  • Pro: The solid top is a huge plus for prep efficiency.
  • Con: Static cooling is less suitable for frequent, rapid door opening.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Lunchbox Co." in Cardiff was struggling with an old, unreliable fridge and  a cramped prep area that was causing bottlenecks during the busy lunch rush. They upgraded to the King MS901.HD to gain both dependable cooling and  a dedicated prep zone in one.

"It's been brilliant. Having everything we need for our sandwiches chilled and  right under the prep surface has streamlined our whole operation. It’s quiet, holds its temperature perfectly, and  the stainless top is a breeze to clean down after a busy service."

Robert Evans – Owner

The new setup has directly led to a smoother workflow, helping them reduce average order prep time by over 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, check the unit for any transit damage before signing.
  • Let it stand upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow refrigerant oils to settle.
  • Position it on a flat, level surface, using the lockable front castors to secure it in place.
  • Ensure you leave at least 20cm of space around the unit for proper air circulation and  ventilation.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and  interior surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Regularly clean the door seals (gaskets) to ensure they are free from debris for a perfect seal.
  • Check that the internal fan is not obstructed by food items to maintain airflow.
  • Periodically check and  clear the condenser coils of dust to ensure maximum cooling efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Not sure which prep counter is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the right one for your business.

Measure Your Space

Always measure the intended location carefully, remembering to leave extra room for ventilation, especially at the back and  sides.

Consider Your Menu

What will you be storing? The need for Gastronorm pan compatibility, or for storing taller bottles, will influence your choice of doors, drawers, and  internal layout.

Doors vs. Drawers

Doors offer flexible shelf space for larger items. Drawers are fantastic for quick, organised access to smaller, portioned ingredients like cheese slices or salad toppings.

Worktop Material

A solid stainless steel top is a great all-rounder for general prep. If you work with dough, a marble or granite top might be a better, specialist choice.

Compressor Placement

Bottom-mounted compressors, like on this model, raise the bottom shelf, making it easier to access. They are often better in hotter kitchens as they draw in cooler air from floor level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I put other appliances on the solid top work surface?

A: Yes, the stainless steel top is robust enough for light-duty appliances like blenders or microwaves, as long as they don't block ventilation or weigh too much.

Q: What is 'Climate Class 4'?

A: This is a rating that indicates the fridge is designed to operate effectively in ambient (room) temperatures of up to 30°C and  55% humidity, typical for a professional kitchen.

Q: Does this fridge require any special installation?

A: No, it's a 'plug and  play' unit. It comes with a standard 13 amp plug, so you just need to position it, let it settle, and  plug it into a suitable socket.

Q: Are the shelves inside adjustable?

A: Yes, this model comes with two shelves that can be positioned at different heights to accommodate items of various sizes.

Q: How do I move it for cleaning?

A: The unit is fitted with wheels (castors), two of which are lockable. Simply unlock the front castors to roll the unit out for easy cleaning underneath and  behind.

Q: What is the benefit of a bottom-mounted compressor?

A: It raises the internal floor of the fridge, meaning you don't have to bend down as far to get things from the bottom shelf. It also tends to be more efficient in hot environments.

Q: How do I clean the stainless steel?

A: Use a soft cloth with warm water and  a mild, non-abrasive detergent. For best results, wipe in the direction of the steel's 'grain' and  dry thoroughly afterwards.

Q: What is the net capacity versus the gross capacity?

A: Gross capacity (240L) is the total empty volume. Net capacity (159L) is the usable storage space once you account for shelves, the compressor step, and  other internal components.

What Customers Are Saying

Sarah Jones – Sandwich Shop, Manchester

"Really happy with this double door commercial fridge counter. It slotted right into our kitchen and  the castors made it easy to position. A huge improvement on our old unit."

Why Static Cooling with a Fan Makes a Difference

Ever wondered what 'static cooling with fan' actually means? It’s a clever system that gives you the best of both worlds. Traditional static cooling works like your fridge at home – cold air falls naturally from a cooling element at the top. It’s great for keeping food like salads and  deli meats fresh without drying them out.

The 'with fan' part adds a small, low-powered fan inside. This doesn't blast cold air around like a full 'fan-assisted' system (which can sometimes dehydrate uncovered food). Instead, it gently circulates the air, ensuring there are no warm spots and  helping the fridge get back to temperature quicker after you’ve opened the door. Think of it as a gentle breeze ensuring consistent coolness, rather than a strong wind. This makes it ideal for storing a variety of sensitive ingredients.
