Alto-Shaam 100-CW/R EcoSmart Steam Tables & Food Wells - 100-CW/R
Single 12" × 20" pan capacity • Cold-wall conduction cooling • 115 V plug-in controls
Keep salads, desserts and grab-n-go favourites perfectly chilled without the food-drying blast of forced air. The EcoSmart® 100-CW/R uses cold-wall conductive refrigeration and a digital thermostat to hold product at 41 °F (5 °C) or below—all from a compact, drop-in design that integrates seamlessly into your countertop line-up.
Features
- Cold-wall technology gently pulls heat away from food, protecting texture and moisture better than air-blown wells.
- Remote-ready refrigeration lets you position the compressor out of sight for a quieter, cooler serving area (249 BTU load).
- Digital thermostat with LED display for precise, lockable temperature control.
- NSF 7 certified to maintain 41 °F (5 °C) or lower food temperatures.
- Stainless-steel top, coved-corner interior and corrosion-resistant exterior stand up to commercial kitchens.

- Includes two 20" pan-divider bars for flexible pan layouts (pan not included).
