Lincat Opus 800 40cm Electric Wet Bain Marie, 1.8kw, Model- OE8601

Lincat OE8601 Opus 800 Electric Wet Heat Bain Marie – 400mm, 1.8kW, 13A Plug-In

The British-made Lincat OE8601 Opus 800 is a heavy-duty commercial wet bain marie designed for safely holding pre-cooked foods at serving temperature in busy restaurants, pubs, hotels, canteens, care homes and other professional catering environments.

Unlike a dry-heat bain marie, the OE8601 is a wet bain marie – water is added to the well and heated to provide gentle, even heat around the Gastronorm containers. This makes it ideal for holding sauces, vegetables, curries, chilli, gravy and a wide variety of other prepared foods without applying harsh direct heat.

Compact at only 400mm wide, it forms part of Lincat's modular Opus 800 range and can be used as a countertop appliance or mounted on a compatible Opus stand or pedestal, sold separately.

13A Plug-In – No Hardwiring Required -

The OE8601 is particularly straightforward to install compared with many larger Opus 800 electric appliances.

It operates from a standard 230V single-phase electrical supply and is supplied with a standard UK 13A plug.

* Power – 1.8kW
* Voltage – 230V single phase
* Electrical Load – approximately 7.8A
* Connection – Standard UK 13A plug
* Hardwiring Required – No
* Three-Phase Supply Required – No

Simply position the unit appropriately and connect it to a suitable 13A socket.

IMPORTANT – Supplied Empty / Gastronorm Pans Not Included -

The OE8601 is supplied EMPTY.

Gastronorm pans are NOT included with the bain marie and should be ordered separately to suit your required food-holding configuration.

The well can accommodate:

* 1 x GN 1/1 container
OR
* 2 x GN 1/2 containers
OR
* 3 x GN 1/3 containers

This allows the bain marie to be configured to suit your menu – for example, one large batch of a single product or several smaller containers holding different foods simultaneously.

Gastronorm pans are sold separately.

Wet Heat Bain Marie -

The OE8601 is specifically a WET bain marie.

Water is added to the well and heated, creating gentle and evenly distributed heat around the Gastronorm containers.

Wet bain maries are particularly useful for foods where consistent, gentle heat is desirable and help avoid the more concentrated heat associated with dry-heated holding equipment.

The thermostatic temperature control allows the heat to be adjusted to suit the food being held, while the stainless steel construction is designed for the demands of a professional kitchen.

Compatible Opus 800 Stands – Sold Separately -

The OE8601 can be used as a countertop appliance or combined with a compatible Lincat Opus 800 stand to create a complete floor-standing unit.

Compatible options include:

* OA8921 – Lincat Opus 800 open floor stand
* OA8971 – Lincat Opus 800 pedestal with doors

Both the OA8921 and OA8971 are optional accessories and are SOLD SEPARATELY from the OE8601.

Please contact us if you would like to add a compatible stand or pedestal to your order.
