Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Urban Slice," a bustling pizzeria in Bristol, was struggling with a cramped and  inefficient prep station, leading to slower service during peak hours. They needed a countertop solution that could handle their wide range of fresh toppings without taking up too much space.

"Our old system was a jumble of containers in a standard fridge. This King unit has completely streamlined our pizza-making line. Everything is right there, perfectly chilled and  easy to access. Our speed from order to oven has improved dramatically."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

By installing the King CRISTAL013.HD, The Urban Slice reduced its average prep time per pizza by 30% and  significantly cut down on ingredient spoilage.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent rocking and  ensure the motor runs smoothly.
  • Leave at least 15cm of space around the back and  sides for proper ventilation to avoid overheating.
  • Before plugging in, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Once on, allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with your ingredients.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Check the glass top for smudges and  clean regularly for a professional appearance.
  • As it's a manual defrost unit, schedule a defrost when it's quiet. Simply turn it off, remove products, and  let the ice melt away naturally.
  • Regularly check that the feet are secure and  the unit isn't wobbling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Chiller

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect countertop refrigerated unit for your business.

Consider Capacity

Think about how many different ingredients you need to store. This unit's flexible GN pan compatibility is great for variety, but make sure it matches your menu's demands.

Measure Your Space

Check the unit's dimensions (1200mm wide) against your available counter space, and  don't forget to leave room for ventilation around it for optimal performance.

Check Temperature Needs

A range of 2°C to 8°C is perfect for most fresh toppings like salads, meats, and  dairy. Ensure this aligns with the food safety requirements for your specific ingredients.

Confirm Your Power Supply

This is a standard 13 amp plug-in unit, meaning it will work in most commercial kitchens without needing special electrical work. Always check your sockets are compatible.

Think About Cleaning

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It's hygienic and  easy to clean. A unit with a simple design and  fewer awkward corners will save your staff valuable time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the Gastronorm (GN) pans included with the unit?

A: No, the GN pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the combination of sizes (up to 3 x GN 1/3 and  2 x GN 1/4) that best suits your menu.

Q: How do I adjust the temperature?

A: The unit features a user-friendly digital temperature controller on the front, allowing you to set and  monitor the internal temperature with precision.

Q: How often should I defrost the unit?

A: This unit has a manual defrost. The frequency depends on your kitchen's humidity and  usage, but it's good practice to do it regularly during off-peak hours to maintain efficiency.

Q: Is the glass top difficult to install?

A: The glass top is supplied for self-assembly, but it is designed to be straightforward to put together with basic tools.

Q: Can this unit be built into a counter?

A: It's designed as a freestanding countertop unit. You must ensure adequate ventilation around the sides and  back, so building it in tightly is not recommended.

Q: What is the 'max ambient temperature'?

A: This means the unit is designed to work effectively in a kitchen where the surrounding room temperature is no higher than 32°C.

Q: What is the best way to clean the stainless steel?

A: Use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals which can scratch the surface.

Q: Can I use it for hot ingredients like sauces?

A: No, this is a refrigeration unit designed only for keeping cold ingredients chilled. Placing hot items inside will damage the unit and  compromise food safety.

What Customers Are Saying

"Solid, reliable, and  does exactly what it says on the tin. Keeps all our sandwich fillings perfectly cold. A great addition to our kitchen."

Sarah Jones – The Deli Counter, Leeds

"Really happy with this commercial toppings fridge counter. It's made our Sunday carvery service so much smoother. The only minor point is the glass was self-assembly, but it was easy enough to do."

Michael Davies – Hotel Manager, Cardiff

"Fits perfectly on our back counter and  is a lifesaver for our 'build your own' taco nights. Easy to clean down at the end of the night too."

Chloe Wilson – Cantina Bar, Liverpool

How a Continual Evaporator Keeps Your Counter Clean

Ever noticed little puddles of water forming under or around refrigeration units? That's condensation, and  it's a nuisance to constantly wipe up. This unit's 'continual evaporator' is designed to stop that from happening. Think of it as a tiny, built-in dehumidifier that automatically gets rid of excess moisture from the cooling process before it has a chance to pool and  drip onto your worktop. It means a cleaner, safer, and  drier prep area without you having to lift a finger.
