FAQs
Q: What is the Avantco 177STE2S Electric Steam Table used for?
Ans: During buffet service, catering, or cafeteria operations, the Avantco 177STE2S is a two-well electric steam table that maintains hot food products at safe serving temperatures. It preserves food quality over long periods of time by using mild, moist heat (via water pans).
Q: How many food pans does the unit hold?
Ans: There are two full-size pan wells in this model. Each well may accommodate several smaller fractional pans or a full-size 12″ x 20″ steam pan.
Q: How does the steam table keep food warm?
Ans: It produces steam by heating the water in each well using moist heat. Unless instructed otherwise, always use water in the wells.
Q: What is the power requirement for this unit?
Ans: The 177STE2S has a NEMA 5-15P socket and operates on 120V electricity.
Q: How much water should I add to each well?
Ans: Add enough water to reach the suggested water line, which is usually 1.5 to 2 inches deep, or to submerge the heating element. Throughout service, keep an eye on the water levels and never overfill.
Q: How do I control the temperature of each well?
Ans: You can manually modify the heat output by using the independent infinite control knob on each well. Depending on the type of food and the required temperature, start at a medium setting and modify. To ensure food safety, use a thermometer that is safe for use with food.
Q: Does this unit come with a sneeze guard or cover?
Ans: By default, the basic unit is devoid of pan covers and a sneeze guard. To improve food safety and display, these add-ons are available for separate purchase.
