FEATURES

Agency Approvals
UKCA - The UKCA mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. UKCA certified equipment has undergone testing to ensure safety, health, and environmental standards.
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."
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.
Bumpers
No Bumper - No bumper
Caster
5" Casters - 5" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
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.
Mobile
EZ Roll Heavy Duty Poly Caster - The EZ Roll Casters are standard on FWE cabinets and provide moderate floor protection with a high weight capacity.
EZ roll casters are shock absorbing and roll easier under heavy loads.

Available in 5", 6" and 8" diameters.
Construction
Stainless Steel / Insulated - Constructed of stainless steel, with welded base frame for added strength and durability - fully insulated cabinet and door provide energy efficient heating and longer holding times
Control Panel
Electronic Controls - Electronic controls featuring easy to read digital display of cabinet temperature (with recall capacity of temperature set point and actual cabinet temperature), equipped with a programmable low temperature alarm, master ON/OFF switch with power indicator light.
Moisture-Temps Controls - Easy to use - upfront and recessed electronic control panel has separate, easy to read and set, air moisture and air temperature controls
Door Count
2 Doors
Door Hinge
Edgemount Hinges - Heavy-duty edge mount die cast hinges
Door Latch

Humidity Pan - Removable humidity pan: 12" x 20" pan provides large water reservoir - removable, easy to clean and replace
Handles
Recessed Hand Grips - Flush in wall hand grips recessed and mounted on the left and right side of the unit
Heat System
Moisture-Temp Heat System - High performance - low technology. Provide the best food quality from amplified heated moisture for short-term holding applications.
Heated holding some menu items, such as chicken, will become steamed or soggy by using a covered pan. When exposed to dry heat, uncovered, these items become dry and rubbery. Achieve best results with controlled moisture. The length of holding time is also extended.
Hinging
Hinges on Right and Left Side - Hinges on the right and left side
Slides and Shelves
Fixed Slides for 12x20 Pans - Accommodates shallow and and deep 12" x 20" pans , 18" x 13" trays and GN 1/1 containers. Unique pan slides racks' front edges are relieved for easy loading, one piece die stamped stainless steel for extra strength, and removable for easy cleaning.
