INTRODUCTION
Hatco’s Quick-Therm Salamander is specially-designed for
cooking, grilling, reheating, and keeping foods hot. The
unparalleled start up speed is a direct result of Hatco’s patented
“instant on” heating elements located in the upper housing of
the salamander. The three independently-controlled heating
elements provide for the benefits of flexibility and energy
conservation. The plate detection feature, a versatile HOLD
function, and the reduced transfer of heat to the surrounding
area makes the Quick-Therm Salamander energy efficient and
easy to operate.
The Hatco Quick-Therm Salamander is a product of extensive
research and field testing. The materials used were selected
for maximum durability, attractive appearance, and optimum
performance. Every unit is inspected and tested thoroughly
prior to shipment.
This manual provides installation, safety, and operating
instructions for the Quick-Therm Salamander. Hatco
recommends all installation, operating, and safety instructions
appearing in this manual be read prior to installation or
