Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salad Days', a bustling lunch spot in Leeds, needed to speed up their service to cope with the growing queues. They replaced two separate under-counter fridges and a countertop unit with this single Infrico triple door refrigerated prep counter.
"It has completely reorganised our prep line for the better. Everything is in one place, perfectly chilled and easy to grab. Our service is faster, our kitchen is calmer, and the unit itself is an absolute tank. We couldn't be happier with it."
Mark Chen – Head Chef
By consolidating their prep and refrigeration, Salad Days managed to reduce average order fulfilment time by over 25% during the busy lunch rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is positioned on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and ensure doors close properly.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation – this is crucial for efficiency.
- Before plugging in, allow the unit to stand for a few hours to let the refrigerant oils settle after transport.
- Once on, let it reach its operating temperature before loading it with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Clean the door seals (gaskets) weekly to ensure they remain supple and provide a tight seal.
- Regularly check and clear the condenser coils of dust and debris to maintain cooling efficiency.
- Empty and clean the interior thoroughly on a regular basis to maintain food hygiene standards.
