Commercial Application

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the body and pans?
A: Body and water reservoir are SS201 stainless at 0.7mm thickness. GN pans and lids are SS201. SS201 provides adequate corrosion resistance for water bath use and is standard in commercial hot-holding equipment.
Q: What is the maximum safe load capacity per pan?
A: Each GN 1/2 pan holds 6-8 litres depending on food density. Total wet load across eight pans should not exceed 50kg to maintain heating efficiency and prevent water overflow.
Q: Are the legs adjustable for uneven floors?
A: Unit has fixed base without adjustable feet. Place on level surface or use shims under base corners if counter is uneven.
Q: Can a higher splash-back or overhead gantry be fitted?
A: Glass guard is fixed height and not designed for additional splash-back. Overhead heat lamps can be mounted independently above unit if buffet warming is required.
Q: Is custom sizing available for narrow service counters?
A: This model is fixed at 1430mm width for eight pans. Six-pan and four-pan versions available under separate models with proportional width reduction.
