Hatco GR5A-42 Glo-Ray Curved Infrared Strip Heater, 42" W, 675 W, Standard Watt
Description
A slim curved strip heater that keeps buffet and serving-line food hot without crowding the look of the station.
The Hatco GR5A-42 is a 42" standard watt Glo-Ray curved infrared strip heater for front-of-house buffet and serving lines. The patented curved aluminum housing is only 2" high and 6" deep, and its pre-focused infrared heat covers the holding area evenly. It is rated 675 watts and runs on 120, 208 or 240V single phase, chosen at order. Angle brackets, 3 ft. of conduit and 5 ft. power leads are included; controls are remote mounted and chosen when you order.

Even infrared heat

Colors to match the room
Clear anodized is standard. Seven Designer colors and five Gloss finishes are options, with end panels and brackets in the unit color.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco requires a qualified electrician to install it to local electrical codes. Units are voltage specific, so check the label first.
- Fasten the angle brackets to the underside of the shelf with fasteners suited to the shelf; Hatco does not supply them.
- Keep the minimum clearances and do not hide it behind a decorative soffit; trapped heat can cause the unit to fail.
- Install it where the room stays at 70°F or warmer, away from exhaust hoods, air ducts and exterior doors.
- Clean it only when it is off and cool, with non-abrasive cleaners and cloths. Do not submerge it or soak it with water.
