Hot display case HENDI 282779

A heated holding cabinet keeps cooked food at serving temperature without further cooking. The unit uses a low-power electric element to warm the air inside an insulated chamber. A thermostat cycles the element on and off, holding the set point within a few degrees. This method prevents drying or overcooking while the food waits for service, extending the window between kitchen and customer without loss of quality.

The operator loads the cabinet by sliding trays or gastronorm pans onto the internal runners. After closing the double-swing rear doors, the power switch is turned on and the temperature dial set to the desired value, up to 58 °C. An LED light inside the chamber lets staff check the contents without opening the doors. When the food is needed, the doors are opened and the trays removed.

The exterior is made of stainless steel with a brushed finish, and the interior chamber is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Two hinged rear doors with handles provide access to the full width of the cabinet. A removable crumb tray beneath the chamber collects drips and spills for easy cleaning. Separate switches control the power and the internal LED lighting.

The 0.5 kW power rating means the unit draws a modest load from a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most commercial kitchens. The 36 L volume allows the cabinet to hold multiple trays or pans at once, while the 400 mm width, 344 mm depth and 525 mm height give it a compact footprint that fits under most worktops or on a counter. The 14.2 kg weight makes it light enough for one person to move with a trolley. The temperature range up to 58 °C is designed for holding hot food, not for reheating or cooking.

Cleaning involves removing the crumb tray and wiping down the interior with a damp cloth. The stainless steel surfaces resist staining and can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals. The LED light and switches are wiped with a dry cloth to avoid moisture ingress. The IPX3 water-resistance rating means the cabinet can withstand light splashes but is not intended for wet cleaning or hose-down.
