Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Salty Scoop," a popular seaside kiosk in Tenby, Wales, needed to add an ice cream offering but had absolutely no room for a large, freestanding unit. They chose the Easy DW-87 countertop ice cream display freezer to make use of their limited counter space.

"We were turning customers away who just wanted a quick cone. This little freezer slotted in perfectly. It looks professional, keeps the ice cream in fantastic condition, and  the customers are drawn to it. Our drink and  snack sales have even gone up since we installed it."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The kiosk now sells over 50 extra scoops a day during peak season, adding a significant new revenue stream with minimal investment or disruption.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable counter away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens and  coffee machines.
  • Ensure at least 10cm of clearance around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.
  • Before plugging in, let the unit stand upright for 3-4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Once on, let it reach its operating temperature before loading it with your pre-frozen Napoli pans.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior and  exterior daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • This is a manual defrost unit. Defrost it regularly (e.g., weekly) when ice build-up reaches 5mm to maintain efficiency.
  • Regularly check and  clear the ventilation slots to prevent dust build-up and  ensure optimal performance.
  • Avoid using sharp objects to scrape ice, as this can damage the freezer's interior lining.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Ice Cream Display Freezer

Not sure which freezer is the scoop for you? Here are a few things to consider.

Capacity vs. Counter Space

Measure your available counter space first! This 4-pan model is great for compact spaces, but if you have more room, you might consider a larger unit. Balance the number of flavours you want to offer with the physical space you have.

Cooling System

This unit uses static cooling, which is gentle and  prevents gelato from drying out. Ventilated (fan-assisted) models cool faster but can sometimes affect product texture. For artisan gelato, static is often preferred.

Temperature Range

Ice cream and  gelato are best served at different temperatures. A range of -18°C to -22°C is ideal for hard-scoop ice cream. Ensure the unit's range matches the product you're selling for perfect texture.

Presentation and  Lighting

How good will your product look? A clear, clean glass lid like the one on the DW-87 is essential for tempting customers. Good visibility equals more impulse buys.

Energy Efficiency

This machine will be running all day. A unit with modern refrigerant like R290 and  a good climate class rating will save you money on your electricity bills in the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are Napoli pans?

A: They are the rectangular, stainless steel tubs that are the industry standard for displaying and  serving ice cream and  gelato in commercial freezers. This unit comes with four of them.

Q: How many different flavours can I display?

A: This unit is designed to hold four standard 5-litre Napoli pans, so you can showcase up to four different flavours at once.

Q: Can I use it for gelato as well as ice cream?

A: Yes, absolutely. The temperature range is suitable for both, though gelato is often served slightly warmer. You can adjust the thermostat to find the perfect serving temperature for your products.

Q: Is it noisy to have on the counter?

A: Commercial refrigeration units always make some noise, but this model is designed to be relatively quiet and  unobtrusive for front-of-house use.

Q: How often does it need to be defrosted?

A: As a manual defrost unit, it depends on usage and  ambient humidity. We recommend defrosting whenever ice build-up is visible (around 5mm thick), typically weekly, to keep it running efficiently.

Q: What does 'Climate Class 4' mean?

A: This is a performance rating. It means the freezer is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures of up to 30°C and  55% humidity, typical of a professional UK kitchen environment.

Q: Can I put freshly made ice cream straight into it?

A: No, this is a display freezer, not a blast freezer. You should always bring your product down to temperature in a separate storage freezer before placing it in the display unit.

Q: Does it have internal lighting?

A: This specific model focuses on simplicity and  efficiency and  does not have internal lighting. The clear glass lid and  ambient store lighting provide excellent visibility.

Why R290 Refrigerant is a Smarter Choice

You might see 'R290 Refrigerant' listed and not think much of it, but it's a huge plus for your business and  the planet. In simple terms, R290 is a type of hydrocarbon gas – think of it as a highly purified, food-safe version of propane. Unlike older chemical refrigerants (HFCs), it has a near-zero impact on the ozone layer and  a very low global warming potential. The best part for you? It's also incredibly efficient at transferring heat, which means the freezer's compressor doesn't have to work as hard to stay cold. Think of it like swapping an old, gas-guzzling car for a modern, efficient hybrid – it does the same job but uses far less fuel, which translates directly to lower electricity bills for you every month.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Dessert Parlours & Gelaterias: Perfect for showcasing special guest flavours or dairy-free options away from the main cabinet.
  • Cafés & Bistros: A simple way to add a profitable line of artisan ice cream or sorbet.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Ideal for displaying locally made ice cream and  boosting basket spend from visiting families.
  • Event Caterers & Pop-ups: Its portable size and  standard plug make it brilliant for weddings, food fairs, and  events.
