Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Urban Pantry, a busy delicatessen in Leeds, needed to upgrade their old, unreliable refrigerated display. They wanted a unit that looked professional on their front counter and could keep their wide range of artisan sandwich fillings consistently cool during the hectic lunchtime rush.
"This Lincat bar has been fantastic. Our ingredients stay perfectly chilled, even when we're flat out. It looks smart on the counter, service is quicker, and our customers have commented on how fresh everything looks. It's just a solid, reliable piece of kit."
Ben Carter – Owner
Since installing the Lincat FDB5, The Urban Pantry has reduced daily food waste by over 15% and sped up their sandwich-making process significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the unit on a completely flat and stable countertop to ensure it runs correctly.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Simply plug it into a standard 13 amp wall socket – no special wiring needed.
- Allow the unit to run for at least an hour to reach its operating temperature before loading it with food.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe sanitiser.
- Remove and wash the gastronorm pans thoroughly after every service.
- Regularly check the ventilation grilles and gently brush away any dust to maintain efficiency.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive pads or scouring powders as they can scratch the stainless steel finish.

Explore more from LincatWhy Even Cooling Matters: A Look at Well Base & Side Refrigeration
Ever noticed how food at the top of a chilled display can sometimes seem less fresh than what's at the bottom? That’s often because the cooling only comes from the base. The Lincat FDB5 tackles this with its 'Well Base and Side Refrigeration' system, which is a bit of clever engineering that makes a huge difference to your food quality and safety.
Think of it like trying to cool a drink with an ice cube just at the bottom of the glass – the liquid at the top stays warmer for longer. This Lincat system is like having ice surrounding the bottom and sides of the glass. It wraps your gastronorm pans in cold air from multiple directions, ensuring a consistent, even temperature from top to bottom. This eliminates those risky warm spots and guarantees every last olive, tomato, or slice of ham is kept perfectly and safely chilled.
