Apuro HT760-A Food Warmer with Gantry 2x 1/1 GN | Heated Base & Overhead Lamps

Maintain optimal serving temperatures, preserve food texture, and enhance pass-through efficiency with the Apuro HT760-A Food Warmer with Gantry. Purpose-built for commercial buffet lines, hotel breakfast bars, event catering, and busy kitchen passes, this high-capacity unit pairs base conduction heat with overhead radiant warmth to keep prepared dishes at food-safe temperatures for extended service periods.

Dual-Action Base & Overhead Heating

Equipped with a resilient ceramic heated base plate and an overhead gantry fitted with two high-output red infrared lamps, the Apuro HT760-A delivers balanced, comprehensive thermal coverage. The independent temperature controls allow operators to fine-tune the heated base from 35°C to 85°C, ensuring delicate sauces, gravies, roast meats, and fried sides are held at their ideal consistency without scorching the bottom or drying out the surface.

Generous 2x 1/1 GN Pan Capacity

Built to handle heavy service volumes, the spacious platform holds up to two full-size (1/1 GN) gastronorm pans (or equivalent fractional pan configurations such as 1/2 GN or 1/3 GN). This spacious layout allows kitchen and front-of-house staff to hold multiple menu items side by side, speeding up plate assembly and buffet replenishment during peak trade.

Front-of-House Appeal & Fast Sanitisation

Crafted from premium commercial-grade stainless steel with tempered glass styling, the HT760-A presents a sleek, professional appearance suitable for customer-facing self-service stations and assisted carvery counters. The smooth, flat base and streamlined framework eliminate food traps, making end-of-shift sanitisation fast and effortless. Best of all, it arrives ready to work right out of the box with heat lamp bulbs included.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect the ceramic base, prolong lamp life, and maintain peak commercial hygiene:

1. Power Down & Cool Off: At the end of service, switch off both the base heat and overhead lamp switches, unplug the appliance from the wall, and allow the ceramic plate, overhead gantry, and infrared bulbs to cool completely before handling.

2. Pan Removal & Base Washdown: Remove all gastronorm pans. Wipe down the flat ceramic heated base using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, food-safe neutral detergent. Buff dry with a clean microfibre cloth to remove grease marks and water spots.

3. Overhead Gantry & Glass Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel overhead shade and glass elements with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and an approved commercial glass or stainless steel cleaner. Never use abrasive scourers, wire wool, bleach, or caustic chemicals that could scratch the metal or damage the finish.

4. Infrared Bulb Maintenance: Once bulbs are completely cool, gently wipe away airborne dust or grease film using a clean, dry cloth. When replacing bulbs, avoid touching the glass directly with bare, oily hands, as skin oils can cause localised hot spots that shorten bulb operating life.

5. Electrical Safety: Never immerse the unit, base, gantry arm, or electrical lead in water, and never spray the food warmer with a commercial pre-rinse hose or dishwashing spray gun.

Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines

The Apuro HT760-A is designed for rapid countertop integration across buffet lines, serveries, and commercial prep areas:

1. Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The food warmer is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and operates on standard single-phase 230V–240V power. It plugs straight into any standard commercial benchtop outlet without requiring specialised electrical upgrades.

2. Stable Benchtop Positioning: Place the unit on a flat, level, and heat-resistant commercial stainless steel benchtop or servery counter capable of supporting the 11.8 kg machine plus the weight of fully loaded gastronorm pans. Ensure all feet sit firmly on the surface to prevent movement during service.

3. Thermal Clearances: Maintain adequate clearance around and above the overhead gantry to ensure proper heat dissipation. Keep flammable items, paper serviettes, order dockets, plastic service containers, and packaging safely clear of the radiant beam emitted by the overhead infrared bulbs.

4. Operating Scope: This unit is engineered strictly for short-term thermal holding of pre-cooked food at food-safe temperatures (60°C or above). It is not designed to cook raw foods or reheat chilled dishes from cold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the unit come supplied with the infrared heat bulbs?

Yes. Unlike many standard warmers where bulbs must be purchased separately, the Apuro HT760-A includes two red infrared heat lamp bulbs in the box, making it ready for operation straight out of packaging.

Can I control the heated base and the overhead lamps independently?

Yes. The unit features independent controls for the ceramic heated base and the overhead heat lamps. This allows operators to adjust bottom and top heat levels separately, or use only the base or only the lamps depending on the holding requirements of the specific dish.

Are gastronorm pans included with this food warmer?

No. Gastronorm pans are sold separately to give venues the flexibility to configure their setup with full-size 1/1 GN pans or combinations of smaller pans (such as 1/2 GN or 1/3 GN) depending on their menu layout.

What is the difference between this model and the HT761-A?

The HT760-A is designed to hold two full-size 1/1 GN pans. The similar HT761-A model offers an alternative sizing configuration tailored to different pass lengths or servery capacities. Please check our HT761-A listing for full dimensions and specifications.

Can this unit be used to reheat cold food?

No. The Apuro HT760-A is a commercial hot-holding station designed to maintain already-cooked, hot food at food-safe holding temperatures between 35°C and 85°C. Food must be brought to the correct core temperature in an oven, combi, or range before placing it into the warmer.
