THE HEATLIE HOTBOX
HB6000SS & HB9000SS
The Heatlie Hotbox has the following advantages:
•Does not require electricity to work, so it can be used in remote areas where power is unavailable.
•Using Universal L P gas only, the Hotbox is capable of heating food for large crowds.
•Energy efficient with the revolutionary Heatlie Ribbon Burner System.
•Removable burner assembly housed in stainless steel slide in unit can be taken out during cleaning.
•Removable side rails and shelves for ease of cleaning.
•Door has hinges that allows the door to remain open while you are attending to the food inside.
•Skid handle rails on back of unit to aid loading during transportation, also for maneuvering unit when
wheeling it around.
•Auto push button piezo ignition.
•Flame failure protection.
•Shelves have a rail at the rear to prevent food from falling backwards.
•Hose and regulator can be secured for travelling on front control panel.
•Flush lock handle(s), to prevent damage during transportation,
•HB6000SS has a skid base to keep the appliance secure on uneven ground and prevents the front feet from
digging into the ground. On the HB9000SS there are two lockable castors at the rear for ease of mobility due
to the size and weight of the unit.
•The appliances are to be used only with portable gas cylinders and not to be connected to a reticulated gas
supply.

Container contents:
For HB6000SS
•1 Heatlie Hotbox with capacity to hold 12 shelves
•6 shelves
•Complete slide in burner housing
For HB9000SS
•1 Heatlie Hotbox with capacity to hold 17 shelves
•9 shelves
•Complete burner assembly in slide in/out housing
The Hotbox’s are sold standard with shelves for half its capacity. With this set up there is a 140mm gap
between shelves, which allows the use of 100mm deep bain marie pans to be used for heating food. If you add
extra shelves for full shelving capacity, the gap between each rack is reduced to 65mm, which is ideal for
heating plates and similar low dishes.

Assembly
The Hotbox is delivered fully assembled. All you have to do is unpack it and connect the hose and regulator to
a Universal LP gas supply.
Hotbox burner slide in unit.
The burner is housed in a stainless steel slide in box at the bottom of the hotbox. This box contains the gas
controls, including the tap which incorporates the flame failure and thermostat, piezo igniter, high temperature
cable, electrode, thermocouple, and the burner. This box is the heart of the Hotbox and must be treated with
care during cleaning. It is most important to completely remove this box before you commence cleaning. The
lid of the box is hinged at the front and flips back to reveal these components, should you ever need clean or
service them.
Gas bottle and Line Fittings
1. Gas bottle: Place gas bottle at the side or rear of the unit, out of the way.
2. Regulator: Connect the regulator to the bottle.
3. Note: This is a low pressure appliance and a pressure regulator must be used. You cannot connect the
Hotbox to natural gas supply.
4. Gas line fittings: Tighten gas bottle connection with fingers (left hand thread). Keep gas line away from
potential hot surfaces.
5. Connect point of gas is 200mm from floor at the front centre of the burner box control panel. The gas hose
assembly is 900mm in length.
6. Leak Test: With the gas line connected, turn gas on at bottle and check for leaks. Use soapy water and
brush or spray over joints on gas bottle and connection at hotbox and watch for bubbles.

Operation
Before lighting
1. REMOVE ALL PROTECTIVE PLASTIC FILM FROM STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
BEFORE INITIAL USE.
2. Be sure the Hotbox is at least 200mm away from any combustible surface.
3. It should be placed on a firm, solid surface.
4. Make sure the unit is level and there is room in front of it to open and close the door easily.
5. Turn gas controls to the OFF position.
6. Turn on valve at the gas cylinder.
7. Check there are no leaks. (see leak test)
Lighting
1. Burner to off position and open oven door.
2. Turn on valve at gas cylinder.
3. Turn on gas by pushing down knob and rotating to high (anti-clockwise). This also engages the flame
failure. Continue to hold down knob.
4. Light immediately by pressing piezo igniter. If ignition does not occur release knob and wait 30 seconds
before trying again.
5. Once burner is alight, continue to hold down knob for a further 20 seconds, then release.
6. Close oven door.

Trouble Shooting – Problem Solving
Fault
Solution
Hotbox burner won’t light
1. Make sure gas is connected and turned on
2. Check the piezo igniter is sparking. To do this
click the button and see the spark come out
the end of the electrode wire. Make sure the
piezo cable is properly connected and intact,
if it is still not lighting the piezo is not
working and needs replacing.
3. Piezo igniter working but still won’t light.
Check the electrode wire is pointing directly
at one of the burner port holes. If not, point in
direction of a port hole and try again.
4. Still not working – check the hose and
regulator is connected correctly.
5. Still not working – check there is gas getting
though, can you hear it?
6. Wait for gas to disperse and light with match
7. If the appliance is still not working contact
Heatlie or a qualified gas fitter.
Hotbox Burner lights but keeps going out
1. Check to see that when the flame is going, the
tip of the thermocouple is sitting in the flame.
If not adjust the probe so that the flame
encases the tip of the thermocouple.
2. If the thermocouple appears to be in the
correct position and it is still going out, the
most common cause for this is a faulty
thermocouple. It needs replacing. Contact
Heatlie or a qualified gas fitter.
The Hotbox keeps moving
1. Check that the hotbox is on flat level surface
Can smell gas
1. Turn the appliance off and check for gas leaks
(see leak test)
Maintenance Schedule
This appliance should be serviced by an authorized gas technician every year.
Servicing must only be carried out by an authorized service person.
