INTRODUCTION

Hatco Glo-Ray®Designer Infrared Foodwarmers ensure
maximum holding and minimize the risk of food-borne
illness. Optimum safety and quality is the result of food
held at the proper serving temperatures, using Glo-Ray’s
pre-focused heat patterns. The pre-focused heat pattern
prevents foods from being over-cooked in the middle
and cooling off around the edges by concentrating
higher temperatures to the outer edges of holding
surfaces where heat loss is the greatest. Utilizing
specially designed reflectors to direct the heat from the
element, Glo-Ray safely maintains peak serving
temperatures longer, without continuing to cook the
food.

The Glo-Ray Designer Foodwarmers are available with
or without shatter-resistant incandescent lights to
illuminate the warming area. These bulbs have a special
coating that guards against injury and food
contamination in the event of breakage.

This manual provides the installation, safety and
operating instructions for the Glo-Ray Designer Infrared
Foodwarmers. We recommend all installation, operating
and safety instructions appearing in this manual be read
prior to installation or operation of your Hatco
Foodwarmer. Safety instructions that appear in this
manual after a warning symbol and the words
WARNING or CAUTION printed in bold face are very
important. WARNING means there is the possibility
of serious injury or death to yourself or others.

CAUTION means there is the possibility of minor
or moderate injury. CAUTION without the symbol
signifies the possibility of equipment or property damage
only.

Hatco 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 thoroughly inspected and
tested prior to shipment.

CAUTIONS

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

2. 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.

3. Do not submerse unit in water.

4. Do not add a decorative soffit to hide a
pass-through mounted Glo-Ray Foodwarmer.

5. All electrical connections must be in accordance
with local electrical codes and any other
applicable codes. Connections should be made
by a qualified, licensed electrician.

6. Foodwarmers with incandescent lights that
require a circuit breaker larger than 20 amps
must have a separate circuit breaker for the
incandescent lights that is 20 amps or less.

CAUTIONS

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

2. The remote control box (RMB) must be
installed outside of the heat zone.

3. 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.

standards, specifically designed for food holding
areas must be used. Breakage of light bulbs not
specially coated could result in personal injury
and/or food contamination.

3. 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.

4. Do not install standard wattage foodwarmer
(GR2A & GR2AL Series) less than 17" (43 cm)
