Hot drop-in surface Novameta Z-UWPS5-FLUSH-161/51/12

This built-in heated glass surface fits seamlessly into counters, holding five GN 1/1 gastronorm pans in a single row. A single sheet of toughened glass spreads heat evenly from electrical elements beneath, removing any risk of uneven heating across the pans.

The unit sits level with the surrounding worktop, allowing pans to slide on and off effortlessly. Once positioned, the operator selects a temperature between +30 °C and +85 °C. The surface heats quickly and maintains the chosen setting until adjusted or the pans are removed.

A metal frame supports the glass, keeping the unit flush with the counter edge. The 1610 mm length fits five standard GN 1/1 pans side by side, while the 510 mm depth provides space for pan handles. At 120 mm high, it fits beneath most overhead cupboards.

Controls include a temperature dial or digital interface for precise adjustment within the stated range. The 2.75 kW power rating allows the surface to reach and hold temperature reliably.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass after use; the flush design prevents debris from gathering at the edges. The toughened glass resists scratches and thermal shock, though abrasive pads or metal utensils should not be used to protect the surface.

The unit is designed only for GN 1/1 pans and does not suit other gastronorm sizes. It is listed under built-in heated surfaces for professional catering counters.
