Cres Cor:
What makes our equipment
stand out from the rest?
– Heavier construction, thicker gauge metals and internal
frames mean equipment will withstand the constant
abuse of a typical kitchen.
– More rivets, welding and reinforced doors means more
durability.
– Heavier load casters that never need lubrication and can
withstand extreme temperatures mean more years of
dependable use.
– Thicker insulation means more vital heat retention and
faster temperature recovery.
– The most comprehensive warranty in the business:
2 years parts, 1 year labor.

up

Which is right for your customer?
Key Question to ask:
What foods are you holding in the hot
cabinet?
20
Heating Systems

Convection
– gentle forced air with blower fans; even heat
distribution

Aqua Temp
– convection with humidity control system; exclusive
Energy Logic Management System provides
faster heat up and recovery of air temperature

Radiant

21
Hot Cabinet
Applications 101
Who Do You Sell What?
22
Each Heating System Works Best
with Certain Foods

Convection: Crisp foods, breaded, battered or fried
foods like fried chicken, tater tots; pastry

Radiant: Foods needing a gentler, non-drying heat
like breads, pastas, BBQ. No blowing hot air.

Aqua Temp: Most universal applications of hot
food holding. Humidity-controlled environment or can
be run dry. Best for roasted meats, rotisserie meats,
vegetables. Can hold any food well.
23
Non-Insulated Hot Cabinets
