Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling pizza takeaway in Cardiff, was struggling with a cramped and inefficient prep area, causing delays during their Friday night rush. They upgraded to the Inomak Four Door Prep Counter to consolidate their ingredient storage and workspace into one unit.
"It's completely reorganised our kitchen flow. Everything is right where we need it, perfectly chilled. The team can work faster and without getting in each other's way. Our order-to-door time has definitely improved."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a 30% reduction in order preparation time during peak service, significantly boosting their capacity and customer satisfaction.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat, level surface to allow doors to close properly.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
- Once in position, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Before loading with food, switch it on and allow it to reach its target operating temperature.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Check the magnetic door gaskets weekly for any splits or damage to ensure a tight seal.
- Clean the condenser coils (usually at the back or underneath) every few months to remove dust build-up, which improves efficiency.
- Ensure the interior drainage hole is clear of any debris to prevent water build-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does GN1/1 compatible mean?
A: It means the shelving and internal layout are designed to perfectly fit standard 'Gastronorm 1/1' pans (530x325mm), which are used across most commercial kitchen equipment.
Q: What is the purpose of the raised collar on the worktop?
A: The raised collar, or upstand, acts as a splashback. It prevents ingredients, liquids, and utensils from falling down the gap between the unit and the wall, making cleaning much easier.
Q: How often does the automatic defrost run?
A: The defrost cycle is managed automatically by the controller. It typically runs several times a day for short periods to prevent ice build-up without affecting the internal temperature.
Q: Can I fit this unit with wheels?
A: Yes, castors are available as an optional extra, which can make moving the unit for deep cleaning much simpler.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient, and environmentally friendly refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a greener choice than older refrigerants.
Q: Is the AISI 304 stainless steel difficult to keep clean?
A: Not at all. AISI 304 is a high-grade, corrosion-resistant steel. A daily wipe-down with a soft cloth and appropriate cleaner is all that's needed to keep it looking pristine.
Q: Do the doors stay open by themselves?
A: The doors are self-closing to save energy, but they will stay open if pushed past 90 degrees, which is very handy for loading and unloading ingredients in bulk.
Q: How much ventilation space does this prep counter need?
A: We recommend leaving a gap of at least 10cm around the back and sides of the unit to ensure the refrigeration system can breathe and operate efficiently.

Explore more from InomakWhy Forced Air Circulation is a Must-Have
Ever had a fridge where things at the back are frozen solid but items by the door feel a bit lukewarm? That's what 'Forced Air Circulation' is designed to prevent. Think of it like a fan oven, but for cooling. A small, internal fan constantly moves the cold air around the entire cabinet, from top to bottom and front to back. This ensures there are no 'warm spots' and that every single ingredient, no matter where it's placed, is kept at the same, safe, and consistent temperature. It's a crucial feature for food safety and for keeping your produce fresher for longer.
Who Should Buy This?
- Large Restaurants & Hotels: Perfect for the main prep line, handling high volumes of ingredients for diverse menus with ease.
- Busy Sandwich Bars & Delis: Keep all your fillings, meats, and salads perfectly chilled and instantly accessible for rapid service.
- Pizzerias & Takeaways: An ideal station for assembling orders with a large worktop and ample refrigerated storage for toppings.
- Canteens & Contract Caterers: A reliable and hygienic hub for preparing large quantities of meals efficiently and safely day after day.
