- Cons: The +1°C to +10°C range is ideal for drinks and general prep, but not for raw meat.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Anchor & Compass", a popular gastropub in Whitby, needed to replace their ageing under-bar bottle coolers. Their old units were inefficient and couldn't be used for anything other than drinks, creating workflow bottlenecks during busy food services.
"We chose the Inomak because it gave us the flexibility we desperately needed. We can now store our most popular bottled ales right next to our prepped salad and dessert ingredients. It’s streamlined our service, especially on packed Friday nights."
Michael Davies – General Manager
Since installation, the pub has reported a 20% reduction in their refrigeration energy costs and a much smoother service flow between the bar and kitchen.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and ensure the doors close properly.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation to avoid overheating.
- Before plugging in, let the refrigerator stand for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Plug into a dedicated 13-amp socket; avoid using extension cords for safety and performance.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior surfaces and door seals weekly with a food-safe cleaner.
- The removable magnetic door gasket can be taken off for a thorough clean to maintain a perfect seal.
- Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils every few months to maintain cooling efficiency.
- Check that the automatic condensate water evaporation tray is clear and functioning correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the shelves be adjusted to different heights?
A: Yes, the clip-on guides allow for some flexibility in positioning the shelves to accommodate different sized items or bottles.
Q: What does 'Climate Class 4' mean?
A: This indicates the fridge is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures up to 30°C and 55% humidity, typical for a professional kitchen.
Q: Is this double hinged glass door counter refrigerator suitable for storing fresh meat?
A: With a temperature range of +1°C to +10°C, it's ideal for drinks, dairy, and general produce. For raw meat storage, a dedicated meat fridge operating closer to 0°C is recommended.
Q: How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?
A: Use a soft cloth and a cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel, wiping in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient hydrocarbon refrigerant that has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
Q: Can this unit be built into a counter?
A: It's designed as a freestanding unit. You must ensure adequate ventilation space around the sides and back, so building it in tightly is not recommended.
Q: Does the automatic defrost require any manual intervention?
A: No, the system works automatically to prevent ice build-up on the evaporator. The resulting water is then automatically evaporated, so you don't need to do a thing.
Q: Are the castors lockable?
A: Yes, commercial refrigerators typically come with front-locking castors to secure the unit in place once you've positioned it.

Ever noticed in a standard fridge how items at the back get icy while things in the door feel a bit warmer? That’s static cooling. This Inomak unit uses 'Forced Air Circulation', which is a much smarter way to chill. Think of it like a small fan inside the fridge that gently and continuously pushes cold air all around the cabinet. This means every single bottle, pan, and ingredient gets the same amount of cold air, no matter where it’s placed. The result is consistent, reliable cooling, which keeps your food safer and your drinks perfectly chilled from top to bottom.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Pubs & Bars: Keep your best-selling craft beers and ciders perfectly chilled and displayed under the counter for fast service.
- Modern Cafés: Ideal for storing milk, soft drinks, and pre-made sandwiches, with easy access during the lunchtime rush.
- Restaurant Kitchens: A great under-counter solution for holding prepped ingredients in GN pans for the salad or dessert station.
