Hot drop-in surface Novameta Z-UWPS4-FLUSH-128/51/12

A flush-mounted heated glass surface holds four GN 1/1 gastronorm pans level with the worktop, keeping sauces, soups and plated dishes at serving temperature without water baths or bain-maries.

An electric element beneath the tempered glass panel radiates low, even heat across the entire surface. The glass conducts and spreads the warmth without hot spots, so every pan receives the same gentle temperature. Moisture stays in the food rather than evaporating, and the smooth surface allows pans to slide easily for service or replenishment.

The operator places up to four GN 1/1 pans directly on the glass, ensuring each pan sits flat and makes full contact. A single control sets the temperature between 30 °C and 85 °C, allowing the unit to hold dishes at serving warmth or gently reheat without scorching. Once the setting is chosen, the element maintains the selected level until the pans are removed or the unit is switched off.

The glass panel is framed in stainless steel and sits flush with the surrounding worktop, creating a seamless look and a continuous work surface. The 1280 mm length and 510 mm width match the footprint of four GN 1/1 pans side by side, while the 120 mm height keeps the unit low enough to integrate into standard worktop builds.

The 2.2 kW power rating draws a steady load suitable for a dedicated kitchen circuit, ensuring consistent performance without overloading shared supplies. The temperature range of 30 °C to 85 °C covers holding for service and gentle reheating, but does not reach cooking or boiling levels, so the unit is not used for initial cooking or rapid temperature changes.

Cleaning requires only a wipe of the glass surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent after use, as the flush design leaves no gaps where food debris can collect. The stainless steel frame can be cleaned with the same solution, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.

This model is designed for four GN 1/1 pans and integrates into worktops as a permanent installation.
