Hatco PWB-12 Built-In Heated Plate Warmer, 25 Plates up to 12", Stainless Steel, 460 W, 120V
Description
Keeps a stack of up to 25 serving plates warm and in easy reach, so hot food goes out on a hot plate.
The Hatco PWB-12 is a built-in plate warmer that holds up to 25 plates up to 12" in diameter. Its doorless, open front uses a heated air curtain, so staff can load and grab plates without opening a door. A covered digital control sets the temperature from 104°F to 122°F, and LED lighting lights the interior from the top. It slides into a cabinet cut-out and seals to the cabinet face with its front flange. It plugs into a standard 120V outlet (NEMA 5-15P).
