The Duke Product Holding Unit (PHU) was
developed for extended food-holding capabilities
to provide consistently high, “just cooked” food
quality.
The Duke Product Holding Unit utilizes Duke’s
patented “Heat Sink” holding technology that
provides even heat distribution to food pans
through the bottom and sides. This allows precooked foods to be held for extended periods
without noticeable degradation of quality,
reducing food scrap/waste.
The self contained, individually formed, sealed
compartments of the Duke Product Holding Unit
eliminates food odor and taste transfer. Because
the compartments are sealed and formed to the
shape of the pan, no disassembly is required for
cleaning and product changes.
The unique design of the Duke Product Holding
Unit allows single temperature operation for all
existing product groups. This 190°F approved
temperature is preset at the factory. This reduces
the likelihood of inconsistent performance
between restaurant locations.
The Duke Product Holding Cabinet was also
designed to rethermalize food product. A
thermostat setting of 200°F minimum is required
for rethermalization. See instructions on page 10
for thermostat adjustment.
NOTE: Only qualified service persons should
modify control temperature presets
