METRO® HEATED
BANQUET CABINETS

Two-Door Versions

Control to serve meals hot and on time,
every time.

Maximum Capacity: Two-door versions offer the

greatest accessibility to the contents of the cabinet.
Designed to hold 113/4” (up to 123/4”) diameter covered
plates. Also holds full-size sheet pans front-to-back on
shelves or in optional Mini Rack slide system.

Versatile Thermal Performance: Standard Electric
and Quad-Heat™ Dual Fuel thermal systems available.

Superior Thermal Stratification: Available
Quad-Heat™ Dual Fuel canned fuel system utilizes
corner chimneys to provide even thermal stratification,
channeling warm air throughout the cabinet, surrounding
meals with uniform heat. By utilizing the “dead” space
in the corners, Quad-Heat™ maximizes the volume of the
cabinet while minimizing the space it requires. Easy-to­access drawers allow canned fuel to be monitored and
replaced without opening doors.

Control: Three-Point-Control Handle is designed with
the user in mind. Ergonomically designed for pushing
and pulling from both the side and the front. Optional
Swing-Up Handle provides additional control and
visibility when moving the cabinet.

Hands-Free Access: Kick-Latch provides access to
the cabinet when hands are full.

Maneuverability: Optional swivel lock caster system
allows cabinet to be moved in-and-out-of-line without
“dragging”. Rigid casters can be made to swivel for
movement in tight spaces and automatically switch back
to rigid when needed for moving down halls.

Reliability: High-performance 1650 watt heating
module is easy to remove, without tools, for scheduled
cleaning and service. Side-mounted power cord is easy­to-access and does not obstruct doors.

Intelligence: All important information is found in one
easy-to-use, easy-to-read place.

• Time — Exclusive multi-function count-up/count-down
timer.

• Temperature — Accurate and easy to read
thermometer.

• Contents — Dual function “white-board” and clip-board
for labeling.

Energy Star: All Metro Heated Banquet Cabinet
models are Energy Star.
