best environment for pre-plated food prod­ucts by regulating consistent the air tempera­ture. This model uses hot circulated air (no
moisture) and heat retention technology.

Due to the retention capabilities of the heat­ing module, this unit eliminates the need for
any type of canned fuel (i.e. “Sterno®” type
heat). This is the major benefit of this unit,
which will undoubtedly pay for itself over a
short period of time.

The major benefits of

EnduraHeat® technology are:

Safety: elimination of potential fire

hazards from fuel use reduces
the likelihood of employee burns

Cost: eliminate expense of
canned fuel; no more scorched carpeting or other
decor

Productivity: eliminate the extra labor involved to
put cans into carts as well as monitor canned heat
use

Sanitation: no open flames to scorch pans, burn
food or scorch the cabinet interior; eliminate messy
residue from canned fuel

Food Quality: no transfer of fuel fumes to ruin the
flavor of food; food is maintained serving tempera­ture

Extended Unplugged Hold Time: Cabinet tem­perature remains above 140°F for 2 hours, un­plugged
