This offer ends in:
The M1222 is a 4-pan wet-heat holding unit for commercial hot service lines. Four 1/2 GN pans (150 mm deep) sit in a heated water bath at 710×568×280 mm footprint. Operated by front-of-house staff or kitchen support during buffet, cafeteria, and banquet service.
Commercial Application
Wet-heat holding prevents surface crusting and moisture loss during extended service windows. Water bath surrounds pans uniformly. Temperature remains stable without direct pan-to-element contact.
Used during breakfast buffets, lunch service counters, and banquet lines where multiple hot items must remain ready for plating over 2–4 hour periods. Four half-pans allow separation of proteins, starches, vegetables, and sauces without flavor crossover.

Q: Are GN pans from other suppliers compatible with the M1222?
A: Unit accepts standard 1/2 GN pans up to 150 mm depth. Any commercial GN pan meeting EN 631 dimensional standards will fit. Lids must match pan manufacturer for proper seal.
