Self-service display counter ROCAM 013HP6BM

A heated bain marie buffet keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature while presenting them attractively to diners. The ROCAM HAPPY 6 BM uses an electric element beneath a water-filled well to generate gentle, even heat. This water bath transfers warmth to the gastronorm containers above, preventing food from drying out or scorching.

To operate the unit, fill the well with water to the marked level, then switch on the power. Set the mechanical thermostat to the desired temperature between 0° and +90°, and the LED indicator confirms heating is active. Place gastronorm containers of food into the six GN1/1 wells, and the bain marie maintains the temperature without further adjustment. The unit includes a Plexiglas® sneeze guard at the top and two foldable tray holders at the front and rear, allowing diners to serve themselves safely. For added convenience, the work surface is available at two heights, 70 cm or 50 cm, making it accessible for all users.

The HAPPY 6 BM is constructed with a laminated wood frame, chosen for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The finish is available in a wide range of colours, including silver, rose, saffron, lime, sky, ocean, ivy, sage, cappuccino, clay, grey, niagara, veined white, white sand, birch, grey fog, elm, walnut, wenge, anthracite and veined black, allowing customisation to match any decor. The unit features rounded corners on the sneeze guard and tray holders for safety, and a 18 cm deep well with a drainage tap simplifies cleaning. The base is solid with rubber buffers and rounded edges, and two 75 mm wheels with brakes facilitate movement.

Controls consist of a mechanical thermostat for temperature adjustment and an LED indicator to show when the unit is heating. The voltage requirement of 230 V means the unit plugs into a standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The power rating of 3.028 kW indicates the load on the electrical supply, which should be considered when planning kitchen layouts. The overall dimensions of 2084x654x1310 mm define the space the unit occupies, while the weight of 136 kg suggests it will require two people or a trolley to move safely.

Cleaning involves draining the water well via the built-in tap, wiping down the laminated surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and ensuring the tray holders and sneeze guard are free of food debris. The Plexiglas® guard can be removed for thorough cleaning. Optional accessories, such as chromed retaining bars, stainless steel or laminated wood tray slides, and removable display grids for sweets or fish, allow further customisation to suit specific needs. The unit can also be fitted with a control panel safety door to protect the buttons from accidental adjustment.

The HAPPY 6 BM is designed for use in schools, family hotels and catering environments where self-service is required. Its placement in the catalogue reflects its role as a versatile, mid-sized heated display unit for professional kitchens.
