DESCRIPTION

FWE MT-1220 Series Humidified & Heated Holding Cabinets

The FWE MT-1220 Series Humidified & Heated Holding Cabinets are designed to hold hot food at optimal serving conditions for extended periods while helping operators maintain moisture, texture, and food quality. Engineered for healthcare, schools, catering, and institutional foodservice operations, this solution combines precise heat and humidity control to maximize holding performance and reduce product waste. [1]

Product Overview

Built for demanding foodservice environments, the MT-1220 Series utilizes a Moisture-Temp holding system that independently controls both cabinet temperature and humidity levels. This allows operators to create the ideal holding environment for a wide variety of menu items, helping food stay fresh, appealing, and ready to serve longer than traditional dry holding cabinets.

Key Features & Benefits

Independent Heat & Humidity Controls - Separate adjustable controls for air temperature and moisture provide maximum flexibility for different food products.
Moisture-Temp Holding System - Controlled humidity helps preserve food texture, appearance, and serving quality during extended holding periods.
Electronic Control Panel - Upfront, recessed controls are easy to read, easy to set, and positioned for convenience and safety.
Removable Humidity Pan - Large-capacity stainless steel water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and refilling.
Fan-Assisted Moisture Distribution - High-temperature blower motor evenly circulates heated, humidified air throughout the cabinet. [
Versatile Pan Compatibility - Accommodates shallow and deep 12" x 20" pans, GN 1/1 containers, and 18" x 13" trays.
Removable Rack Assembly - One-piece die-stamped stainless steel pan slide racks remove easily without tools for thorough cleaning.
Magnetic Workflow Door Handle - Ergonomic door handle design improves workflow and reduces maintenance requirements.
Field-Reversible Door - Select models offer installation flexibility to accommodate varying kitchen layouts.

Construction & Durability

Constructed with heliarc welded stainless steel and high-density Ultra-Guard fiberglass insulation, the MT-1220 Series is built for long-term durability and energy efficiency. Reinforced tubular base framing, heavy-duty hinges, gasket-sealed doors, and commercial-grade casters provide dependable performance in high-volume operations.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
CE - The CE mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. CE is similar to UL except it's more of a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets the relevant rules, rather than being the mark of independent testing.
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.
NSF - NSF International (formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation) is an independent, non-profit organization that certifies food service equipment and ensures it is designed and constructed in a way that promotes food safety. FWE products that meet these standards bear the NSF mark.
You may also see a designation that a product meets NSF/ANSI, which adds rules from the American National Standards Institute to the testing. ANSI works closely with NSF to develop its food safety standards and complete testing to those.
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."
Bumpers

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Bumpers
Full Bumper - Heavy duty full perimeter bumper extends beyond doors and handles for added protection. The bumper is mounted to the base frame for added durability - the bumper is not used as the base frame. In this way, the bumper absorbs all the shock in transport, protecting the integrity of the construction.
Caster
All Swivel Casters - All swivel casters allow for greater maneuverability. Great for tight turns or severe corners (such as on and off trucks or narrow hallways).
A drawback to the all swivel configuration is that it is harder to control the direction of the equipment when rolled in a straight line.
