CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

Hatco Flav-R-Savor®Heated Air Curtain Cabinets
are designed to hold prepared foods for prolonged
periods of time while maintaining that “just-made”
quality.

Hatco Heated Air Curtain Cabinets force warm air
through ducts down the cabinet opening, creating
and maintaining ideal holding temperatures without
the use of doors. The heated air is slowly drawn to
the back of the cabinet, warming the food as it flows
to the perforations on the back cabinet wall. The
Heated Air Curtain allows for immediate access to
food products, as well as the best environment for
wrapped, and other sheet pan foods.

Flav-R-Savor® Humidified Heated Air Curtain is
used to control moisturized heat maintaining serving
temperatures and textures longer than conventional
dry holding equipment.

upright position. If laid on its side, the water
must be drained from the unit.

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)
requires that units over 36" (914 mm) in
length or weighing more than 80 lbs. (36 kg)

operation the unit must be located indoors
where the ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 70°F (21°C) and a maximum of
85°F (29°C).

To assure proper operation and to avoid
damage to the unit, the incoming water
supply pressure must be at least 35 psi
(241 kPa) and not to exceed 80 psi (552 kPa).

To assure proper operation and to avoid
damage to the unit, the incoming water
supply temperature must not exceed 140°F
(60°C).

IMPORTANT! Read the following important safety instructions to avoid personal injury or
death, and to avoid damage to the equipment or property.

WARNINGS

not match, contact a qualified electrician to
determine the proper voltage and size and
install the proper electrical outlet.

To avoid any injury, turn the power switch
OFF, unplug the unit from the power source
and allow to cool completely before
performing any maintenance or cleaning.

For safe and proper operation, the unit must
be located a reasonable distance from
combustible walls and materials. If safe
distances are not maintained, discoloration or
combustion could occur.

CAUTIONS

Use only non-abrasive cleaners. Abrasive
cleaners could scratch the finish of your unit
marring its appearance and making it
susceptible to soil accumulation.

To assure proper operation and extend the
life of humidified models utilizing the auto-fill
system, the water filter cartridge must be
installed in the water supply line.

Do not use de-ionized water. De-ionized water
will greatly shorten the life of the water
heating elements and plumbing components.

Water Quality Requirements - Incoming water
in excess of 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon
(GPG) (.75 grains of hardness per liter) must
be treated and softened before being used.
Water containing over 3.0 GPG (.75 GPL) will
decrease the efficiency and reduce the
operating life of the unit.

Do not over tighten plumbing connections.
Over tightening may cause leaks.
