  • Pro: Its excellent capacity-to-footprint ratio makes it ideal for tight spaces.
  • Con: The unit can be quite heavy at 71kg, so plan for a two-person lift.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Bakehouse in York needed to replace an old, inefficient counter fridge that was failing to keep consistent temperature and  looked dated. They chose the King KC160 for its modern look and  LED lighting to better highlight their freshly baked goods.

"It has honestly revitalised our counter. Everything looks so much more appealing under the LED lights, and  we’re no longer worried about temperature drops during a busy lunch rush. Customers are definitely noticing items they previously overlooked."

Robert Evans – Owner, The Old Bakehouse

Since installation, the bakery reports that sales of their high-margin chilled cakes and  desserts have increased by over 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is placed on a sturdy, level surface that can support its 71kg weight.
  • Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and  sides for proper air circulation to prevent overheating.
  • Before plugging in, give the exterior and  interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Once plugged in, allow the unit to reach its target temperature before loading it with products.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down interior surfaces and  shelves daily to maintain hygiene and  a professional appearance.
  • Clean the glass doors regularly with a suitable glass cleaner for a crystal-clear display.
  • Weekly, check and  wipe the door seals to ensure they are clean and  create a tight seal.
  • Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils at the back every few months to maintain efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Display

Not sure which chilled display is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider to make the perfect choice.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about how much you need to display versus how much counter space you can spare. This 160L model offers a great balance for most small to medium businesses.

Lighting Matters

Good lighting sells! LED lights, like in the King KC160, are energy-efficient and  make your products pop without generating heat that could affect the food.

Staff Access

How will your staff restock the unit? Rear-access sliding doors are brilliant for busy environments as they don’t disrupt the customer flow at the front.

Temperature Range

Check the unit’s temperature range (+2°C to +12°C here) suits the products you plan to sell, whether they are drinks, dairy, cakes, or sandwiches.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for smooth, wipeable surfaces. Stainless steel and  removable shelves are a massive plus for maintaining top hygiene standards with minimal fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this unit difficult to install?

A: Not at all. It comes fitted with a standard 13 amp plug, so you just need to position it, plug it in, and  let it cool before you start using it. No special electrical work is required.

Q: How do you adjust the shelves?

A: The shelves rest on clips that can be easily moved up or down inside the unit, allowing you to customise the space for taller items like bottles or larger cakes.

A: Yes, the LED lighting system is designed to be long-lasting, but replacement parts are available if ever needed.

A: This unit is designed to operate effectively in an environment with a maximum ambient temperature of 32°C.

Why Digital Temperature Control is a Must-Have

Ever wondered what 'digital temperature control' actually does for you? Think of it like cruise control for your car, but for chilling. Unlike older manual thermostats that can have wide temperature swings, a digital system constantly monitors the internal temperature and  makes tiny, precise adjustments to keep it exactly where you set it. This means no more accidentally frozen sandwiches or lukewarm drinks. It protects the quality and  safety of your food, reduces spoilage, and  gives you complete peace of mind that you're always compliant with food hygiene standards. It’s a small feature with a huge impact on your daily operations and  bottom line.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés: Perfect for displaying your signature cakes, pastries, and  sandwiches right at the point of sale.
  • Village & Convenience Stores: An ideal grab-and-go solution for chilled drinks, yoghurts, and  pre-packaged snacks.
  • Deli Counters & Sandwich Bars: Showcase fresh fillings, salads, and  cooked meats clearly and  hygienically to tempt customers.
  • Farm Shops & Bakeries: Beautifully presents your fresh pies, quiches, local cheeses, and  other chilled artisanal products.
