DESCRIPTION

FWE RH Series Rethermalization Cabinets

The FWE RH Series Rethermalization Cabinets are designed to safely reheat, cook, finish, and hold pre-prepared foods while preserving flavor, texture, color, and nutritional value. Ideal for healthcare facilities, schools, commissaries, correctional institutions, and high-volume foodservice operations, these cabinets provide efficient rethermalization without requiring costly hood systems or fire suppression equipment.

Product Overview

Built for high-volume food production, the RH Series combines rapid reheating performance with automatic holding functionality. Operators can cook by time or optional product probe temperature, then automatically transition to hold mode once the reheat cycle is complete. Preset recipe storage and intuitive controls simplify operation and help ensure consistent food quality.

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.
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."
