Hot-hold and display temperatures

Updated 18/07/2026 · 2 min read

Hot-hold cabinets and display units are added and checked the same way as fridges and freezers, and included in the same daily round.

1

Add the unit as an appliance

From Manage → Appliances, add your hot-hold or display unit and choose the matching type, exactly as you would for a fridge or freezer.

2

It joins the daily round

Once added, the unit appears alongside your other appliances in the temperature checks on Today, with its own name and history.

3

Record readings against the right safe range

Hot-hold has a minimum of 63°C, the same across all four UK nations. Display units get their own safe range set for that appliance type, just like a fridge or freezer would.

4

Out-of-range readings work the same way

A hot-hold or display reading outside its safe range opens a guided corrective action automatically, the same as any other storage appliance.

5

The reading history builds up alongside your other appliances

Every hot-hold and display reading is kept permanently against that appliance, in the same way as a fridge or freezer.

Hot-hold and display units are both covered by temperature logging.

Tip: A custom, stricter range can be set for a hot-hold unit from the appliance's own settings.
