Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Pig Charcuterie in Bristol needed to scale up its storage after securing a contract with several local delis. Their collection of smaller chest freezers was inefficient and  disorganised, leading to stock management headaches.

"The King KF1200 upright freezer has completely streamlined our back-of-house. We can see everything at a glance, the GN compatibility is brilliant for our curing trays, and  it just keeps on performing. It's made our production process so much smoother."

Robert Davies – Owner

The new freezer helped them reduce stock-check times by over 50% and  improved their production workflow, allowing them to increase output to meet new demand.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, check for any transit damage before the courier leaves.
  • Position the freezer on a flat, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources like ovens.
  • Once in place, leave it to stand for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle.
  • Plug it in, switch it on, and  allow it to reach the target temperature before loading it with stock.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the door seals weekly with a damp cloth to ensure they remain clean and  effective.
  • Every month, check the condenser coils for dust build-up and  clean gently with a soft brush to maintain efficiency.
  • Regularly check the digital temperature display to ensure it's operating correctly.
  • Keep the stainless steel exterior and  interior clean using appropriate non-abrasive cleaners.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Freezer

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a freezer for your business.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Make sure the freezer's external dimensions will fit through your doors and  into its designated space, while ensuring the internal capacity meets your storage needs.

Gastronorm (GN) Compatibility

If you use GN pans in your kitchen, choosing a GN-compatible freezer like this one is a massive time-saver, allowing for seamless workflow.

Climate Class

This tells you the maximum ambient temperature the unit can work in effectively. Class 4 is great for most UK commercial kitchens, but Class 5 is better for very hot environments.

Energy Efficiency

Look at the energy rating and  the refrigerant type (like R290). A more efficient unit will save you significant money on electricity over its lifespan.

Material & Build

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  easy to clean, making it perfect for tough kitchen environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 2/1 Gastronorm (GN) compatible mean?

A: It means the freezer's internal shelving is designed to hold two 1/1 GN pans side-by-side, or one large 2/1 GN pan, which is a standard size in commercial kitchens.

Q: Can I adjust the shelf height inside the freezer?

A: Yes, this model comes with six adjustable shelves, allowing you to customise the storage space to fit different sized items.

Q: What kind of power supply does the King KF1200 freezer need?

A: It plugs directly into a standard UK 13 amp socket, so no special electrical installation is required.

Q: Do the doors have locks?

A: Yes, the doors are fully lockable, providing security for your valuable stock, especially overnight.

Q: Is this upright storage freezer for restaurants easy to move for cleaning?

A: Absolutely. It's fitted with sturdy castors (wheels) so it can be moved easily, and  they can be locked to keep it securely in place during use.

Q: What is the ideal room temperature for this freezer to work in?

A: As a Climate Class 4 unit, it's designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, typical of a busy commercial kitchen.

Q: What does a 'self-closing' door do?

A: The doors are hinged to automatically swing shut if left slightly ajar, preventing cold air from escaping and  saving energy.

Q: How do I best clean the stainless steel?

A: Use a soft cloth and  a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or warm, soapy water. Always wipe in the direction of the steel's 'grain' to avoid scratches.

Why R290 Refrigerant is a Smarter Choice

Seeing 'R290 Refrigerant' in the specs might not mean much at first glance, but it's a huge benefit for your kitchen and  your wallet. In simple terms, R290 is a type of natural hydrocarbon gas. Unlike older, artificial refrigerants (HFCs) that are damaging to the ozone layer, R290 has a near-zero environmental impact. Think of it like this: it’s the clean energy of the refrigeration world. Not only is it kinder to the planet, but it's also more efficient at transferring heat. This means your freezer's compressor doesn't have to work as hard to keep things cold, which translates directly into lower electricity bills for you month after month.
