Heated Food Display without Glass Top Hold 4x1/1 GN Pans 1460x790x845mm

The Thermaster PG150FE-XB is a 4 x 1/1 GN pans heated food display holding 600 L gross, and it runs as a WET or a DRY bain marie — the heating elements sit submerged in water and there is a built-in water inlet and outlet, so you choose which way to run it. 35 to 85 °C, with an ambient (unheated) storage cabinet underneath.

Why operators choose the PG150FE-XB

• Runs wet OR dry — this is the point of the machine. The elements are submerged in water and the cabinet has its own water inlet and outlet, so you can run a water bath for anything moist or saucy and switch to dry heat for anything that would go soggy. Most bain maries make that choice for you
• Convective thermal air flow and humidity — heat and moisture are moved around the well rather than sitting over the elements, which is what stops the pan nearest the element cooking while the far one goes cold
• 35 to 85 °C on analogue control, with a temperature-reach indicator light — staff can see it is up to temperature rather than guessing
• Holds 4 x 1/1 GN pans, and fits GN pans up to 150 mm deep. Pans are NOT included — the source lists them as available separately, so budget for them
• The cabinet underneath is AMBIENT, not heated — it is storage, not a second holding compartment. Worth knowing before you plan a service around it
• Perforated pan divider and a fully stainless, streamlined body built to be hosed down rather than wiped around
• Italian multiple heating element and castors
• 240 V at about 1.216 kW on a 10 amp supply — see Installation and delivery, because our power record has a unit error we have corrected
• 125 kg — a two-person delivery at minimum
• 2 years parts and labour, plus a further 2 years parts only — but the second period is conditional on registering the product within 14 days of invoice. Register it or you have the 2-year term, not the 4-year one
• The PG180FE-XB is the 5-pan build at 1800 mm and 800 L, on a 15 amp supply

Specifications

Venue suitability

A wet-or-dry bain marie suits carveries, buffets, canteens, clubs and any counter serving a mixed hot menu — the point is that one cabinet handles a gravy and a crumbed schnitzel without ruining either. The ambient cabinet underneath takes the spare pans and the lids.

Installation & delivery

Plugs into a 240 V, 10 amp supply. Our power record reads "1.216W", which is a unit error: at 240 V, 1.216 kW draws about 5.1 A, which sits inside the recorded 10 amp rating — so the figure is kilowatts, not watts, and that is how we have published it. It also needs a water connection if you are running it wet: there is a built-in inlet and outlet, so plumbing is part of the install. Dimensions: our specification field records 1460 x 765 x 845 mm while the product title says 790 mm deep — a 25 mm disagreement we have not been able to resolve, and on a counter run that is the difference between flush and proud. Confirm the depth with us before you build it in. At 125 kg plan the lift; it arrives on castors.

Warranty terms are per product — see our warranty information page.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can it really run both wet and dry?

Yes, and it is the reason to choose it. The heating elements sit submerged in water and the cabinet has a built-in water inlet and outlet, so you can run a proper water bath for gravies, curries and anything saucy, or drain it and run dry heat for crumbed and roasted items that would go soft in humidity. Most bain maries only do one.

Q: Are the pans included?

No. The source lists pans as available separately, so budget for them alongside. It takes 4 x 1/1 GN pans up to 150 mm deep, and there is a perforated divider.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

240 V on a 10 amp supply. Worth explaining the figure: our record reads "1.216W", which cannot be right for a heated cabinet - at 240 V, 1.216 kW draws about 5.1 A, which sits comfortably inside the recorded 10 amp rating. So the value is kilowatts and we have published it that way. It also needs a water connection if you intend to run it wet.

Q: How deep is it?

This is the one figure we cannot give you cleanly. Our specification field records 765 mm deep and the product title says 790 mm - a 25 mm disagreement we have not resolved. On a counter run that is the difference between sitting flush and standing proud, so contact us and we will confirm the depth with the supplier before you build it in.

Q: What warranty does it come with?

Two years parts and labour, and then a further two years parts only - but the second period only exists if you register the product within 14 days of the invoice. We state the condition every time because without it the cover is two years, not four. See our warranty information page for the full terms.
