Description
Two 36" infrared warmers side by side with display lights, for a 15" deep pass-through or holding area that needs even top heat.
The Hatco GRAHL-36D3-120QS is a Glo-Ray high watt dual aluminum infrared strip heater with lights: two 36" warmers mounted side by side with a 3" spacer between them, 15" deep and 2-1/2" high. Pre-focused heat from metal-sheathed elements covers the whole holding surface, and 3 coated shatter-resistant incandescent lights show off the food. It is rated 1,780 W. It is set up for 120V single phase. A toggle switch on the chef's left side is standard, and power comes in through 3 ft. of conduit with leads at the server's right. This is the Hatco Quick-Ship configuration, item AHL36D120V: 120V, built-in toggle switch and conduit.

Plan a dedicated 120V circuit: the unit draws 14.8 A, and it is hardwired, not corded.
Even, pre-focused heat
The pre-focused heat pattern spreads heat evenly with no cold spots, so food holds at serving temperature longer.
Built-in display lights
3 coated, shatter-resistant incandescent bulbs light the holding area and protect food if a bulb breaks. Halogen and Chef LED bulbs are options.
Deeper holding area
Two warmers joined by a 3" spacer cover a 15" deep holding area from one 36" long unit.
High watt output
1,780 W of infrared heat lets you mount it higher, at 14" to 18" above the food.
Guarded element
A reinforced wire guard protects staff without changing the heat pattern of the metal-sheathed element.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 21 lb.
- It arrives with most components pre-assembled, including the 3" spacer. Stands, chains or angle brackets are separate options or accessories.
- Have a qualified, licensed electrician hardwire it through the 3 ft. conduit and leads.
- If the heat element needs a breaker larger than 20 A, the incandescent lights need their own breaker of 20 A or less.
- Install any remote control box outside the heat zone, or it can be damaged.
Questions buyers ask
What power does it need?
It is set up for 120V single phase and draws 14.8 A.
How is it switched?
A toggle switch (max. 15 A) on the chef's left side is standard. Remote toggle switches, remote infinite switches or no control (with a Hatco RMB2 box) can be ordered instead. Hatco notes that 120V units of this size may need additional switches, remote only.
What does the D3 or D6 in the code mean?
It is the spacer between the two warmers. Hatco builds the GRAHL-36D with a 3" spacer (standard, 15" deep) or a 6" spacer (18" deep). This listing has the 3" spacer, 15" deep.
How high should I mount it?
Hatco recommends 14" to 18" above the food for high watt dual units. Do not install it in combustible surroundings. With built-in switches keep 10" to the surface below, use a pass-through location (no back wall) and leave 1" below an overshelf.
Can I get it in a color?
This Quick-Ship configuration comes in the standard clear anodized aluminum finish. Designer colors and gloss finishes are factory options on the standard model, at the time of purchase only.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty runs 18 months from shipment or registration, whichever is later. Metal-sheathed food warmer elements have 1 year parts and labor plus 1 more year parts only. Coated light bulbs are not covered. Hatco also offers 24/7 parts and service assistance in the US and Canada.
