Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Approximate shipping weight is 36 lb.
- A qualified electrician must install the unit to local electrical codes. Installation by unqualified personnel voids the Hatco warranty.
- Mount the remote control box on a vertical wall at least 6" from the well and no more than 72" away.
- Combustible countertops need the Hatco mounting kit accessory.
- Let the well cool to room temperature before you switch between wet and dry operation, and never let it run dry while set up for wet operation.
- Auto-fill: bring a potable water line to the 1/4" NPT connection; incoming water pipes must be FDA compliant.
- Drain sealants must be rated for 500°F or higher.
Questions buyers ask
What size cutout do I need?
In a non-combustible counter, cut 12.687" to 12.938" W x 27.687" to 28" D. In a combustible counter, cut 14" to 14.25" W x 29" to 29.25" D and use the accessory mounting kit.

120V single phase. The low watt model is rated 750 W and 6.3 A, hard wired through a 36" conduit to the control box (72" conduit optional).
