DESCRIPTION

MT-1826-18, designed with "easy" in mind. High performance-low technology! Provide the best food quality from amplified heated moisture for short-term holding applications. Upfront and recessed control panel has separate air moisture and air temperature settings.

The MT-1826-18 can accommodate a wide range of trays and pans, including popular 18x26, 12x20, GN 1/1 as well as 14x18 trays & pans. Standard spacing is 4.5" spacing, but due to the unique fully adjustable tray slides and uprights punched at 1.5" centers you can hold almost any combination of trays and pans at the same time. The TS series can also be equipped with wire shelves for even more added flexibility.

Simply load the MT-1826-18 with your trays and pans of cooked, hot food and this warmer will keep your food hot and ready until serving time.

FWE's humidifying heat system, MOISTURE-TEMP, pre-conditions the cabinet environment by gently circulating moist air throughout the interior. Food is kept hot and fresh for hours. Controls are up-front, and allow air moisture and air temperature to be controlled individually with the turn of a dial. All models are fully insulated throughout the cabinet and door to provide energy efficient heating and longer holding times. Energy star models are available.

FWE has been awarded Best in Class by Consultants for the third year in a row for mobile hot food holding equipment, so you can rest assured you are getting the best quality equipment available.

MT-1826-18, Heated Moisture Holding & Serving
12 pair of slides are provided at standard 4.5" spacing. If required additional slides and shelves are available.

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."

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Bumpers
Top Corner Bumpers - Top corner bumpers are a good option for those customers not needing the protection of a full bumper, but still require protection for walls and surrounding equipment.
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.
