Alto-Shaam EcoSmart Steam Tables & Food Wells - 200-CW/R
Remote-Refrigerated • 2 Full-Size Pan Capacity • 115 V
Deliver perfectly chilled menu items—without the product-drying turbulence of forced-air wells. The EcoSmart 200-CW/R uses cold-wall conductive cooling and a digital thermostat to hold food safely at or below 41 °F (5 °C), meeting NSF 7 standards while providing a sleek, flush-mount display.
Features
- Cold-wall drop-in design eliminates forced air for superior product moisture and quality.
- Remote refrigeration hookup keeps heat and noise out of the serving area (474 BTU load, R290 refrigerant).
- Precise digital thermostat for adjustable holding temperatures.
- (3) 20" pan divider bars included—reconfigure from two full-size pans to four 1/2-size or six 1/3-size pans in seconds.
Food pans sold separately.

Q&A
Q: What is the Alto-Shaam 200-CW/R EcoSmart food well?
A: The 200-CW/R is a commercial drop-in cold food well designed for refrigerated food holding using EcoSmart cold-wall conductive cooling technology for consistent temperature and food quality.
Q: What does EcoSmart technology do?
A: It maintains safe cold holding temperatures (≤41°F / 5°C) without forced air, helping prevent food drying while improving freshness and presentation.
Q: Is the 200-CW/R self-contained?
A: No. It is a remote refrigeration unit, meaning the compressor is installed separately to reduce heat and noise in the serving area.
Q: What is the pan capacity?
A: It holds 2 full-size 12" × 20" pans, or can be configured into smaller pan combinations using divider bars.
Q: What are its key features?
A: It includes a stainless-steel construction, 6.25" deep insulated well, digital thermostat, and pan divider bars for flexible layouts.
Q: What foods is it best for?
A: Ideal for salads, desserts, chilled entrées, grab-and-go items, and buffet-style cold displays.
Q: Does it require plumbing or water?
A: No. It is a dry, waterless system, reducing installation complexity and maintenance costs.
Q: Is it energy efficient?
A: Yes, EcoSmart design minimizes power use while maintaining stable refrigeration performance.
Q: What type of kitchens use it?
A: Common in hotels, cafeterias, buffets, catering operations, and institutional foodservice environments.
Maintenance Tips
-
Daily cleaning: Empty food pans and wipe the well with a damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent grease and food residue buildup.
-
No water required in operation: This is a dry, EcoSmart conductive holding system—never add water, as it can damage performance and void operation guidelines.
-
Pre-chill before use: Run the unit for ~30 minutes before loading to ensure stable cold holding temperatures.
-
Maintain correct temperature: Keep food safely held around 2–4°C (36–40°F) for chilled service applications.
-
Clean drains & wells: Ensure drain areas stay clear to avoid overflow, odor buildup, and uneven cooling performance.
-
Use divider bars properly: Always install pan dividers to close gaps for consistent temperature distribution and energy efficiency.
-
Avoid abrasives: Do not use harsh scrubbers or caustic chemicals that can damage stainless steel surfaces.
-
Check electrical system: Inspect cords and controls regularly to ensure safe operation and prevent downtime.
-
Keep ventilation clean: Remove grease and dust around the unit to maintain consistent cooling efficiency.
