Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour View Bistro in Torquay was struggling with inconsistent chilling and  a lack of space in their old units, leading to service delays. They upgraded to the King KP1200 double door catering fridge to centralise their cold storage.

"The sheer space and  the GN compatibility have been brilliant. We can prep entire trays of food and  slide them straight in, which is a massive help during the summer rush. It's just so reliable; we set the temperature and  forget about it."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The bistro has streamlined its prep process, cutting down ticket times during peak service by an average of 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface to help the doors seal correctly and  the motor run quietly.
  • Leave a gap of at least 20cm around the back and  top for ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Once plugged in, allow the fridge to reach its target temperature before you start loading it with food.
  • Use the lockable castors to secure the unit in place once you're happy with its position.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the door seals weekly with a damp cloth to remove grime and  ensure a tight seal.
  • Regularly clean the interior with a food-safe sanitiser to maintain hygiene standards.
  • Check that the interior fan is not obstructed by food items to ensure even air circulation.
  • Gently brush any dust from the condenser coils at the back every few months to maintain efficiency.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fridge

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Choosing the right commercial refrigeration is crucial. Here are a few key things to consider.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about your peak demand. A large 1200 litre commercial refrigerator is great, but make sure you have the floor space. Measure your intended location carefully, including doorways and  corridors for delivery.

Energy Efficiency

A fridge runs 24/7, so its energy rating matters. A more efficient unit might cost more initially but will save you significant money on electricity bills over its lifespan. Look for modern refrigerants like R290.

Ambient Temperature

Kitchens get hot! Check the 'Max Ambient Temperature' rating. A fridge needs to work harder in a hot environment, so choose one designed to handle the heat of your specific kitchen.

Gastronorm (GN) Compatibility

If you use GN pans for cooking and  prep, a GN-compatible fridge is a must-have. It streamlines your entire operation, saving immense time and  labour by reducing food handling.

Build Material

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason. It’s tough, resistant to rust and  corrosion, and  incredibly easy to keep hygienically clean, making it perfect for the demands of a commercial kitchen.

Unlock Kitchen Efficiency: The Power of a Gastronorm (GN) Compatible Interior

Ever wonder what 'GN Compatible' actually means for your kitchen? Gastronorm is a European standard for kitchenware sizes, creating a universal system for trays, pans, and  containers. A fridge with a 2/1 GN compatible interior, like this one, is designed so that the largest standard trays (530x650mm) slide perfectly onto its shelves.

Think of it like universal Lego for your kitchen. Instead of messing about transferring prepped food from a tray to a different container to fit in the fridge, you can take the entire tray from your prep station (or even a combi oven) and  slide it straight in. This saves an incredible amount of time, reduces washing up, and  minimises food handling, which is a big win for hygiene. It's a simple feature that has a massive impact on daily efficiency.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Pubs: The perfect upright commercial catering refrigerator for storing bulk produce, meats, and  prepped dishes for a full service week.
  • Educational & Institutional Kitchens: Easily handles the high-volume storage needs for school canteens, university halls, and  hospital catering.
  • Hotels & Event Caterers: Its huge Gastronorm-ready capacity makes prepping for banquets, weddings, and  large functions a breeze.
  • Large Farm Shops & Delis: Ideal for keeping a wide range of fresh, local produce, cheeses, and  charcuterie perfectly chilled and  accessible.
