Hot display case UNIS COOL 1130120

A heated display case keeps hot food at serving temperature while presenting it through clear glass, so customers can see the dishes without opening the cabinet. The Kentucky Hot 2GN uses a convection system: an axial fan draws air across a heating element, then circulates it evenly throughout the chamber. This forced-air movement prevents cold spots and ensures every shelf holds food at the same temperature. A water reservoir adds moisture to the air, maintaining humidity that keeps food from drying out during service.

To operate the case, fill the water reservoir at the back, then load the removable grid with hot food. Set the mechanical thermostat on the rear panel to the desired temperature between +30 °C and +90 °C. The axial fan and heater start automatically, circulating warm, humidified air around the dishes. A fluorescent bulb inside the top of the case illuminates the food, making colours and textures visible to customers. The front glass is rounded and designed for easy replacement if scratched or broken.

The Kentucky Hot 2GN is built in stainless steel, which resists corrosion and wipes clean after service. The interior grid measures 630 mm long, 400 mm wide and 172 mm high, providing space for standard gastronorm trays or individual dishes. The overall footprint is 750 mm wide, 755 mm deep and 585 mm high, fitting on most worktops or counters. The unit weighs 57 kg, allowing two staff to move it when empty. A power rating of 2.061 kW requires a dedicated circuit capable of handling continuous load in a busy kitchen.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces and glass with a damp cloth. The water reservoir should be emptied and rinsed daily to prevent mineral build-up. The removable grid lifts out for thorough washing, and the fluorescent bulb can be replaced without tools when it dims. The mechanical thermostat needs no calibration but should be checked periodically to ensure it clicks on and off at the set temperature.

The Kentucky Hot 2GN is categorised under heated display cases in the UNIS COOL professional catering range.
