Overview

Apuro FT693-A Bain-Marie Base Unit

The Apuro FT693-A is a countertop wet heat bain-marie designed for busy commercial kitchens, cafes, canteens, and self-service buffets. Powered by a reliable 1.2kW element and offering a generous 21-litre capacity, it uses gentle water-bath heating to hold soups, gravies, sauces, baked beans, and other pre-cooked liquid foods at safe serving temperatures for extended periods without drying out or scorching.

Constructed from easy-clean stainless steel with a user-friendly dial temperature control ranging from 30°C to 90°C, the unit is ready to use straight from delivery with no technician required. It accepts full 1/1 GN containers up to 150mm deep, and can also accommodate 1/2 or 1/3 GN pans when optional divider bars are used. Pans and divider bars are sold separately.

Key Benefits

• Maintains food at precise serving temperatures between 30°C and 90°C, keeping liquid foods like soups, gravy, and sauces ready to serve throughout a service period.
• Gentle wet heat prevents food from burning or drying out, preserving texture and quality for longer holding times.
• Flexible Gastronorm compatibility means one unit can hold a full 1/1 GN pan or multiple smaller 1/2 or 1/3 GN pans with divider bars, adapting to different menu requirements.
• Overheat protection with a simple reset function and a boil-dry safety cut-off reduce the risk of damage to food, pans, and the unit itself.
• Stainless steel construction throughout ensures the unit withstands the rigours of commercial use and wipes down quickly between services.
• No technician needed for setup, so the unit can be put into service almost immediately upon delivery.
• Standard 10-amp plug means no special electrical installation is required, making it straightforward to deploy anywhere with a standard power outlet.
• Delivered in environmentally friendly packaging with reduced plastic content, supporting more sustainable procurement choices.
