The AD1102 is a 9-litre electric chafing dish fitted with a GN1/1 pan and hydraulic-lift glass lid.

Stainless steel construction supports repeated commercial use in hotels, banquet halls and catering operations.
Commercial Application

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the AD1102 body?
A: The body uses food-grade stainless steel suitable for commercial catering environments. Surface finish resists fingerprints and cleaning chemical exposure. Exact steel grade specification is available on request from TurcoBazaar technical team.
Q: Can this chafing dish support heavier dishes like roasted meats or casseroles?
A: The 9-litre GN1/1 pan holds up to 8 kg of food safely. Hydraulic mechanism is rated for pan weights including dense items such as braised meats or layered casseroles. Do not exceed pan rim level to maintain lid seal.
Q: Does the unit include height-adjustable legs or stackable features?
A: The AD1102 ships with fixed-height feet. Legs are not adjustable. Units do not stack for storage due to hydraulic lid mechanism.
Q: Is a splash-back or drip tray available for this model?

Q: Can TurcoBazaar provide custom sizing or different GN pan configurations?
A: The AD1102 is manufactured to standard GN1/1 dimensions. Custom sizing is not available for this model. Alternative Zodex models accommodate GN2/1 or dual GN1/2 pans and can be quoted separately.
