Hot display counter for canteens IGLOO GL100/OP

A heated display showcase keeps prepared food at serving temperature while presenting it openly to customers. The unit uses a water bain marie: a heated water bath beneath the food containers transfers warmth evenly, preventing hot spots and drying. A fan circulates air inside the cabinet, distributing the heat and maintaining a steady temperature across every shelf. This method ensures food stays moist and ready to serve without overcooking or cooling unevenly. The operator loads GN food containers into the frame, then sets the electronic controller to the desired temperature between 30 °C and 90 °C. LED lighting inside the top illuminates the food, making colours vivid and appetising. The granite worktop provides a stable surface for plating or holding utensils, while the glass screens on the open front allow customers to view and select items without opening the cabinet. Hinged back doors give staff access for restocking or cleaning. The showcase is built on a stainless steel frame with a wooden melamine front panel finished in a choice of colours. The internal storage chamber is made of white coated steel and includes an adjustable shelf. Polyurethane foam insulation reduces heat loss, and an internal cooling aggregate with automatic defrost and condenser vaporisation keeps the system running efficiently. An alarm sounds if the condenser becomes clogged or the fan fails. A 1500 mm width accommodates multiple GN containers side by side, making it suitable for buffet lines or self-service counters. The 800 mm depth allows placement against a wall or back-to-back with another unit. The 19.3 kWh daily power consumption reflects continuous operation in a busy kitchen, and the 230 V single-phase supply matches standard commercial circuits. The 30 mm thick granite worktop adds weight for stability but also provides a durable, heat-resistant surface that withstands daily use. Cleaning involves wiping the granite worktop and glass screens with a damp cloth, while the hinged back doors and removable shelf allow access to the interior. The LED strips bathe the granite worktop in cool, even light so every dish stays visible without casting hot spots that could alter the food's appearance. The unit is available with different front panel colours from the IGLOO pattern book, allowing coordination with kitchen decor. The catalogue places this model in professional catering equipment for hotels, canteens and self-service bars, where open access and consistent temperature are essential.
