout is required). Care should be
taken when unpacking the shipping carton to avoid damage to
the unit and components enclosed.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Unit is not weatherproof.
Locate unit indoors where ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 70°F (21°C) and a maximum of 124°F (51°C).
FIRE HAZARD:
• Make sure to follow the installation information listed
below for specific Induction Warmers. If safe distances
are not maintained, discoloration or combustion could
occur.
a. Locate built-in unit with a minimum of 2" (51 mm)
between front, sides, and bottom of unit and any
interior surface.
b. Locate built-in unit with a minimum of 6" (152 mm)
between back of unit and any interior surface.
• Do not obstruct air ventilation openings on sides and
bottom of unit. Unit combustion or malfunction may
occur.
• Do not place unit near or underneath curtains or other
combustible materials. Items near or above unit could
catch fire causing injury and/or damage to unit.
Do not block or restrict air flow to air intake or exhaust
openings on bottom 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 weight of unit and contents.
CAUTION
Preparing the Installation Site
The unit is designed to be installed to the underside of a
solid material countertop. IMPORTANT! Make sure that
the installation location allows access to the the unit for
maintenance and cleaning after it has been installed to the
countertop. Other specifications include:
• Make sure a grounded electrical receptacle of the correct
voltage, size, and plug configuration is within reach of the
unit's 71" (1800 mm) power cord inside the cabinet. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
• Make sure a vertical surface for control panel installation
is available in the cabinet within reach of the 79"
(2000 mm) control cable that connects the control panel to
the Induction Warmer.
• Make sure a minimum clearance of 2" (51 mm) will be
available between the front, sides, and bottom of the unit
and any interior surface.
• Make sure a minimum clearance of 6" (152 mm) will be
available between the back of the unit and any interior
surface.
• Make sure the solid material countertop extends a minimum
of 8" (203 mm) beyond each side of the installed under-
counter unit.
NOTE: Avoid areas that may be subject to active air
movements or currents (i.e., near exhaust fans/hoods,
air conditioning ducts, and exterior doors).
Ventilation Requirements
Proper ventilation of the cabinet housing an under-counter unit
is required to prevent over-heating the electronics in the unit.
Proper ventilation provides cool, intake air to the front of the unit
and an escape for the hot, exhaust air from the back of the unit.
• For standard installations, each installed unit requires
a ventilation opening with a minimum size of 2" x 10"/20
square inches (5 x 25 cm/129 square cm) behind the air
exhaust openings on the back of the unit, starting no more
than 2" (51 mm) down from the top of the unit. Additional
2" x 10"/20 square inch (5 x 25 cm/129 square cm)
ventilation openings are required in the front of the cabinet
for each installed unit to provide cool intake air. Louvered or
grill-style panels should be installed in the openings.
• For installations where the cabinet is against a wall or
no rear ventilation is possible, keep the front control-
side of the cabinet open. If the front cannot be left open,
install two ventilation openings in the front panel of the
cabinet, one at the bottom of the cabinet and one near
the control panel at the top of the cabinet. Each opening
must be a minimum size of 2" x 10"/20 square inches
(5 x 25 cm/129 square cm). If more than one unit is
installed in a cabinet, take into account the ventilation
requirements for each unit when determining the number
and/or size of the ventilation openings. DO NOT install
a shelf, partition, or any other equipment inside the
cabinet underneath the unit—the space must remain
wide open for air circulation.
NOTE: Make sure the interior temperature of the cabinet does
not rise above 124°F (51°C) while the Induction Warmer
is operating. If the temperature rises too high, additional
ventilation openings or the installation of a ventilation
fan will be required.
