INTRODUCTION

Hatco Flav-R-Savor®Large Capacity Display Cabinets are
designed to hold prepared foods for prolonged periods of time
while maintaining that “just made” quality. Hatco Holding and
Display Cabinets provide the best environment for food
products by regulating the air temperature while at the same
time balancing the humidity level. The use of controlled
moisturized heat maintains serving temperature and texture
longer than conventional holding equipment.

The Flav-R-Savor air flow pattern is designed to maintain
consistent cabinet temperature without drying out foods. The
precise combination of heat and humidity creates a “blanket”
effect around the fo od. The air flow rate enables the cabinet to
recover temperature rapidly after opening and closing the door.

Hatco Large Capacity Display Cabinets 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 Large Capacity Display Cabinets. 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 is used to address practices not related to personal
injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTICE

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.

• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors where
ambient air temperature is a minimum of 70°F (21°C).

• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.

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

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

• 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. The cord must be replaced by Hatco, an
Authorized Hatco Service Agent, or a person with
similar qualifications.

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

• Do not overfill water reservoir. Overfilling can cause
electrical shock.

• 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 1″ (25 mm) from
combustible walls and materials. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.

Use only light bulbs that meet or exceed National
Sanitation Foundation (NSF) standards and are specifically
designed for food holding areas. Breakage of light bulbs
not specially-coated could result in personal injury and/or
food contamination.

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 the unit.

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

Make sure food product has been heated to the proper
food-safe temperature before placing in unit. Failure to
heat food product properly may result in serious health
risks. This unit is for holding pre-heated food product only.

Hatco is not responsible for the actual food product
serving temperature. It is the responsibility of the user to
ensure that the food product is held and served at a safe
temperature.

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; fax [phone]; or
International fax [phone].

BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.

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

Transport unit in upright position only. Before moving or
tipping unit, secure all glass surfaces, doors, pan rails,
and/or skirts with tape, and drain water from humidified
units. Failure to do so may result in damage and injury.

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires that
units over 36″ (914 mm) in width or weighing more than 80
lbs. (36 kg) either be sealed to or raised above the
installation surface. If unit cannot be sealed at the point of
use, accessory 4″ (102 mm) legs are available to allow for
proper cleaning access below unit.

Do not lay unit on the side with the control panel. Damage
to unit could occur.

Use of distilled water in the water reservoir of humidified
units is recommended to preserve the life of electrical and
mechanical components. If non-distilled water is used, the
reservoir will require periodic cleaning and deliming (refer
to the MAINTENANCE section for cleaning procedure). Unit
failure due to lime or mineral deposits is not covered under
warranty.

Do not use deionized water. Deionized water will shorten
the life of water reservoir and heating element.

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.

Clean unit daily to avoid malfunctions and maintain
sanitary operation.
