It is designed for high-volume self-service or assisted service in busy canteens, salad bars, buffets and event-catering operations. The heated servery holds several full-size dishes together, making it useful where staff need to present and maintain a substantial choice of pre-cooked food.

It accommodates 4 x 1/1 GN pans, providing full-size Gastronorm capacity for bulk service. The wet-heat system surrounds the pans with gentle heat to maintain serving temperatures and reduce the risk of food catching or burning during a buffet period.

It accepts 1/1 GN pans up to 150 mm deep, but the pans are not included. Gastronorm spacer bars are included to close gaps around the selected pan arrangement, so the required pans and lids should be ordered separately for the intended menu.

User-friendly digital controls and a display allow the holding temperature to be set and monitored from 30°C to 90°C. A heating indicator remains on while the appliance heats and goes out when the selected temperature has been reached.

Built-in illumination highlights the dishes beneath the glass sneeze guard, improving visibility while helping to reduce exposure during service. The guard can be raised or lowered, and it retracts when the unit is not being used.

The adjustable tray slides improve access for guests and staff during assisted or self-service. Their holding bars provide a convenient place for trays, helping diners organise plates and serving items while moving along the buffet.

Yes. It is mounted on castors for manoeuvring, allowing it to be repositioned for cleaning or storage. Lockable castors stabilise it during service, and the brakes should be set before the appliance is filled or used.

Fill its wet-heat tank between the Min and Max marks and never operate it dry. For cleaning, disconnect it, allow it to cool, remove the pans, open the drainage tap and empty the tank. Clean the stainless steel well with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner, then dry it.

The buffet bar has a black finish and is constructed from metal and glass, including its glass food guard and stainless steel well. This combination creates a coordinated display unit while providing durable food-holding and service surfaces.

No. It is designed to keep pre-cooked food warm, not to cook it. Allow the appliance to reach the selected operating temperature before loading food, and cover pans with their lids when they are not being served from.

Position it on a flat, stable surface with 20 cm between the unit and walls or other objects for ventilation. Set the castor brakes before use, keep the electrical isolation point accessible and confirm that the drainage tap is closed before filling the tank.
