MBM SET2 Professional Contact Toaster for Catering Kitchens

A contact toaster presses bread between two heated plates, transferring heat directly into the surface for even browning and sealing. The upper plate moves closer or further from the lower one, adjusting the gap to suit different thicknesses of bread, baguettes or buns without crushing them. Heat is generated by Incoloy-armoured elements beneath the plates, concentrating energy where it is needed and responding quickly to changes in demand during service.

To operate, the user selects the voltage supply and switches on the unit. The upper plate is raised, food is placed on the chromium-plated steel grid, and the plate is lowered to the chosen gap. If only half the surface is required, the unused side remains cool, saving energy. Once the food is toasted, the plate is lifted, the food removed, and the cycle repeated. The tilting heating elements allow the moving deck to be raised for cleaning beneath, while the drip tray collects crumbs and grease for easy disposal.

The toaster is constructed from stainless steel, with a thermal insulation layer to reduce external surface temperature. The upper plate is adjustable via an aluminium insulated handle that remains cool to the touch. Removable chromium-plated steel grids and drip trays feature heat-resistant handles and a safety stop to prevent accidental removal during operation. Special wall-mounting brackets can be requested to free up worktop space.

The 4.0 kW power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit; the unit can be connected to either a 400 V three-phase supply or a 230 V single-phase supply, accommodating different kitchen wiring setups. The 30 kg weight requires two people to lift and position the appliance securely, while the 790 mm width determines the worktop or wall space needed for installation.

Cleaning involves removing the grids and drip trays, tilting the heating elements to access the deck, and wiping down all surfaces with a damp cloth. The thermal insulation and cool handle reduce the risk of burns during maintenance.

The SET2 is available with optional wall-mounting brackets, which must be requested separately.
