Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Pilchard's Perch, a popular seafood bistro in Salcombe, Devon, needed more flexible point-of-use storage to speed up their main course prep. Their existing setup meant constant trips to the main walk-in freezer.

"This single drawer counter fridge freezer has been brilliant. We can keep our freshly prepped scallops chilled for lunch service, then switch it to a freezer for our frozen chips for the evening rush. It's right under the counter where we need it."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By installing the King KDA13 at their main grill station, the kitchen has reduced prep and  plating time by an estimated 20% during peak service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a spot on a flat, level surface to prevent vibration and  ensure the door seals correctly.
  • Leave at least 10cm of clear space around the back and  sides for proper air circulation.
  • Once in position, lock the castors to keep the unit firmly in place.
  • Let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the stainless steel surfaces and  internal seals daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Check the condenser coils monthly and  gently brush away any dust build-up to maintain efficiency.
  • Ensure the automatic defrost drain hole inside the unit is kept clear of debris.
  • Avoid slamming the drawer and  don't overload it beyond its 50kg weight capacity.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Undercounter Storage

Not sure what fits best in your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider when looking at a commercial undercounter drawer fridge.

Measure Twice, Buy Once

Check your under-counter height, width, and  depth. Remember to leave a 10cm gap around the unit for essential ventilation to prevent overheating.

Single or Dual Temp?

Decide if you need a dedicated fridge, a dedicated freezer, or the amazing flexibility of a unit like this that can switch between both modes.

Gastronorm Compatibility

This unit is built for GN1/1 pans, the UK industry standard. Check if your existing pans will slot straight in to make your life easier.

Check Your Sockets

Most counter units run on a standard 13-amp plug, but it's always wise to confirm it matches your kitchen's power outlets before purchase.

Kitchen Climate

Consider the ambient heat in your kitchen. A unit with a 'Climate Class 4' rating is designed to work effectively in professional environments up to 32°C.

Why Fan-Assisted Cooling is a Must-Have

Ever notice how a fan in a room on a hot day makes you feel cooler, even if the air temperature is the same? Fan-assisted cooling in a fridge works on a similar principle. Instead of just letting cold air settle where it may (which can create warmer and  cooler spots), a small internal fan keeps the air constantly moving. This ensures every corner of the drawer, and  every ingredient inside, is kept at the exact same, consistent temperature. The biggest benefit? When you open the drawer during a busy service, the fan helps pull the temperature back down to the set level almost instantly once closed. This rapid recovery is vital for maintaining food safety and  quality.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Restaurants: Ideal for under-counter use at a specific prep station, like fish or pastry.
  • Compact City Cafés: Maximises limited floor space by combining refrigeration and  freezing in one handy drawer unit.
  • Mobile Catering Vans: A robust, lockable unit perfect for keeping ingredients secure and  chilled on the move.
  • Hotel & Ghost Kitchens: Streamlines workflow by placing chilled or frozen items exactly where chefs need them, reducing movement.
