Maximise grab-and-go impulse purchases, showcase hot savoury favourites, and streamline front-of-house operations with the Apuro CW146-A Slimline Heated Multideck. Purpose-engineered for cafes, bakeries, coffee shops, service stations, and canteens, this open-front commercial hot food merchandiser keeps pies, pasties, sausage rolls, toasties, and seasoned potato wedges hot, fresh, and easily accessible to hungry customers throughout peak trading hours.

Slimline Open-Front Merchandising with High-Impact Visibility

With an ultra-compact 494 mm wide footprint, the Apuro CW146-A delivers high-volume display capacity without consuming valuable retail floor space. The open-front design allows friction-free self-service, keeping queues moving during the morning and lunchtime rush. Full-height side glass panels pair with bright, energy-efficient interior LED lighting to illuminate every shelf from wide angles, creating an eye-catching display that attracts customers from across the room.

Flexible 4-Tier Display & Precise Digital Control

Offering a generous 220-litre total capacity, the multideck features three heavy-duty adjustable shelves plus a fixed lower base floor deck, allowing staff to configure shelf heights to suit tall containers, bagged savoury snacks, or flat bakery trays. An intuitive digital controller with an external LED temperature display allows operators to accurately regulate holding temperatures between 30°C and 80°C, ensuring hot food is held safely without drying out or burning delicate pastry crusts.

Commercial Stainless Steel Build & Mobile Castors

Constructed from premium, easy-to-clean commercial stainless steel and toughened glass, the CW146-A is built to endure demanding daily retail service. Rear and front heavy-duty castors (including front brake locks) make positioning effortless during morning set-up and allow the entire 78 kg unit to be smoothly rolled aside for evening floor cleaning and sanitisation. Fitted with a standard Australian 10A plug, it requires zero expensive electrical hardwiring—simply wheel into position and plug in.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect internal heating circuits, ensure food safety compliance, and maintain front-of-house presentation:

1. Power Down & Cool Off: At the end of trade, switch off the heating and lighting controls, unplug the unit from the wall outlet, and allow the shelves, base deck, and internal walls to cool completely before sanitising.

2. Shelf Removal & Crumb Clearance: Remove all remaining food products and lift out the adjustable stainless steel shelves. Sweep out loose pastry flakes, crumbs, and dry seasoning debris from the interior base using a soft-bristled counter brush.

3. Internal & Shelf Washdown: Wash the removable shelves in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a neutral, food-safe kitchen detergent. Wipe down the interior stainless steel walls and base deck with a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Never use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or caustic oven cleaners, as they will scratch and pit the metal.

4. Glass Panel Care: Clean the interior and exterior glass panels with an approved, streak-free commercial glass cleaner and a clean microfibre cloth to remove grease films and fingerprints.

5. Air Vent Maintenance & Electrical Safety: Never spray the multideck with a commercial pre-rinse spray gun or pressure hose. Periodically inspect the lower ventilation grilles and gently wipe away airborne dust and lint with a dry cloth or soft vacuum attachment to ensure unobstructed airflow to the internal electrical components.

Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines

The Apuro CW146-A is designed for rapid front-of-house floor integration across commercial retail environments:

1. Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The unit is fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and operates on standard single-phase 230V power. With a 1.65kW power draw (approx. 7.2A), it plugs directly into any standard 10A commercial wall socket without requiring expensive three-phase or 15A electrical work. Avoid using extension cords or multi-outlet power boards.

2. Floor Positioning & Braking: Position the multideck on a firm, level commercial floor surface. Once rolled into its final service location, engage the front castor brake locks to prevent movement when customers reach in to grab products.

3. Ventilation & Airflow Clearances: Maintain at least 100 mm of clearance around the rear and side vents to ensure proper heat dissipation and electrical cooling.

4. Draft-Free Placement: For maximum holding efficiency and temperature consistency, position the open-front display away from direct external doorway drafts, overhead ceiling fans, or cold air streams emitted by air-conditioning units.

5. Operational Scope: This unit is engineered strictly for hot food merchandising and thermal holding of pre-cooked foods at food-safe temperatures (60°C or above). It is not designed to cook raw foods or reheat chilled products from cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this heated multideck be plugged into a standard 10 Amp power point?

Yes. The Apuro CW146-A draws 1.65kW (approx. 7.2A at 230V) and is fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug, allowing it to plug straight into standard commercial wall sockets without requiring specialised wiring or electrical upgrades.

Can the shelves be adjusted to fit different food heights?

Yes. The multideck includes three heavy-duty stainless steel shelves that can be adjusted to different height positions, plus a fixed lower base deck. This flexibility allows you to easily display taller items such as bagged baguettes or stacked snack tubs alongside flat bakery trays.

Does this unit cook food or reheat cold items from raw?

No. The Apuro CW146-A is a commercial hot-holding display merchandiser designed to keep pre-cooked, hot food at safe serving temperatures (between 30°C and 80°C). Food should always be fully cooked and heated to a safe core temperature (60°C or higher) in an oven before being loaded into the display.

How does the open-front design affect heating performance?

The unit features an advanced internal thermal air-curtain circulation system that holds warm air across the display shelves while remaining open to customers. To maximise efficiency and minimise heat loss, the unit should be positioned away from strong drafts, entrance doorways, and direct air conditioning vents.

Is it easy to move for cleaning?

Yes. Despite its heavy-duty 78 kg commercial build, the multideck is equipped with four sturdy castors. Simply unlock the front safety brakes to roll the unit away from the wall for thorough floor cleaning at the end of the shift.
