Hatco HCSSBFP-36-S R-290 Hot/Cold Built-In Flush Top Simulated Stone Shelf, 36" x 24", 120V
Description
A plug-in simulated stone shelf that switches between hot and cold display, with its R-290 condensing unit built in below.
The Hatco HCSSBFP-36-S is an R-290 hot/cold built-in simulated stone shelf with a 36" x 24" Swanstone surface, bottom mounted flush with the countertop. It heats or chills from one footprint and changes modes in as little as 30 minutes. A 1/3 HP R-290 condensing unit hangs beneath the shelf on a flexible tubing assembly, and a 6 ft. cord with NEMA 5-15P plug powers the whole unit.

Hot or cold service
The same shelf switches between heated and chilled display. Hatco rates the change at as little as 30 minutes, so one footprint covers breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.
Two digital controllers
The control box has a power switch and separate HOT and COLD digital controllers. Cold setpoints run 10°F to 50°F and hot setpoints 65°F to 192°F; factory presets are 25°F and 180°F.
Patented thermal break
A thermal break around the shelf reduces condensation and temperature transfer onto the countertop next to it.
Flush simulated stone top
The Swanstone simulated stone surface mounts from below, flush with the countertop, over an insulated stainless steel and aluminized housing. Ash Gray is standard.
R-290 condensing unit
The condensing unit uses R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant and connects to the evaporator coil with a flexible tubing assembly and sits beneath the shelf.
Plug-in power
One 6 ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug powers the unit; a 4 ft. cord links the remote-mountable control box to the condensing unit.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Hatco ships the shelf in a shipping frame. Keep it in the frame until the counter and cabinet are ready, and move it upright only.
- Install by qualified, trained refrigeration installers to local electrical and plumbing codes and ANSI/ASHRAE 15. R-290 is flammable: no open flames or smoking near the unit.
- Do not move or rotate the condensing unit under the shelf, or the refrigerant tubing will be damaged.
- In closed cabinets, cut 12" x 12" intake and exhaust openings and keep the condensing unit sealed off from other electrical devices.
- Mount the control box outside the heat zone, or damage will occur.
- In cold weather, let the unit sit at least 10 hours in a 65°F to 86°F room before the first start.
Questions buyers ask
Does it need a separate condensing unit?
No. The HCSSBFP-36-S is self-contained: an R-290 condensing unit mounts beneath the shelf on a flexible tubing assembly and plugs in through the control box.
What power does it need?
A 120V, 60 Hz, single phase NEMA 5-15 receptacle. Hatco rates the HCSSBFP-36-S at 6.9 amps, with 440 W cold side and 825 W hot side. Keep the receptacle at least 12" above the cabinet floor.
What size counter opening do I cut?
36.375" wide by 24.375" deep with 3/8" corner radii, plus a 13-1/8" x 5-5/8" opening if you mount the control box remotely.
How quickly does it switch between hot and cold?
In about 30 minutes. When you switch to cold, a five-minute delay runs before the condensing unit starts as a safeguard.
What top finishes can I order?
Ash Gray Swanstone simulated stone is standard. Birch or Ice are order options; non-standard colors are non-returnable.
Where does the condenser sit?
Left-aligned condenser standard (.91" from the left side) or center-aligned (5.81"). Choose the location at order.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco lists a standard one year warranty with 24/7 parts and service assistance in the U.S. and Canada. A four year parts-only compressor extension can be added at time of purchase.
