Hatco HBGB-2418 Built-In Heated Base Glass Shelf, Black Ceramic Glass, 24" x 18" Heated Area, 425 W, 120V
Description
A heated black glass surface built into the counter, so food can sit right on the glass at the pass or on the buffet.
The Hatco HBGB-2418 is a built-in heated base glass shelf with a 24" x 18" black ceramic glass top and an attached trim mounting ring, 25.625" x 19.625" overall. The thermostatically controlled heated base spreads uniform heat across the entire glass, and NSF approval allows food to be placed directly on it. A remote control box with the thermostat and lighted on/off rocker switch connects through 3 ft. of conduit, and a 6 ft. cord with NEMA 5-15P plug runs it on 120V, 425 watts.

Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Cut the countertop opening to 24.625"-24.875" x 18.625"-18.875" before the shelf arrives. Hatco recommends a metal countertop.
- Mount the control box outside the heat zone, or it will be damaged. Do not cut the cord, conduit or thermostat capillary to move the box.
- Do not slide pans across the glass, use rough-bottomed pans or drop anything on it. Scratching or breakage may occur.
- Keep the unit at least 1" from combustible walls and materials, indoors where the room stays at 70°F or warmer. Allow 30 minutes to heat up.
- Clean once it is off and cool, with cleaners made for ceramic glass. Do not use jet spray or excess water.
