INTRODUCTION

Hatco Glo-Max®Portable Foodwarmers are
designed to provide ideal heat patterns with precise
temperature control to ensure food quality and
safety. Pre-focused heat patterns prevent foods
from overcooking in the middle or cooling off around
the edges by concentrating higher temperatures to
the outer edges of holding surfaces where heat loss
is the greatest. Pre-focused heat patterns also
maximize food holding and minimize the risk of
food-borne illnesses. Hatco Portable Foodwarmers
safely maintain peak serving temperatures longer
without continuing to cook the food.

The Glo-Max Portable Foodwarmers include
incandescent lights to illuminate the warming area.

This manual provides the installation, safety, and
operating instructions for Glo-Max Portable
Foodwarmers. Hatco recommends all installation,
operating, and safety instructions appearing in this
manual be read prior to installation or operation of a
Portable Foodwarmer. Safety instructions that
appear in this manual after a safety alert symbol
and the words WARNING or CAUTION printed in
boldface are very important. WARNING means
there is the possibility of serious personal injury or
death to yourself or others. CAUTION means
there is the possibility of minor or moderate injury.
The word NOTICE signifies the possibility of
equipment or property damage only.

Hatco Glo-Max Portable Foodwarmers are a product
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.

WARNING

NOTICE

CAUTION

WARNING

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

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 and cleaning.

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

For safe and proper operation, the unit must
be located a minimum of 51 mm (2″) from
combustible walls and materials. If safe
distances are not maintained, discoloration
or combustion could occur.

To prevent any injury or damage to the unit,
do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.

This appliance is not jet-proof construction.
To assure safe and proper operation, DO
NOT use jet-clean-spray to clean this
appliance.

To prevent any injury or damage to the unit,
do not pull unit by power cord.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by Hatco, an Authorized
Service Agent, or a person with similar
qualifications to avoid a hazard.

The unit is not waterproof. DO NOT
submerge in water. Do not operate if it has
been submerged in water.

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.
It is essential to use Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts when repairing Hatco
equipment. Failure to use Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts may subject operators
of the equipment to hazardous electrical
voltage, resulting in electrical shock or
burn.

Some exterior surfaces on the unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas
to avoid injury.

Locate the unit at the proper counter height
in an area that is convenient for use. The
location should be level to prevent the unit
or its contents from accidentally falling and
strong enough to support the weight of the
unit and food.

Unit is not weatherproof. For safe and
proper operation, locate the unit indoors
where the ambient air temperature is
constant and is a minimum of 21°C (70°F).

Standard and approved manufacturing oils
will smoke up to 30 minutes during initial
start-up. This is a temporary condition. To
assure safe operation, operate unit without
food product until smoke dissipates.

To avoid the risk of fire, the base must be
secured to top housing before turning on
power.

If service is required on this unit, contact
your Authorized Hatco Service Agent, or
contact the Hatco Service Department at
414-671-6350; fax [phone].

This product has no “user-serviceable”
parts. To avoid damage to the unit or injury
to personnel, use only Authorized Hatco
Service Agents and Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts when service is
required.

Form No. GMFFLM-1207

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

Damage to countertop material such as Corian
and similar products caused by heat generated
from Hatco equipment is not covered under the
Hatco warranty. Contact the manufacturer of the
base material for application information.
