  • Rock-Solid Reliability: The static cooling system is brilliant for holding pre-chilled ingredients at a consistent temperature.
  • Manual Defrost: Requires a bit of planned downtime, unlike more expensive automatic models.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Salad Days', a bustling lunch spot in York, needed to upgrade their prep line. Their old, smaller unit couldn't keep up with demand, leading to slower service and  frustrating temperature fluctuations.

"It’s been absolutely brilliant. We load it in the morning and  everything stays perfectly crisp and  cold right through the lunch rush. Our prep is faster, and  customers have even commented on how fresh the salads look."

Robert Finch – Head Chef

Since installing the King CRISTAL113.HD, 'Salad Days' has increased their service speed by an estimated 30% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, level surface strong enough to support the unit and  its contents.
  • Leave at least 20cm of space around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Carefully follow the instructions to assemble the glass sneeze guard on top.
  • Once in position, let the unit stand for 2-3 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the interior and  exterior daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe stainless steel cleaner.
  • Regularly check that the door seals are clean and  free from debris to ensure a tight seal.
  • Perform a manual defrost when ice build-up becomes noticeable to maintain efficiency.
  • Ensure that ingredients or pans do not block the internal air vents for consistent cooling.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Servery Unit

Not sure which refrigerated prep counter is the best fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider to make the right choice.

Capacity vs. Counter Space

Measure your available counter space first! Then, match the Gastronorm (GN) pan capacity to your menu's complexity. More ingredients mean you'll need more GN slots.

Static vs. Fan Cooling

This unit uses static cooling, which is perfect for delicate items like salad leaves as it doesn't dry them out. Fan-assisted cooling offers faster temperature recovery, better for when the unit is opened constantly.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the undisputed king for commercial kitchens. It's hygienic, durable, resistant to corrosion, and  very easy to keep clean, which is vital for food safety inspections.

Defrost Type

Manual defrost, like on this model, is cost-effective and  reliable but requires you to schedule downtime to clear ice. Automatic defrost is more convenient for 24/7 operations but often comes at a higher price.

Check Your Kitchen's Heat

Every refrigerated unit has a maximum ambient temperature rating. Ensure the model you choose can handle the heat of your kitchen, especially during the summer months, to avoid performance issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size Gastronorm pans fit in this unit?

A: It's designed to hold a combination of 5 x 1/3 GN pans and  2 x 1/4 GN pans, with a maximum depth of 150mm. Please note the pans themselves are sold separately.

Q: Is the glass sneeze guard included?

A: Yes, the protective glass top is supplied with the unit. It requires some simple self-assembly upon arrival.

Q: How do I clean this refrigerated countertop servery unit?

A: The stainless steel construction makes it very easy. Just use a soft cloth and  a food-safe sanitiser or stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads which can scratch the surface.

Q: What is the temperature range?

A: You can set the temperature digitally anywhere between 2°C and  8°C, which is the ideal range for most chilled toppings and  salad ingredients.

Q: Does this need to be hardwired by an electrician?

A: No, it's a plug-and-play model. It comes fitted with a standard UK 13 amp plug, so you can plug it into any standard socket.

Q: How does the manual defrost work?

A: Manual defrost involves turning the unit off, removing all contents, and  allowing any ice build-up on the cooling elements to melt naturally. This should be done regularly to maintain efficiency.

Q: Is this unit noisy when it's running?

A: Like any commercial refrigeration, it generates some operational noise from the compressor, but it's designed for a commercial kitchen environment and  is generally considered to have a standard sound level.

Q: Can I place this unit right next to my grill or fryer?

A: It's best to avoid placing it directly next to hot cooking equipment. The unit is rated for a max ambient temperature of 32°C, and  excessive heat will make it work harder and  less efficiently.

How a Continual Evaporator Keeps Your Counter Clean

Ever noticed little puddles of water inside an old fridge? That's condensation. In a refrigerated unit like this, moisture from the air collects and  freezes on the cold evaporator components. The 'Continual Evaporator' feature is a simple but clever bit of design to deal with this without a complex auto-defrost system.

It ensures that as the unit cycles, any condensation that forms is efficiently evaporated away by the system's own operation, preventing it from dripping down into the base of the unit. Think of it like a self-tidying guest; instead of leaving a mess behind, it neatly handles its own moisture, meaning you aren't left constantly wiping down the interior. It’s a small feature that saves a lot of daily hassle.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pizzerias: Keep your pepperoni, peppers, and  mozzarella perfectly chilled and  within arm's reach for rapid assembly.
  • Salad Bars & Cafes: Display fresh salad ingredients hygienically, encouraging healthy, customisable choices for your customers.
  • Sandwich Shops: Massively speed up your sandwich line with all fillings neatly organised and  safely cooled in this chilled toppings prep counter.
  • Buffet Restaurants: An excellent addition for a self-service station, perfect for yoghurts, fresh fruits, or cold sauces.
