INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD:
• Do not leave metal objects or utensils on or near
induction range. They may become hot.
• Use caution when wearing rings, watches, or other
ferrous objects around induction range. They may
become hot.
• Some exterior surfaces on unit will get hot. Use caution
when touching these areas.
Pan Specifications
Pans used with an Induction Warmer must meet the following
specifications:
• Made of material with magnetic properties (ferrous material)
- Enameled Steel Pans
- Cast Iron Pans
- Stainless Steel Pans
- Aluminum Pans w/ferrous base
• Proper size (measurements given are the pan bottom
diameter)
IWRM-C1-1317-06, IWRM-CD1-03
- Minimum = 4" (102 mm), Maximum = 13" (330 mm)
IWRM-CB1-1313-06
- Minimum = 4" (102 mm), Maximum = 12" (300 mm)
• Flat bottom
The following pans cannot be used with an Induction Warmer:
• Glass Pans
• Aluminum Pans without a ferrous base
• Earthenware Pans
• Ceramic Pans
• Copper Pans
NOTE: The Induction Warmer automatically detects if a pan
is induction-ready. If a pan is placed on the unit during
operation that is not induction-ready, temperature
setting indicator "1" will flash, and the unit will not
operate. See TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Startup
1. Before turning on the unit each day, clean the glass surface
using an appropriate cleaning wipe, damp paper towel, or
a damp cloth. CAUTION! Wipe up all spills and splashes
immediately. Make sure unit is dry before using. Do not
allow liquid to run into air inlet filter on bottom of unit.
NOTE: The unit can be turned off at any time by pressing the
NOTE: The cooling fan in the unit will not start until the unit gets
hot. Once the fan turns on, it will run until the unit cools.
2. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
3. Place an induction-ready pan on the unit. The Induction
Warmer will not operate without a pan centered inside the
warming zone pattern on the glass surface.
4. Press the
• The temperature setting indicators will illuminate to show
the current temperature setting. The unit will start up at
the same temperature setting from when it was last shut
down.
5. Press the
desired setting.
NOTE: Heat generation will stop automatically and the unit will
enter "standby" mode whenever a pan is removed from

Induction Warmer Food Holding Tips
Hatco Induction Warmers maintain holding temperatures very
efficiently and effectively. However, ambient conditions, food
type, and other factors play a critical role in the actual food
temperature. Use the following tips to ensure proper and
consistent holding temperatures.
• Cover food with a lid and stir often, if applicable.
Uncovered food product will lose heat quickly due to
ambient conditions like room temperature and active air
movement.
• Check food temperature regularly and make adjustments
to the temperature setting accordingly.
• Hold foods that are appropriate for the Induction Warmer.
A thick liquid product, like chili, that is held in a pan with
a lid and stirred frequently will hold temperature for
longer and much more consistently than uncovered fried
chicken pieces.
