Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Cornish Crust, a popular bakery in Penzance, was struggling with an old, inefficient food warmer. It heated unevenly and its poor visibility meant their delicious, freshly-baked pasties weren't getting the attention they deserved.
"Our lunchtime service is chaotic, and restocking the old unit was a nightmare. The Buffalo's front and rear doors have made a huge difference. We can keep it full from the kitchen without interrupting the queue. Our pasties look fantastic under the light and they're flying off the shelves."
Mark Tremaine – Owner, The Cornish Crust
After installing the HW927, the bakery noted a 30% uplift in hot snack sales within the first month and significantly reduced food waste.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable countertop with good ventilation, located near a standard 13A socket.
- Before the first use, give the interior, shelves, and glass a wipe-down with a damp cloth and food-safe sanitiser.
- Position the two chrome-plated shelves to best suit the height of your food products.
- Simply plug it in, use the dial to set your desired temperature, and allow it to pre-heat before loading.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the glass doors and panels daily with a soft cloth and a suitable glass cleaner to keep them sparkling.
- Remove the shelves and the crumb tray at the bottom regularly for a thorough clean with warm, soapy water.
- Always switch off and unplug the unit before cleaning, and allow it to cool down completely.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the glass and damage the finish.
