🔹 Condition
New / Open Box – Superb Condition – Inspected & Ready for Commercial Use
This Nemco commercial countertop warmer is offered in new/open-box condition. The stainless steel exterior, round heating well, adjustable control knob, power cord, and major operating components appear clean and complete, with only light fingerprints or minor handling marks from warehouse storage and inspection.
Blue protective tape is visible around the power cord in the supplied photograph. The unit does not appear to include a removable food inset, lid, or ladle in the photos. Those accessories should not be promised unless they are physically confirmed before sale.
The warmer should be cleaned, inspected, and tested before being placed into commercial foodservice operation.
🔹 Description
The Nemco 6100A is a compact commercial countertop food warmer designed to maintain soups, sauces, gravies, chili, cheese, dessert toppings, and other prepared foods at safe serving temperatures.
Its round stainless steel well accepts a compatible 7-quart inset, while an adjustable thermostatic control allows the operator to select the appropriate holding level for different products. The standard 6100A is the warmer-only model; Nemco sells the 6100A-ICL configuration separately with an inset, cover, and ladle.
A coiled tubular heating element transfers heat through an aluminum heat-dissipating plate, helping spread heat evenly around the well and reduce isolated hot spots. The unit’s stainless steel construction is designed for repeated commercial use and simple countertop cleaning.
Its compact footprint makes it well suited to restaurants, buffet lines, cafés, concession stands, catering operations, convenience stores, and self-service food stations where counter space is limited.
🔹 Holding Specifications
Capacity: 7 Qt. Number of Wells: 1 Well Shape: Round Operation: Countertop Food Holding Control Type: Adjustable Thermostatic Dial Maximum Published Temperature: Up to Approximately 212°F Heating Method: Electric Conduction Heating Food Inset: Sold Separately Unless Physically Included Installation Type: Portable Countertop
Nemco’s published specifications identify the 6100A as a 7-quart round warmer with adjustable thermostatic control.
🔹 Electrical Specifications
The photographed manufacturer plate confirms:
Voltage: 120V AC Phase: Single Phase Frequency: 60 Hz Power Consumption: 550 Watts Rated Current: 4.6 Amps Power Type: Electric Plug Configuration: NEMA 5-15P Power Cord: Approximately 6 ft.
Nemco’s official model table also lists the 6100A at 120V, 550W, 4.6 amps, 60 Hz, with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
A properly grounded commercial outlet is required. Extension cords should not be used unless expressly approved for the full electrical load.
🔹 Dimensions
Width / Diameter: Approximately 10 in Height: Approximately 9 5/8–9 3/4 in Approximate Weight: 11 lb.
Nemco’s current official listing gives a 10-inch width and 9 5/8-inch height, while some dealer listings measure the upper rim at approximately 11 7/8 inches. The difference likely reflects measuring the body versus the widest top flange.
