DESCRIPTION

FWE LCH-LV-G2 Series Low Voltage Cook & Hold Ovens

The FWE LCH-LV-G2 Series Low Voltage Cook & Hold Ovens are designed to deliver high-yield cooking, reheating, and holding from a standard 120V outlet while helping operators reduce energy costs and maintain product quality. Engineered for commercial kitchens, catering, and institutional foodservice, this solution combines advanced low-temperature cooking technology with high efficiency to improve consistency and operational performance.

Product Overview

Built for demanding foodservice environments, the LCH-LV-G2 Series provides powerful cook-and-hold capability using a single 120V, 20A circuit. Its advanced heat system reduces shrinkage while promoting natural browning, allowing operators to maximize yield, improve food quality, and operate efficiently without the need for costly ventilation systems.

Key Features & Benefits

Low Voltage Operation - Runs on a standard 120V, 20A outlet, making installation simple and cost-effective.
R85/F15 Heat System - Combines approximately 85% radiant heat with 15% forced air convection to reduce shrinkage and enhance natural browning.
Cook & Hold Automation - Automatically switches from cook mode to hold mode, ensuring consistent results without constant monitoring.
Programmable Controls - Stores up to 8 preset recipes for repeatable, high-quality output. [
Internal Product Probe - Allows cooking by time or internal temperature for precise control and food safety.
Hoodless Design - Meets requirements that often eliminate the need for a ventilation hood, reducing installation and operating costs.
Energy Efficiency - Uses less energy than traditional ovens and can take advantage of off-peak overnight cooking.
Multi-Use Functionality - Can be used for cooking, reheating, or holding while minimizing drying and flavor loss.
Adjustable Rack System - Removable shelves and adjustable tray slides accommodate a variety of pan and tray sizes.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
UL - The UL mark, which now serves customers in more than 100 countries, has become the authority on product safety. Its engineers test for things like soundness of design, safety of electrical components, and structural integrity of products for which UL listing is sought.
If you think of NSF International classification as protection for your customers, then the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) indicates safety for those who work in your commercial kitchen. The Illinois-based testing agency assures that the equipment that gets its stamp operates safely. There is also a sanitation classification that offers similar assurances about food safety as the NSF mark. Products are indicated as "Classified UL-EPH."
UL EPH - UL EPH recognizes products certified to meet environmental and public health standards. The UL EPH logo shows the word "Classified" above the UL mark, which indicates that the product complies with ANSI/NSF standards, in addition to other applicable codes.
CUL - C-UL mark indicates a product meets the CSA testing standards for Canada.
C-UL-US mark indicates a product meets the UL and CSA testing standards for both the United States and Canada.
