Description
A bottom-mount drop-in warmer that holds one 12" x 20" pan of hot food at safe serving temperature in a metal counter.
The APW Wyott BM-80CDS is a single-well, heavy-duty, bottom-mount rectangular drop-in food warmer with square corners. It accommodates one 12" x 20" standard food pan or equivalent fractional inset pans and runs wet or dry. A one-piece stainless steel top flange and heavy-gauge deep-drawn stainless warming pan are standard. It is fully insulated around all four sides and the bottom for quicker preheat, faster recovery and energy savings. Thermostatic control with a high limit and temperature-ready light keeps food at temperature. The well has a 1/2" drain.

What power does it need?
208/240V at 1,240/1,650 W, single phase, wired in by an electrician. The listing's dropdown also offers 120V and 208V-only versions taken from APW's earlier BM-80 sheet; APW's July 2026 guide lists the BM-80CDS at 208/240V only, so confirm a 120V order with us.

Both. APW recommends wet operation for best results.
