Expert Review and  Insights

The King CRISTAL313.HD is a real workhorse. It doesn't overcomplicate things; it just does its job exceptionally well. The 2-metre length is a massive plus for high-volume sites, and  the static cooling is reliable for holding things like cheese, meats, and  prepped veg at a safe, consistent temperature. It's a solid, no-nonsense piece of refrigeration for kitchens that need to get food out the door quickly.

  • Practical Design: The sheer space and  simple controls make it incredibly user-friendly during a busy service.
  • Manual Defrost: You'll need to schedule downtime for defrosting, which requires a bit of planning.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"Slice of the Tyne", a bustling pizzeria in Newcastle, was struggling with a cramped prep area that was causing bottlenecks during their Friday and  Saturday night rushes. They upgraded to the 2m King CRISTAL313.HD to handle their wide range of fresh toppings more efficiently.

"It's been brilliant. Having everything laid out, perfectly chilled and  right in front of us has made our line so much quicker. The quality of what we send out is more consistent because the ingredients are held at the perfect temperature right up until they go in the oven."

Robert Davies – Owner, Slice of the Tyne

Since installation, the pizzeria has seen a significant improvement in workflow, reducing average order prep time by over 20% during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a sturdy, level counter with plenty of space around the unit for air circulation. Avoid boxing it in.
  • Before plugging in, carefully follow the instructions to assemble the protective glass top.
  • Plug into a standard 13A socket and  switch on. Allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with pans.
  • Position the unit away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens and  grills for best performance.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces and  glass daily with a food-safe cleaner and  a soft cloth.
  • Regularly check the door seals (if applicable) for any splits or gaps to ensure cold air isn't escaping.
  • Schedule a regular time to perform a manual defrost as per the user guide, usually when stock is low.
  • Ensure the air vents are never blocked by boxes or other equipment to maintain efficient operation.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Topping Unit

Not sure what fits best? Finding the right refrigerated prep unit can make a huge difference to your kitchen's flow. Here are a few things to consider.

Size and  Space

Measure your counter space carefully! Consider both the unit's footprint and  the need for ventilation around it. This 2m unit is great for high capacity, but make sure you have the room.

GN Pan Capacity

Think about how many different ingredients you need to hold. This model holds 9 x GN 1/3 pans, which is ideal for complex menus like pizza or extensive salad bars.

Temperature Range

A range of 2°C to 8°C is perfect for most fresh ingredients, from dairy and  cooked meats to vegetables. Ensure this matches the food safety requirements for what you plan to store.

Static vs. Fan Cooling

This unit uses static cooling, which is great for preventing delicate items like salad leaves from drying out. Fan-assisted models cool faster but can be harsher on some ingredients.

Cleaning and  Materials

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  easy to clean. A unit with smooth, accessible surfaces will save you time and  effort every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are the gastronorm pans included with the unit?

A: No, the 9 x GN 1/3 pans are sold separately. This allows you to choose the depth and  type of pans (e.g., stainless steel or polycarbonate) that best suit your needs.

Q: What size pans does this unit hold?

A: It's designed to hold up to nine GN 1/3 size pans, each with a maximum depth of 150mm.

Q: Can I use different combinations of GN pan sizes?

A: Yes, you can mix and  match different GN pan sizes (e.g., GN 1/6, GN 1/9) as long as the total combination fits within the 9 x GN 1/3 space.

Q: What is the exact temperature range?

A: The unit operates within a temperature range of +2°C to +8°C, which is ideal for most chilled food prep.

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

A: No, it comes fitted with a standard 13-amp UK plug, so you can plug it straight into a regular socket.

Q: How do I defrost the King CRISTAL313.HD?

A: This is a manual defrost model. You will need to turn the unit off, remove the contents, and  allow the ice to melt naturally before wiping it clean and  turning it back on.

Q: Is the glass top just for display?

A: The glass serves two purposes: it acts as a hygienic sneeze guard to protect the food, and  it helps to contain the cold air, improving energy efficiency.

Q: Is it easy to move?

A: The unit weighs 30kg. While not excessively heavy, we recommend two people lift and  position it safely on your counter.

"An absolutely essential piece of kit for our sandwich shop. Holds everything we need for the lunch rush and  is a doddle to clean at the end of the day. Really solid and  well-made."

Sarah Jones – The Filling Station, Bristol

"This countertop refrigerated prep display is exactly what our pub kitchen needed for our Sunday carvery extras. It's massive! Only dropped half a star because the glass was a bit fiddly to assemble on my own."

Michael Finn – The Fox & Hounds, York

"We use this for our salad bar in Leeds and  the temperature is rock solid. Keeps the lettuce crisp and  the tomatoes fresh all day. Customers have even commented on how good it looks."

No More Puddles: How the Continual Evaporator Helps

Ever noticed a little puddle of water inside or underneath a fridge? That's condensation, a natural part of the cooling process. Many units collect this in a tray that you have to empty manually. The King CRISTAL313.HD, however, features a continual evaporator system to handle this for you.

Think of it like a tiny, heated coaster placed under a cold drink on a summer's day. The system uses warmth from the compressor to gently evaporate the condensation as it's produced. This means no water trays to empty, no surprise puddles on your counter, and  a cleaner, more hygienic internal environment for your food with zero extra effort from you.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pizzeria & Kebab Shops: Keeps a full range of toppings chilled and  accessible for rapid pizza or kebab making.
  • Salad & Sandwich Bars: The perfect salad bar toppings fridge for displaying fresh ingredients and  building custom orders.
  • Busy Pubs & Restaurants: Ideal for a carvery station, jacket potato bar, or holding prepped garnishes for main courses.
  • Hotel Buffets: Great for breakfast service, holding cold meats, cheeses, fruit, and  yoghurts hygienically.
