Product Information

Full details

The Hamoki BM-V4 Bain Marie is a professional-grade wet heat food warmer ideal for commercial kitchens, buffet lines, and catering services that need to maintain consistent serving temperatures for multiple dishes. Its primary advantage is the wet heat system, which provides gentle, even warmth that prevents delicate sauces and stews from drying out or scorching; however, users should note that the unit requires regular water level monitoring to maintain optimal performance and protect the heating element.

FAQs

Can I use this Bain Marie without water?

What is the maximum temperature of the unit?

The thermostat allows for temperature adjustments up to 85°C.

Are the GN pans dishwasher safe?

Yes, the included stainless steel GN pans are typically dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

Does the unit come with the pans and lids?

Yes, the BM-V4 includes six 1/3 GN pans (150mm deep) and the corresponding lids.

How often should I change the water?

You should change the water daily at the end of service to maintain hygiene standards.

Is the unit portable?

While it is compact at 675mm wide, it should be drained completely before moving to prevent splashing and damage.

Troubleshooting

Water is not heating up

Check that the power plug is connected, the socket is live, and the thermostat dial is set to the desired temperature above 30°C.

Food is drying out

Verify that the water level in the bath is sufficient and ensure the lids are properly fitted to the GN pans.

Drain tap is leaking

Ensure the tap handle is firmly in the 'closed' position and check for any food debris lodged in the seal.
