Heat-retaining shelf for food service Novameta BHS-LPK1-160/30/40

This heated shelf sits above a 1600 mm worktop, keeping plates and plated dishes warm without using hob space. Radiant heat from an internal element spreads evenly, preventing condensation on cold plates while avoiding food from drying out or scorching.

Installation involves mounting the shelf at the provided height and connecting the power lead. A control dial adjusts the temperature up to 60 °C, maintaining the set level until turned off. Plates or dishes rest directly on the shelf surface, staying warm until service.

Constructed from brushed stainless steel with an aluminium heating element beneath the top panel, the shelf measures 1600 mm in length and 300 mm in depth, accommodating two rows of plates. Adjustable feet ensure stability on uneven surfaces, and the 400 mm height allows clearance for stacked plates or small bain-maries below.

A rotary control on the front edge sets the temperature between ambient and 60 °C. The 0.9 kW power rating supports shared use with other low-demand appliances.

The maximum load of 30 kg requires even weight distribution to avoid localised cooling or overheating. Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent; abrasives or steam may damage the heating element.

Designed for the Novameta Table 1600 series, this shelf is listed under heated worktop accessories.
