The Inomak CAP172SL is a cracking example of smart design for British kitchens. Its slim footprint is a lifesaver, but what’s really impressive is that they haven't scrimped on the build quality. This heavy duty catering fridge feels solid, the stainless steel is top-notch, and  it holds its temperature beautifully even when you’re in and  out of it all day.

  • Top-Tier Cooling: The Climate Class 5 rating means it handles hot kitchens with ease.
  • On-Site Assembly: Castors need fitting on arrival, so factor in a little setup time.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice Pizzeria in Manchester needed to upgrade its refrigeration after a kitchen refit left them short on space. Their old fridge was unreliable and  far too bulky, causing daily workflow problems.

"This Inomak fridge slotted in perfectly. We've reclaimed valuable floor space, and  I no longer worry about temperature fluctuations during a busy Friday night service. It's been rock solid."

David Chen – Head Chef

The consistent chilling temperatures led to a measurable outcome: food waste dropped by an estimated 15% in the first three months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a level spot with at least 10cm of clear space around the back and  top for good airflow.
  • Attach the heavy-duty castors before moving the unit into its final position.
  • Let the fridge stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Plug into a suitable 13 amp socket and  wait for it to reach the set temperature before loading it with stock.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down interior surfaces and  shelves weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Check the removable magnetic door gasket for splits or damage and  clean it regularly.
  • Ensure the condenser coils (usually at the back or bottom) are kept free of dust for best efficiency.
  • Regularly check that the automatic condensate evaporation tray is clear of any blockages.

How Forced Air Circulation Keeps Food Fresher, Longer

Ever found that items at the back of a fridge are colder than those at the front? That's common in units without forced air circulation. This Inomak fridge uses a fan to actively push cold air around the entire cabinet, from top to bottom and  corner to corner. Think of it like the difference between a still room and  one with a gentle ceiling fan – the fan eliminates hot spots and  ensures the temperature is the same everywhere. This means your salad at the top is kept just as crisp and  safe as the milk at the bottom, reducing spoilage and  keeping your stock in perfect condition.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Bistros & Restaurants: Its slim design fits neatly into crowded kitchens while offering substantial storage for fresh produce.
  • Independent Cafés: Reliably chills milk, sandwiches, and  cakes, keeping everything perfectly fresh for your regulars.
  • School Canteens & Care Homes: The tough build and  lockable door provide safe, consistent food storage in demanding environments.
  • Thriving Takeaways: This single door commercial fridge keeps up with the fast pace, ensuring ingredients are perfectly chilled and  ready for service.
