Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Grill in Plymouth needed to replace an ageing prep fridge that was struggling to keep up with their busy seafood service. They chose the Inomak PN2229-HC for its robust build and the versatile drawer/door layout.
"The new counter has completely streamlined our prep station. Our chefs can grab what they need instantly from the drawers without having to rummage around. It's clipped minutes off our ticket times during the summer rush."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The result has been a significant improvement in kitchen workflow, allowing the team to increase their service speed by an estimated 25% during peak periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is placed on a firm, level surface to prevent rocking and noise.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Plug into a suitable 13 amp socket; avoid using extension cords.
- Allow the counter to reach its operating temperature for a few hours before loading it with produce.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and interior daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Clean the magnetic door and drawer gaskets weekly to ensure a perfect seal.
- Regularly check that the ventilation grilles are free from dust and obstructions.
- Avoid overloading drawers and shelves to allow cold air to circulate effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does Gastronorm (GN) compatible mean?
A: It means the counter is designed to perfectly fit standard Gastronorm container sizes (e.g., GN1/1), which is the universal standard for kitchen equipment.
Q: Can I place cooking equipment on top of this counter?
A: It is not recommended to place hot appliances directly on top as it can interfere with the cooling system's efficiency and potentially damage the surface.
Q: What is 'Climate Class 5'?
A: This is a rating that certifies the unit can operate efficiently and maintain its temperature in a demanding environment with ambient temperatures up to 43°C.
Q: Is the stainless steel difficult to keep clean?
A: Not at all. The high-grade AISI 304 steel is non-porous and, combined with the rounded internal corners, makes daily cleaning quick and simple.
Q: How does the automatic defrost feature work?
A: The system periodically warms the evaporator coil just enough to melt any ice that has formed, preventing buildup and ensuring the unit runs at peak efficiency.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient hydrocarbon refrigerant that has a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a much better choice for the environment.
Q: Are the castors lockable?
A: Yes, the unit comes with castors as standard, and at least two are lockable to keep the counter securely in place during service.
Q: What is the benefit of an epoxy coated evaporator?
A: The epoxy coating protects the evaporator coils from corrosion, which is common in humid kitchen environments, significantly extending the life of the cooling system.

Explore more from InomakWhy Forced Air Circulation is a Must-Have
Ever opened an old fridge and found that items at the back are almost frozen while things in the door are barely cool? That's the problem with basic static cooling. This Inomak counter uses 'forced air circulation', a much smarter system that makes a huge difference to your food's quality and safety.
Think of it like the difference between a still room and one with a ceiling fan on a hot day. The fan moves the air around, making the entire space feel consistently cool. This unit's internal fan does exactly the same thing, pushing chilled air into every single nook and cranny. This eliminates warm spots and ensures every ingredient, from the top drawer to the bottom shelf, is held at the precise, safe temperature you set.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Keep prepped ingredients perfectly organised and within arm's reach during frantic services.
- Large Cafes & Bistros: Ideal for storing salads, sandwich fillings, and dairy close to the main prep line.
- Hotel Kitchens: Streamlines breakfast, lunch, and dinner service with its incredibly flexible storage options.
- Catering Operations: A mobile and robust unit for event prep, keeping everything chilled and ready to go.
