The Metro HS2436 36" Countertop Warming Shelf is the ideal solution for restaurants, buffet lines, and catering operations needing reliable, space-efficient heat for food holding. Designed as part of Metro’s Super Erecta® series, this unit combines durability, precision temperature control, and flexibility in installation to meet the demands of commercial kitchens and high-traffic service areas. Its 36" width and 24" depth provide ample space for pans, chafing dishes, or to-go orders, while the 200°F maximum temperature ensures consistent warming without risk of overheating. The unit’s conductive aluminum inner core and low-wattage foil elements, adhered to an aluminum diffuser, distribute heat evenly across the smooth 304 stainless steel surface, eliminating hot spots and ensuring food remains at optimal serving temperature for extended periods.
Restaurant operators will appreciate the Metro HS2436’s versatility—it can be used standalone on countertops or integrated into existing shelving units with minimal spacing requirements (5 73/100" between shelves). Its sleek, professional design features black epoxy-coated corners, adding a modern aesthetic that complements any commercial kitchen or buffet setup. The intuitive control panel with a power switch and thermostatic control makes operation effortless, while the 2-year parts and labor warranty provides peace of mind for long-term reliability. Whether you're warming soups, sauces, or plated entrees, this warming shelf delivers consistent performance, reducing food waste and maintaining quality—key factors for busy service environments.
Beyond its functional benefits, the Metro HS2436 is built to withstand the demands of a professional kitchen. The 304 stainless steel top resists corrosion and staining, while the included (4) 3" polymer feet and split sleeves ensure stability and proper clearance (1 1/2" from combustible surfaces). Powered by 120V, this unit is easy to integrate into existing electrical setups, requiring only a standard 5-15P NEMA plug. For restaurants prioritizing efficiency, space optimization, and durability, the Metro HS2436 is a must-have addition to your food warming and holding equipment lineup.
