The THWSR186 is a 1800mm heated cupboard that maintains plated meals and dinnerware at service temperature in canteen and banquet operations. It holds stacked plates or finished dishes between +30°C and +90°C using a fan-assisted heating element. Kitchen staff operate it during high-volume service periods in hotels, large restaurants, and institutional catering facilities.
Commercial Application
Hot holding cupboards solve the timing problem between kitchen production and front-of-house service. Plated meals stay at safe serving temperature while dining room staff manage table turnover. The 1800mm width accommodates multiple stacks of plates or gastronorm trays in parallel.
During banquet service or buffet setup, preheated plates prevent heat loss from freshly plated food. The sliding door design allows rapid access without occupying floor space in congested pass areas. Staff load plates during prep and retrieve them throughout service without disrupting kitchen flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What stainless steel grade is used in the THWSR186 construction?
A: Cabinet body and doors are constructed from 304-grade stainless steel. Internal surfaces meet food contact hygiene standards for commercial catering operations.
Q: What is the plate capacity and internal shelf configuration?
A: Internal chamber accommodates approximately 120-150 plates depending on diameter and stacking height. No fixed shelves are fitted; users stack plates directly on the base or insert gastronorm racks as required.
Q: Can adjustable feet compensate for uneven kitchen floors?
A: Four adjustable feet provide levelling compensation up to 25mm variance. Proper levelling prevents door alignment issues and ensures even heat distribution across the chamber.
Q: Are splash-back panels available for wall-mounted installation?
A: This model does not include integrated splash-back panels. Operators typically position the unit against existing tiled walls or stainless steel cladding in pass areas.
Q: Is the 2000W heating element available as a replacement spare part?
A: Heating elements and fan assemblies are stocked as serviceable components. Lead time for spare parts to UK addresses is typically 3-5 working days from order confirmation.
