temperature control is based on a capillary-tube thermostat.
A pane of toughened safety glass above the bain-marie wells on the customer side acts as a

The heat bridge helps to keep prepared food hot with 3 or 4 separately switchable radiant hea-
ters, the number depending on the model. LED spotlights in the heat bridge are available as an
