Frequently asked questions
Does the PG180FA-XB come with GN pans?
No — GN pans and dividers are not included and must be sourced separately. Pans and dividers must be fitted at all times when the unit is in operation.
What is the maximum GN pan depth?
The PG180FA-XB accepts GN pans up to 150mm deep in the five 1/1 GN slots.
Does the unit include a chopping board?
Yes — a 220mm deep PE (polyethylene) chopping board is included in the box.
Can ingredients go straight from ambient into the top pan section?
No — the cold top is a holding unit. All product must be pre-chilled to below 5°C before being placed in the pans to maintain food safety.
What warranty does the PG180FA-XB carry?
The unit carries a 2-year parts and labour warranty plus a further 2-year parts-only warranty, provided the product is registered after purchase — 4 years total coverage.
