Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

'The Cornish Crust' bakery in Penzance needed to upgrade from an old, unreliable heated unit that was costing them sales. They chose the Modena FDW430 for its clear display and simple controls.

"It’s been brilliant. Our pies look so much more appealing under the light, and we’re no longer worried about them drying out or going cold. Customers can see exactly what they’re getting, and it’s made a real difference to our lunchtime trade."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Cornish Crust

Since installation, the bakery has reported a 25% increase in savoury pastry sales and a significant reduction in end-of-day food waste.

Why a Digital Temperature Display is Your Best Mate

Ever wondered why some heated cabinets have a simple dial and others have a digital display? That little screen on the Modena FDW430 is more important than you might think. It’s all about taking the guesswork out of food safety and quality. A standard dial lets you set the heat, but the digital display tells you the *actual* temperature inside the cabinet, right now.

Think of it like the speedometer in your car. The accelerator pedal (the dial) tells the car to go faster, but the speedometer (the display) tells you exactly how fast you're actually going. For food, this is critical. It allows you to ensure you’re always holding your pies and pasties above the food safety 'danger zone' (anything below 63°C) and not so high that they dry out. It’s a simple feature that gives you complete confidence and consistency, every single day.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Find a flat, stable, and level counter space for the unit.
Ensure it's near a standard 13A socket, avoiding the use of extension cords.
Before first use, wipe the interior and shelves with a damp, food-safe cloth.
Switch it on and let it pre-heat for 15-20 minutes before loading your first batch of food.

Keeping It Going

Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
Wipe down the interior surfaces, shelves, and glass daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Remove the crumb tray at the bottom and empty it regularly to prevent build-up.
Check that the door seals are clean and intact to maintain heat efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Warmer

Not sure what fits best for your business? Here are a few things to consider when you're looking at a countertop pie warmer or heated display.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about your peak demand. You need a unit that can hold enough stock for your busiest period, but make sure you measure your counter space first! This Modena is great for balancing both.

Visibility

The whole point is to sell more, so good lighting and clear glass on multiple sides are key. Remember: customers buy with their eyes, so an attractive display is non-negotiable.

Temperature Control

An adjustable thermostat is essential. Different products (e.g., a flaky pasty vs. a dense pie) may require slightly different holding temperatures to stay at their best.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for removable shelves and crumb trays, and smooth stainless steel surfaces. A unit that’s a pain to clean will get neglected, which is bad for hygiene and business.

Power & Placement

Does it need a special power supply or just a standard plug? A 'plug and play' unit like this one offers maximum flexibility and avoids costly electrician fees.
