Food Display Cabinet

A refrigerated prep-top counter measuring 1200 x 395 x 435 mm, running ventilated cooling from -2 to +10°C on R134a with automatic defrost and a digital thermostat. A prep top is a working surface as much as a fridge: ingredients sit in wells within reach while the cabinet below holds backup stock cold.

Who it suits

For sandwich stations, salad bars and pizza lines assembling to order from several components. The -2°C lower limit is unusually cold for a prep unit, which helps hold product safely through a long service in a warm kitchen. Note the 395 mm depth: this is a countertop unit, not a full-depth prep counter.

Common questions

Is this a full prep counter?
No. At 395 mm deep it is a countertop salad chiller that sits on a bench, not a floor-standing prep counter with storage below.

Why does the -2°C limit matter?
Open prep wells lose cold to the room. A lower set point gives headroom so ingredients stay in the safe range through a long service.

What does ventilated cooling do?
A fan circulates cold air so all wells hold the same temperature, rather than the ends running warmer.

Does it defrost automatically?
Yes, which avoids manual defrost cycles interrupting service.
