INTRODUCTION
Hatco Flav-R-Fresh® Holding and 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
food texture longer than conventional dry holding
equipment.
The Flav-R-Fresh® 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
food. The air flow rate enables the cabinet to
recover temperature rapidly after opening and
closing the door.
This manual provides the installation, safety,
and operating instructions for the Flav-R-Fresh®
Holding and Display Cabinets. Hatco recommends
all installation, operating, and safety instructions
appearing in this manual be read prior to installation
or operation of your Hatco Holding and Display
Cabinet. Safety instructions that appear in this
manual after a safety alert symbol
and the words
WARNING or CAUTION printed in boldface 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. The
word NOTICE signifies the possibility of equipment
or property damage only.
Hatco Flav-R-Fresh® Holding and Display Cabinets
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Form No. FDWDM-1207
1
IMPORTANT! Read the following important safety information to avoid personal injury
or death, and to avoid damage to the equipment or property.
For safe and proper operation, 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 and install the proper voltage and
size electrical outlet.
To avoid any injury, turn the POWER switch
OFF, unplug the unit from the power source,
and
allow
to
cool
completely
before
performing any maintenance or cleaning.
Overfilling can cause electrical shock. The
water reservoir is full when “LO H2O” stops
flashing on the CABINET TEMPERATURE
display. Stop filling when “LO H2O” stops
flashing on the display.
To avoid any injury, turn the POWER switch
OFF and allow the unit to cool before
draining.
To prevent any injury, discontinue use if
power cord is frayed or worn.
To prevent any injury or damage to the unit,
do not pull unit by power cord.
To avoid any injury or damage, the unit
must be serviced by qualified personnel
only.
Only light bulbs that meet or exceed NSF
standards and are specifically designed for
food holding areas may be used. Breakage
of light bulbs not specially coated could
result
in
personal
injury
and/or
food
contamination.
For safe and proper operation, the display
cabinet must be located 2″ (51 mm) from
combustible walls and materials. If safe
distances are not maintained, discoloration
or combustion could occur.
Holding food at temperatures less than
140°F
(60°C)
may
be
dangerous.
Temperatures under 140°F (60°C) promote
the growth of harmful bacteria and toxins in
some foods.
Hatco Corporation is not responsible for the
actual food product serving temperature. It
is the responsibility of the user to assure
that the food product is held and served at
a safe temperature.
WARNING
If service is required on this unit, contact
your Authorized Hatco Service Agent or
contact the Hatco Service Department at
800-558-0607 or 414-671-6350; fax 800-690-
2966; or International fax 414-671-3976.
This product has no “user-serviceable”
parts. To avoid damage to the unit or injury
to personnel, use only Authorized Hatco
Service
Agents
and
Genuine
Hatco
Replacement
Parts
when
service
is
required.
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.
It
is
essential
to
use
Genuine
Hatco
Replacement Parts when repairing Hatco
equipment. Failure to use Genuine Hatco
Replacement Parts may subject operators
of the equipment to hazardous electrical
voltage, resulting in electrical shock or
burn.
Some exterior surfaces on the display
cabinet will get hot. Use caution when
touching these areas to avoid injury.
To avoid any injury or damage, locate the
display cabinet 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.
Unit is not weatherproof. For safe and
proper operation, locate the unit indoors
where the ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 70°F (21°C).
The unit must be transported in an upright
position. Before moving or tipping the unit,
secure all glass surfaces with tape. The
water must be drained from the unit also.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the
unit or personal injury.

MODEL DESIGNATION
Water Quality Requirements – Incoming water in
excess of 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon
(GPG) (0.75 grains of hardness per liter) must be
treated and softened before being used. Water
containing
over
3.0
GPG
(0.75
GPL)
will
decrease
the
efficiency
and
reduce
the
operating life of the unit.
Use
non-abrasive
cleaners
only.
Abrasive
cleaners could scratch the finish of your Flav-R-
Fresh® Holding and Display Cabinet, marring its
appearance and making it susceptible to soil
accumulation.
NOTICE
Do not use deionized water. Deionized water will
greatly shorten the life of the water pan and
heating element.
