Hatco HSBF-HC-4224 Built-In Flush Mount Hardcoat Aluminum Heated Shelf, 42" x 24" Heated Surface, 120V
Description
A 42" x 24" heated hardcoat aluminum shelf that drops into your counter and sits flush with the top, so a buffet or pass-through line holds hot pans without a raised warmer.
The Hatco HSBF-HC-4224 is a bottom-mounted, flush built-in heated shelf with a hardcoat aluminum surface. A blanket-type element under the surface spreads heat across the whole 42" x 24" holding area, and insulation keeps that heat at the top. A remote control box with an adjustable thermostat and lighted on/off rocker switch hangs on a 3 ft. conduit, and the unit plugs into a standard 120V outlet. Hatco lists it for cafeteria buffet lines, server-to-customer pass-throughs and other self-service areas.

Plan the 42-3/8" x 24-3/8" counter cutout and a grounded 120V receptacle within reach of the control box before the shelf arrives.
True flush mount
Four corner brackets under the counter carry leveling bolts, so you can set the shelf flush with, or slightly below, the countertop.
Hardcoat aluminum top
The hardcoat aluminum surface and blanket-type element give uniform heat across the 42" x 24" area to extend food holding times.
Adjustable thermostat
The standard control box has an adjustable thermostat and a lighted on/off rocker switch. Insulation keeps the heat at the holding surface.
Remote control box
The box rides on a 3 ft. conduit and mounts on a panel, a wall surface or under the counter. Recess mounting needs a 7-1/4" W x 3-1/4" H opening.
Control upgrades
At order you can choose flush mount electronic (ITC) or thermostatic control boxes, small flush versions, 6 or 10 ft. conduit with ITC boxes, and seven bezel colors.
Delivery and setup
- Hatco ships the shelf fully assembled. Inspect the box for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Lowering the shelf into the cutout takes two or more people. Brace the counter if needed so it carries the unit and the food.
- Install a mounting bracket at each corner under the cutout, fit the included self-adhesive gasket 1/4" below the counter surface, set the shelf on the leveling bolts, then seal the gap with NSF-approved silicone rated from -10°F to 250°F.
- Mount the control box vertically and outside the heat zone. Do not pull the conduit tight or cut the thermostat capillary to gain distance.
- Have a grounded 120V receptacle for the NEMA 5-15P plug ready; Hatco does not supply the receptacle. Allow about 30 minutes to reach the set temperature.
Questions buyers ask
What size counter cutout does it need?
Cut the counter to 42-3/8" x 24-3/8" with 3/8" radius corners. The shelf measures 45-1/8" x 27-1/8" over the brackets and is 5-11/32" deep below the top.
What outlet does it need?
A grounded 120V receptacle for a NEMA 5-15P plug. The shelf draws 1090 watts and 9.1 amps, and the 6 ft. cord comes off the control box.
Can food sit directly on the surface?
No. Hatco says food must be wrapped, boxed or held in a food pan. Do not place food straight on the hardcoat surface.
Will it work in a wood or solid-surface counter?
Hatco recommends a metal counter. The manual lists stainless steel, wood, Corian and simulated stone as mounting materials, but the counter must be suitable for temperatures up to 200°F, and Hatco is not responsible for counter damage from heat.
How do I clean it?
Turn it off, unplug it and let it cool. Wipe metal surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and dry them. Do not use steel wool, bleach, oven cleaner, jet spray or excess water.
What warranty does it have?
Hatco's limited warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 18 months, counted from shipment or from product registration, whichever is later. Register the unit with Hatco within 90 days of shipment.
