- Top-Notch Illumination: The direct halogen light makes golden pastry and cooked meats look fantastic.
- Dry Heat Only: Best for crispy items; not suitable for dishes requiring humidity.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Bristol Pasty Co., a popular bakery in central Bristol, needed to upgrade their old countertop display. Their existing unit was failing to hold temperature, and the poor lighting made their golden-brown pasties look dull and uninviting.
"The difference was instant. The light from the halogen lamps makes our pastry glisten, and everything stays at the perfect temperature all day. It's just so much more appealing to people walking past the shop."
David Chen – Owner
Since installing the Inomak XWH11, the bakery has reported a 25% increase in hot savoury sales within the first month, particularly during the busy lunchtime rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the surface or gantry is perfectly level, clean, and can safely support the unit.
- Follow the flat-pack instructions carefully for assembly. We recommend two people for easier handling.
- Position it where customers can get a great view, but away from any cold draughts from doors or air-con units.
- Simply plug it into a standard 13-amp socket – no special wiring is needed.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the unit to cool down completely before you start cleaning.
- Wipe down the stainless steel daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe cleaner.
- Check the halogen lamps periodically and have replacements on hand to ensure consistent performance.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as they can easily scratch the steel finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is AISI 304 stainless steel?
A: It's a high-quality, food-grade stainless steel that's brilliant for kitchens because it's tough, looks great, and is highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
Q: How do the halogen lamps actually heat the food?
A: They produce instant infrared (radiant) heat, which directly warms the surface of the food beneath them, much like a grill element does.
Q: Is this unit portable enough for events?
A: Absolutely. At only 4kg and delivered flat-packed, it's very easy to transport and set up for pop-ups, markets, or outside catering events.
Q: Can I control the temperature?
A: This model provides a constant, consistent heat source via the lamps. It does not have a variable thermostat for temperature adjustment.
Q: What kind of food is this hot food merchandiser best for?
A: It's perfect for items that benefit from direct, dry heat, such as pies, pastries, sausage rolls, fried chicken, and pizza slices.
Q: How should I clean the glass and steel?
A: Just wait for it to cool completely, then wipe the surfaces with a damp, soft cloth and a suitable food-safe cleaner. Buff dry for a great shine.
Q: Does this require a special power supply?
A: Not at all. It runs on a low 390W and comes with a standard 13-amp plug that fits any regular UK socket.
Q: Can this unit sit directly on a countertop?
A: It's primarily designed to be fitted onto a gantry or compatible Inomak base unit to ensure correct height and stability.

The real long-term value lies in its simplicity and effectiveness.

Explore more from InomakWhy Halogen Heating Makes All the Difference
Ever wonder why some heated displays make food look so much better than others? It often comes down to the heating method, and this unit uses halogen lamps. Unlike standard heating elements that just warm the air around the food, halogen lamps produce instant, radiant heat that travels in a straight line.
Think of it like the difference between sitting in a stuffy, warm room versus standing in direct sunlight on a cool day. The halogen light directly warms the food itself, keeping it hot and appetising without drying out the surrounding air. This direct energy transfer is also what gives your food that vibrant, 'freshly-cooked' glow that really catches a customer's eye. It’s heat and marketing, all in one bulb.
