Why SmartHold?:

• The patented system maintains humidity levels between 10% and 90% in 1% increments, ensuring precise control without guesswork or risk of drying out.
• Offers dual modes: Proof (80 – 140 °F) or Hold (160 – 210 °F), allowing you to choose the perfect temperature at the touch of a button.
• Includes a 3-gallon recessed water pan with quick-response steam generation and a low-water warning to keep humidity levels consistent.
• Features heavy-duty blower motors and ventilated side racks that deliver consistent, cabinet-wide airflow for even heating and cooling.
• Constructed with fully insulated 300-grade stainless-steel for energy efficiency and easy cleanup.
• Self-closing, lift-off pass-thru doors stay open past 90 degrees, allowing for fast loading on the kitchen side and easy retrieval on the service side.
• Programmable countdown timers (with a choice of 5 or 15) start and stop with a single switch, keeping every shelf on schedule.
• Magnetic door latches, full-perimeter gaskets, and automatic venting help preserve heat and humidity, reducing utility costs and food waste.
• Mounted on 5-inch (127 mm) swivel casters, two of which lock, for easy mobility during cleaning or line changes.

Operational Advantages:

• The equipment can keep fried chicken warm for up to 50% longer and ribs up to 200% longer, while still maintaining a just-cooked flavor.
• You can cook in large batches during off-peak hours, and then use the SmartHold feature to keep the food warm and ready to serve during busy times, without needing extra staff.
• The single cabinet can be used to proof, hold, and serve the food, freeing up floor space and eliminating the need for a separate proof box.
• The pass-through design streamlines the flow of food from the kitchen to the service area, and improves food safety by reducing the chance of cross-contamination from people traffic.
