INTRODUCTION

Hatco Induction Ranges offer a safe, quick, efficient, and
attractive way to prepare foods in commercial kitchens as
well as display cooking locations (omelet bars, buffets, etc...).
The high efficiency, accuracy, and speed of induction cooking
make Hatco Induction Ranges the perfect choice for quality
foodservice organizations.

Induction cooking relies on the creation of a magnetic field
between the induction coils below the glass surface of the
unit and an “induction-ready” pan sitting on top of the glass
surface. This magnetic field generates induction currents in
the base of the pan, which heat the pan instantly. That heat
then is transferred to the pan contents. Since the magnetic field
exists only between the induction coils and a magnetic material
(ferrous material), the glass surface between the two does not
become heated, eliminating heat loss and increasing efficiency.
When the magnetic field is “broken” by turning off the unit or
removing the pan, heat generation stops instantly.

Hatco Induction Ranges 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 Hatco Induction Ranges. Hatco recommends
all installation, operating, and safety instructions appearing in
this manual be read prior to installation or operation of a unit.

Safety information that appears in this manual is identified by
the following signal word panels:

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal
injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

Read the following important safety information before using this equipment to avoid serious
injury or death and to avoid damage to equipment or property.

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. Do not allow
liquids to spill into unit. 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).

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

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

• Do not clean unit when it is energized or hot.

• 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 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 2″ (51 mm) from combustible

walls and materials. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.

• Do not obstruct air ventilation openings on bottom of
unit. Unit combustion or malfunction may occur.

• Do not place unit near or underneath curtains or other
combustible materials. Items near or above unit could
catch fire causing injury and/or damage to unit.

EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not heat unopened containers
of food on unit. Sealed, heated containers may burst open.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE HAZARD: This
unit generates close-range electromagnetic fields. It has
been designed to meet the applicable standards for non­interference with other electronic devices. Make sure other
electronic devices in the vicinity, including pacemakers
and other active implants, have been designed to meet
their corresponding applicable standards. As a precaution,

do not operate unit or come within 12ʺ (305 mm) of unit

with a pacemaker or other active implant.
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 unit.

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

BURN HAZARD:

• Do not leave metal objects or utensils on or near
induction range. They may become hot.

• Use caution when wearing rings, watches, or other
ferrous objects around induction range. They may
become hot.

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

Do not block or restrict air flow to air intake or exhaust
openings on bottom of unit.

Do not store anything on top of unit.
Locate unit at proper counter height in an area that is

convenient for use. Location should be level to prevent
unit or its contents from falling accidentally and strong
enough to support weight of unit and contents.

NOTICE

Plug unit into a dedicated, 15 A circuit. Do not use multiple
appliances on same circuit.

Never use aluminum foil on induction range. Aluminum foil
will melt and damage unit.

Do not place objects with magnetic properties (credit cards,
cassette tapes, etc...) on or near unit during operation.

Use only wipes, pads, and cleaners designed specifically
for cleaning ceramic glass surfaces.

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.

This unit is intended for commercial use only—NOT for
household use.

All Models

Hatco IRNG Series Induction Ranges models are portable,
countertop induction ranges. They are equipped with a single
induction coil underneath a ceramic glass cooking surface.
Each model features a glass touch control panel with a Menu
Button, a Timer Button, a Control Knob, and a control display.

All Induction Ranges include an attached 72″ (1829 mm) power

cord with plug.

NOTE: Refer to “Pan Specifications” in the OPERATION section

of this manual for details on “induction-ready” pans,
pans not suitable for induction cooking, and pan sizes.

Hatco IRNG Series Induction Ranges have several safeguards
built in to each unit that ensure protection to the unit as well as
the operators.

• A cross-flow fan ventilation system ensures that the
electronic circuits in the unit do no overheat. Temperature
probes monitor the electronic circuits and will signal the
unit to shut down if the circuits get too hot.

• A temperature probe in the cooking zone monitors the
zone temperature. This probe detects overheating in the
cooking zone due to an empty pan.

• Electronic circuitry in the cooking zone detects when a
small, ferrous object (such as a fork, spoon, or ring) is
placed on the unit, and the unit will not operate.
