Hot display case JUKA C-1-BL-200/GR

A hot food showcase keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature while displaying them under glass. The unit circulates warm air behind a double-glazed front, preventing condensation and maintaining an even heat across every shelf. Forced cooling at the rear draws in ambient air, filters it, and pushes it over a heating element before distributing it through concealed ducts. This closed loop ensures the temperature stays within the set range without drying the food or creating hot spots. The process is continuous, so dishes can be held for hours without reheating or loss of texture.

To use the showcase, the operator slides open the double-glazed rear doors and loads the highlighted glass shelves with plated dishes. The wooden casing and powder-coated steel frame provide a stable base; the non-adjustable shelves are fixed at an angle that presents each dish to customers. Once loaded, the doors are closed and the temperature is set on the control panel. LED lighting inside the cabinet illuminates the food from above and below, enhancing colour and presentation. The unit maintains the chosen temperature automatically, allowing staff to focus on service rather than monitoring.

The construction combines a powder-coated steel exterior with a wooden casing for insulation and aesthetics. Single front and side glasses give a clear view from multiple angles, while the highlighted bottom front and shelves create a stage-like effect. The forced cooling system is integrated into the rear, with sliding double-glass doors for easy access. Finishes are available in golden, silver or black to match kitchen decor.

The temperature range of 40 to 90 °C covers holding for most hot dishes, from soups and sauces to roasted meats and vegetables. The 250 kg weight indicates a floor-standing unit that requires a stable worktop or dedicated floor space. The footprint of 1990 mm by 892 mm fits along a serving counter or against a wall, making it suitable for front-of-house display in restaurants, cafés or buffet setups.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the powder-coated steel and wooden casing can be dusted or polished as needed. The LED lighting does not generate heat, reducing the risk of grease build-up on the glass. Shelves should be removed periodically to clean the ducts and heating elements, following the manufacturer's guidelines for the refrigerant R290.

This model is the hot version (GR) of the BELLISSIMA range, with refrigerated (CH) and neutral (NE) variants also available.
