Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham was struggling with an old, inefficient display fridge that failed to do their beautiful bakes justice. They upgraded to the King SC408 to improve visibility and  create a more modern focal point in their popular café.

"The difference was immediate. Customers can see everything so clearly now thanks to the brilliant lighting, and  the black finish just looks so much smarter. It’s quiet, reliable, and  our cakes have never looked better."

Robert Davies – Owner

Since installation, The Lavender Bakehouse has seen a notable 25% increase in cake and  dessert sales, which they credit directly to the superior presentation of the new unit.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a suitable, level spot away from direct sunlight or heat sources like ovens.
  • Leave a gap of at least 20cm around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Once in position, let the unit stand for 3-4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Plug in and  allow it to reach its operating temperature before loading it with your delicious products.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior shelves and  glass daily with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Regularly check the door seals are clean and  making full contact to prevent cold air from escaping.
  • Ensure the ventilation grilles are kept clear of dust and  obstructions for efficient operation.
  • Schedule a regular manual defrost to remove any ice build-up and  maintain peak performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Patisserie Display Fridge

Not sure what fits your business best? Picking the right display refrigeration is key to boosting sales. Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Check the unit's height, width, and  depth against your available space, but don't forget to add extra room for crucial airflow around the unit.

Let There Be (the Right) Light

LED lighting is the modern standard for a reason. It showcases food beautifully without generating heat and  uses far less energy than old fluorescent tubes.

Capacity vs. Footprint

A generous 400-litre capacity is fantastic for busy spots, but make sure it matches your sales volume. An empty-looking fridge can be as bad as an overflowing one.

Power Up Properly

This model uses a standard 13-amp plug, which is perfect for most UK commercial settings. Always confirm your sockets can handle the load before buying.

Know Your Temperature

A range of 2°C to 10°C is perfect for the vast majority of cakes, pastries, and  chilled desserts, keeping them safe and  looking fresh.

Sweet Dreams: How the Pull-Down Blind Protects and  Saves

Ever wondered what the pull-down blind on this fridge is for? It's a surprisingly clever feature designed to save you money and  protect your products. When you close up for the night, simply pull the blind down over the glass front. Think of it like a cosy blanket for your fridge; it adds an extra layer of insulation, trapping the cold air inside more effectively. This means the refrigeration system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain temperature in an empty, warm shop. The result? Lower energy consumption on your next electricity bill and  your cakes are kept in perfect condition, ready for the morning rush.
