INTRODUCTION

Hatco Flav-R-Savor®Portable Holding Cabinets are designed to
hold prepared foods for prolonged periods of time while
maintaining that “just-made” quality. They provide the best
environment for food products by regulating the air temperature
while at the same time balancing the humidity level. The use of
controlled, moisturized heat maintains serving temperature and
food texture longer than conventional dry holding equipment.

The Flav-R-Savor air flow pattern is designed to maintain
consistent cabinet temperature without drying out foods. The
precise combination of heat and humidity creates a “blanket”
effect around the food. The air flow rate enables the cabinet to
rapidly recover temperature after opening and closing the door.

Flav-R-Savor Portable Holding Cabinets are products of
extensive research and field testing. The materials used were
selected for maximum durability, attractive appearance, and
optimum performance. Every unit is inspected and tested
thoroughly prior to shipment.

This manual provides the installation, safety, and operating
instructions for a Flav-R-Savor Portable Holding Cabinet. Hatco
recommends all installation, operating, and safety instructions
appearing in this manual be read prior to installation or
operation of the unit.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD:

• Plug unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. If
plug and receptacle do not match, contact a qualified
electrician to determine and install proper voltage and
size electrical receptacle.

• Turn OFF power switch, unplug power cord, and allow
unit to cool before performing any cleaning,
adjustments, or maintenance.

• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.

• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors where
ambient air temperature is a minimum of 70°F (21°C).

• This unit is not “jet-proof” construction. Do not use jet­clean spray to clean this unit.

• Do not steam clean or use excessive water on unit.

• Turn power switch OFF and allow unit to cool before
draining water reservoir.

• Do not pull unit by power cord.

• Discontinue use if power cord is frayed or worn.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace a damaged power
cord. Cord must be replaced by Hatco, an Authorized
Hatco Service Agent, or a person with similar
qualifications.

• This unit must be serviced by qualified personnel only.
Service by unqualified personnel may lead to electric
shock or burn.

• Use only Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts when
service is required. Failure to use Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts will void all warranties and may
subject operators of the equipment to hazardous
electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.
Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts are specified to
operate safely in the environments in which they are
used. Some aftermarket or generic replacement parts
do not have the characteristics that will allow them to
operate safely in Hatco equipment.

FIRE HAZARD: Locate unit a minimum of 1″ (25 mm) from
combustible walls and materials. If safe distances are not
maintained, combustion or discoloration could occur.

Make sure food product has been heated to the proper
food-safe temperature before placing in unit. Failure to
heat food product properly may result in serious health
risks. This unit is for holding pre-heated food product only.

Hatco Corporation is not responsible for actual food
product serving temperature. It is the responsibility of the
user to ensure that food product is held and served at a
safe temperature.

Make sure all operators have been instructed on the safe
and proper use of the unit.

This unit is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
Ensure proper supervision of children and keep them away
from the unit.

This unit has no “user-serviceable” parts. If service is
required on this unit, contact an Authorized Hatco Service
Agent or contact the Hatco Service Department at
800-558-0607 or 414-671-6350; fax [phone]; or

BURN HAZARD:

• Some exterior surfaces on unit will get hot. Use caution
when touching these areas.

• Turn off unit and allow it to cool before draining water
from water reservoir.

Locate unit in an area that is convenient for use. The
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.

to leak onto floor and create a slipping hazard.

Transport unit in upright position only. Make sure all water
is drained prior to transport.

Do not lay unit on side with control panel or damage to unit
could occur. Make sure all water is drained prior to laying
unit on its side.

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

Use of distilled water in the water reservoir of humidified
units is recommended to preserve the life of electrical and
mechanical components. If non-distilled water is used, the
reservoir will require periodic cleaning and deliming (refer
to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning procedure). Unit
failure due to lime or mineral deposits is not covered under
warranty.

Do not use deionized or reverse osmosis water. It will
shorten the life of the water pan and heating element.

Clean unit daily to avoid malfunctions and maintain
sanitary operation.

OPERATION

General

Use the following procedures to operate a Flav-R-Savor
Portable Holding Cabinet.

Read all safety messages in the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION section before operating this equipment.

Startup

1. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.

2. Move the POWER ON/OFF (I/O) switch to the ON (I)
POSITION. The heating system will start up.

• The CABINET TEMPERATURE monitor will show the
current temperature of the cabinet.

• The LOW WATER indicator will illuminate until the water
reservoir is filled.

BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on the unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.

Use of distilled water in the water reservoir of humidified
units is recommended to preserve the life of electrical and
mechanical components. If non-distilled water is used, the
reservoir will require periodic cleaning and deliming (refer
to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning procedure). Unit
failure due to lime or mineral deposits is not covered under
warranty.

Do not use deionized or reverse osmosis water. It will
shorten the life of the water pan and heating element.

NOTE: Unit failure caused by deionized or reverse osmosis

water is not covered by warranty.

3. On humidified units, fill the water
reservoir with clean water. To fill the
reservoir:

a. Verify drain valve is in closed

position.

b. Lift up the WATER FILL cup cover

and pull forward.

c. Slowly pour the water into the cup until the LOW WATER

indicator no longer illuminates.

NOTE: On the initial fill, the water reservoir capacity is 80

ounces or 2-1/2 quarts (2.3 liters).

®

Do not overfill water reservoir. Overfilling can cause
electrical shock.

Controls

4. On humidified units, set the HUMIDITY Control to the desired
level. See the “Food Holding Guide” for recommendations.

• The HUMIDITY CYCLE indicator will illuminate until the
interior of the cabinet reaches the selected humidity setting.

The reservoir capacity permits uninterrupted operation for
approximately 4-8 hours, depending on the settings and how
frequently the door is opened. When the red Low Water
Indicator is lit, add water to the reservoir. The water reservoir
refill capacity is approximately 48 ounces (1.5 liters).

WARNING! Electric Shock Hazard — Do not overfill water
reservoir.

5. Set the TEMPERATURE Control to the desired temperature.
See the “Food Holding Guide” for recommendations.

6. Allow 30 minutes to preheat the cabinet with a full pan of
water before loading preheated food product.

• The CABINET TEMPERATURE Monitor shows the
current temperature inside the cabinet.

NOTE: Temperature and humidity settings may vary depending

upon product make-up and consistency. The cabinet
temperature indicator displays the lowest temperature
point inside the cabinet, not the product temperature.

NOTE: FSHC-7 Series units can be factory equipped with an

optional audible Low Water alarm. Add water to the
reservoir until the alarm shuts off.
