Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Urban Crust Pizzeria' in Leeds needed to streamline their prep line. Their old refrigerators were inconsistent and couldn't keep up with their Friday night demand, leading to wasted ingredients and slower service.
"We slotted two of these Koldbox fridges under our main prep counter, and the difference was immediate. Everything is uniformly cold, ingredients are at our fingertips, and the kitchen flow is just so much smoother. It’s taken a lot of stress out of our busiest periods."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since the upgrade, Urban Crust Pizzeria has seen a 25% reduction in prep time for their most popular pizzas during peak hours, allowing them to increase their order capacity significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure you leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Once in position, use a spirit level to ensure the unit is perfectly flat before locking the castors.
- Let the refrigerator stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Wipe down the interior with a food-safe sanitiser before loading it with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the door gaskets (seals) weekly with a damp cloth to prevent mould and ensure a tight seal.
- Regularly check that the ventilation grills are not blocked by boxes or other equipment.
- Clean the interior with a solution of warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda to keep it fresh.
- Use a stainless steel cleaner on the exterior to maintain its professional shine and remove fingerprints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the shelves inside adjustable?
A: Yes, this model comes with two adjustable shelves, allowing you to customise the internal space to suit your storage needs.
Q: Can the unit be moved easily for cleaning?
A: Absolutely. It comes with heavy-duty castors as standard, two of which are lockable, so you can wheel it out for cleaning and then securely lock it back in place.
Q: What is the temperature range of this double door counter refrigerator?
A: The unit operates between +2°C and +8°C, which is the ideal range for safely storing most fresh food, dairy, and prepared ingredients.
Q: Do the doors stay open if needed?
A: Yes, the self-closing doors have a 'dwell' position, meaning they can stay open when pushed past 90 degrees, which is very handy for loading and unloading.
Q: What does 'Climate Class 4' mean?
A: Climate Class 4 indicates the fridge is designed to operate efficiently in an ambient temperature of up to 30°C and 55% relative humidity, typical for a professional kitchen.
Q: What kind of power supply does it need?
A: It runs on a standard 13 amp supply, so you can plug it straight into a regular UK mains socket. No special wiring is required.
Q: How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?
A: For best results, use a soft cloth and a dedicated stainless steel cleaner, always wiping in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a highly efficient and natural refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a more environmentally friendly choice that also helps reduce running costs.

Explore more from KoldboxHow Ducted Cooling Keeps Your Ingredients Fresher
Ever had a fridge where things at the back are nearly frozen but items by the door feel a bit lukewarm? That's what a 'ducted air system' is designed to prevent. Think of it like central heating for your house, but in reverse. Instead of one single cold spot blowing air around randomly, a ducted system uses a series of small vents to distribute the chilled air evenly throughout the entire cabinet. This means the temperature on the top shelf by the door is just as reliably cold as the bottom shelf at the back. For a professional kitchen, this means more consistent food safety, less spoilage, and ingredients that stay fresher for longer, no matter where you store them.
