Frequently asked questions
Why are my prep table pans warm but the cabinet is cold?
The rail depends on airflow from the evaporator. A weak fan, iced coil or blocked duct starves the pans first.
Can a prep table hold food safely overnight in the rail?
Most manufacturers recommend moving pans to the cabinet or a walk-in overnight; rail units are designed for service hours.
