Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between wet and dry bain marie mode?
In wet mode, heating elements sit submerged in water, which conducts heat gently and evenly into the GN pans — ideal for sauces, soups, and casseroles. In dry mode, heat is transferred directly without water, suiting crispier or dryer foods such as roasted meats. The PG180FE-XG supports both modes.
What size GN pans does the PG180FE-XG hold?
It holds 5 full-size 1/1 GN pans up to 150mm deep. GN pans and pan dividers are not included with the unit and must be fitted at all times during operation.
What temperature range does this bain marie operate at?
The analogue thermostat controls holding temperature from +35°C to +85°C. A temperature-reach indicator light confirms when the set point has been achieved so staff know the unit is ready for service.
Does the PG180FE-XG require a specialised electrical connection?
No — the unit connects to a standard 240V single-phase power outlet, making it straightforward to deploy on any commercial servery without dedicated electrical infrastructure.
What does the Thermaster warranty cover?
The PG180FE-XG is covered by 2 Years Parts and Labour plus an additional 2 Years Parts Only warranty, both contingent on product registration at the time of purchase. Register your product to activate the full coverage period.
