INTRODUCTION
Hatco Glo-Ray®Max Watt Strip Heaters ensure
maximum food holding and minimize the risk of foodborne 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 Strip Heaters safely
maintain peak serving temperatures longer without
cooking the food beyond the point of excellence.
Glo-Ray Max Watt Strip Heaters are available from the
factory 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.
Glo-Ray Max Watt Strip Heaters 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.
Additional information can be found by visiting our
web site at www.hatcocorp.com.

operating instructions for Glo-Ray Max Watt Strip
Heaters.Hatcorecommendsallinstallation,

these areas.
Standard and approved manufacturing oils may
smoke up to 30 minutes during initial startup.
This is a temporary condition. Operate unit
without food product until smoke dissipates.
Light-equipped strip heaters that require a
circuit breaker 20 amps or larger must be
installed with a remote control enclosure
containing a fuse rated at 20 amps or less for the
light circuit.
To ensure safe and proper operation, refer to the
“Minimum Clearance Requirements” listed in
the INSTALLATION section of this manual.
Installation of two or more separate units with
less than 3″ (76 mm) between housings may
result in premature failure of component parts.
Failure to provide proper spacing may result in
heat damage to electrical components.
To prevent unit failure, do not add a decorative
soffit to hide a pass-through mounted strip
heater.
To prevent premature failure of components due
to excessive heat, remote mounted control
boxes must be installed outside the strip heater
heat zone.
Heat damage to countertop material such as
Corian®andsimilarproducts (other than
stainless steel) is not covered under the Hatco
warranty. Contact the manufacturer of the base
material for temperature limits and application
information before installing the unit.

Hatco Glo-Ray®Max Watt Strip Heaters keep hot
foods at optimum serving temperatures longer.
Foods do not dry out or become discolored; even
the most delicate dishes hold that “just-prepared”
look. The Glo-Ray pre-focused heat pattern directs
heat from a tubular element to bathe the entire
holding surface.
Glo-Ray max watt strip heaters are constructed with
aluminum housings in lengths of 18″ (457 mm) to
144″ (3658 mm).
Dual models allow for side-by-side mounting of two
heating elements to provide a wider holding area
(dual models are constructed with a standard 3″ [76
mm] or optional 6″ [152 mm] spacer between
heating elements).
All Glo-Ray Max Watt Strip Heaters have several
mounting options and switch locations. Optional
infinite control switches, electronic infinite control
switches, remote control enclosures, incandescent
lighting, and halogen lighting are available.
