  • Pro: The rear door is brilliant for quick, discreet restocking during service.
  • Con: Rear temperature controls can be a bit awkward to access if it's pushed right against a wall.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rutland Pantry, a popular delicatessen in Oakham, needed to upgrade their countertop space. Their old unit was inefficient and  didn't do justice to their range of premium, locally sourced sandwiches and  drinks.

"We popped the King CL-98B right by the till, and  the difference was immediate. It looks so much more professional, and  customers are definitely drawn to it. It fits the space perfectly, and  restocking from the back is a breeze during our busy lunch service."

Robert Green – Owner, The Rutland Pantry

Since installing the new tabletop refrigerated display cabinet, the deli has reported a 30% increase in grab-and-go drink and  sandwich sales.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a flat, stable countertop, ensuring it's level.
  • Leave at least 10cm of clear space around the sides and  back for proper air circulation – this is vital!
  • Plug directly into a standard 13 amp wall socket. We'd advise against using extension leads.
  • Allow the fridge to run empty for a couple of hours to reach its target temperature before you load it with stock.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the interior surfaces and  shelves daily with a mild, food-safe detergent and  a soft cloth.
  • Regularly check the door seal for any dirt or grime and  wipe it clean to ensure a tight seal.
  • Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently remove any dust build-up from the condenser coils at the back.
  • Keep an eye on the glass door, cleaning it with glass cleaner to ensure your products are always perfectly presented.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Display Fridge

Not quite sure what you need from a countertop chiller? No worries. Here are a few key things to think about to make sure you get the perfect fit for your business.

Capacity vs. Counter Space

It's tempting to go for the biggest capacity, but measure your counter first! Ensure you have enough room for the unit itself plus essential space for ventilation around it.

Customer and  Staff Access

Think about your workflow. A rear-loading model like this one is great for staff to restock from behind the counter. Front-opening models can be better for self-service setups.

Lighting is Key

Your products need to look tempting. LED lighting is the standard now as it’s bright, energy-efficient, and  doesn't generate heat that could affect the food temperature.

What Are You Chilling?

Different products have different needs. A range of 0-12°C is very versatile, but if you're only selling drinks, a dedicated bottle cooler might be an option.

Check the Climate Class

If your shop or café gets warm, especially in summer, a higher Climate Class (like 4 or 5) is a must. It ensures the fridge won't struggle and  your stock will stay safe.

What Does 'Climate Class 4' Mean for Your Business?

Ever noticed how some fridges struggle on a really hot summer's day? That's where Climate Class comes in. It's a technical rating that tells you how well the appliance will perform in different ambient (room) temperatures. This King CL-98B display fridge is rated as Climate Class 4.

In plain English, this means it has been designed and  tested to work efficiently and  keep its cool in a professional environment where the room temperature can get up to 30°C and  55% humidity. Think of it like a car's air conditioning system that keeps you cool even in a heatwave. For your business, this means peace of mind that your products are being kept safely chilled, and  the fridge isn't overworking itself (and using excess electricity) to cope, even on the warmest days of the year.
