Hatco GRAHL-18 Glo-Ray 18" High Watt Infrared Strip Heater with Lights, 470W, 120, 120/208 or 120/240V
Description
An 18-inch high watt heat strip with built-in display lights that keeps plated food hot and well lit at the pass.
The Hatco GRAHL-18 is an 18" Glo-Ray high watt strip heater with lights for a pass-through, heated shelf or serving line. A tubular metal-sheathed element and pre-focused reflector spread 470 W of infrared heat over the food, while 2 shatter-resistant coated incandescent bulbs light it for staff and guests. It is built for 120, 120/208 or 120/240V single phase, set at order; the dual-voltage versions run the lights on 120V and the heat on 208V or 240V. A toggle switch on the chef's left side is standard, and the unit is hardwired through a 36" flexible metal conduit.

Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 8 lb.
- A qualified electrician hardwires it to a grounded circuit of the correct voltage. Units are voltage specific; check the specification label and wiring diagram first.
- Use adjustable angle brackets for under-shelf mounting, or chains or tubular stands. Light bulbs are not covered by the warranty.
- If you add a remote control box (RMB), mount it outside the heat zone or the controls will be damaged.
- Clean it daily once it is off and cool: wipe with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry it. Never submerge or steam clean it.
