IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS
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
the proper voltage and size and install the proper
electrical outlet.

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

To prevent any injury, discontinue use if power
cord is frayed or worn.

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. Do not locate unit under shelving or closer
than 12" (305 mm) from the ceiling.

Allow a minimum of 1" (25 mm) clearance along
the sides. Allow a clearance of 26" (660 mm) along
the front and rear discharge (if equipped)
to ensure proper operation and safety.

Model TF-2030 is designed for “pass-through”
use only. To avoid burning or charring
of materials, adequate clearance must
be maintained from front and back openings.

PROGRAMMING HINTS:

• On menu items in which internal temperatures
are critical (such as chicken or pork), the primary
heat source comes from the bottom. On menu items
in which the surface temperatures are critical (such
as cheese melting), the primary heat source comes
from the top. See Recommended Food Finishing
Guide for specific menu examples.

• When performing product testing, heat three plates
with the same food product in succession. Adjust
program accordingly to achieve optimum
product temperature.

• When testing a menu item not listed in the
Recommended Food Finishing Guide start by
dividing the conventional cooking time by three and
use that number as your cooking time. Set top and
bottom heat at 50% and adjust accordingly if needed.
Program setting will vary based on model and food
product.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL

The Hatco Thermo-Finisher™warmers are designed
for maximum durability and performance
with minimum maintenance.

WARNING
To avoid any injury, turn the power switch OFF,
unplug the unit from the power source and allow
to cool before performing any maintenance.

CLEANING – EXTERIOR

To preserve the bright finish of the unit,
it is recommended that the exterior surfaces
be wiped daily with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains
may be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner
or a non-abrasive cleaner.

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

BLOWER MOTORS

up and clean off if necessary.

CLEANING – INTERIOR

scraper” and scrape loose any food debris that has
accumulated on the glass.

CAUTION

purposes. Doing so may cause injury or damage
to the unit.

Remove any stains from the heating surfaces by wiping
off the glass using a moist cloth and “ceramic cooking
top cleaner.”
