The cabinet is equipped with a special, low-heat-density, heating

cable. Through the Halo Heat concept, the heating cable is mounted
against the walls of the warming compartment to provide an evenly
applied, thermostatically controlled, heat source. The design and
operational characteristics of the cabinet eliminate the need for a
moisture pan or a heat circulating fan. Through even heat
application, the quality of a food product is maintained up to as
much as several hours.
