Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to replace their ageing prep fridge which was struggling to keep up with their busy summer service. They chose the Inomak PN999-HC for its capacity and robust build.
"It’s been an absolute workhorse. The space is brilliant, and having everything perfectly chilled right under the prep counter has made our service so much smoother. It’s quiet, reliable, and the team loves how easy it is to keep clean."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since installation, the bistro has been able to expand its menu and has reported a 20% reduction in food prep time during peak periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat, level surface – adjust the castors if needed.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper air circulation.
- Once in place, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to let the refrigerant settle.
- Plug into a suitable 13 amp socket; avoid using extension cords.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the door seals (gaskets) weekly with a damp cloth to ensure a tight seal.
- Clean any spills inside immediately to prevent odours and maintain hygiene.
- Regularly check that the ventilation grilles are not blocked by boxes or other items.
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a suitable cleaner to keep it looking professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is AISI 304 stainless steel?
A: It's a high-grade, food-safe stainless steel known for its excellent durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for the demands of a commercial kitchen.
Q: How does the automatic defrost work?
A: The system automatically heats the cooling element for short periods to melt any ice build-up, which then evaporates away. This prevents ice from affecting performance and saves you from having to do it manually.
Q: Are the shelves adjustable?
A: Yes, the shelves rest on clip-on guides, allowing you to adjust their height to accommodate different sized containers and ingredients.
Q: Can I put hot pans directly on the stainless steel top?
A: While stainless steel is heat-resistant, it's always best practice to use trivets for very hot pans to avoid any potential warping and to protect the surface.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a natural, highly efficient refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a much more environmentally friendly choice than older refrigerants.
Q: How do I clean the interior?
A: The rounded corners and removable shelves make it very easy. Simply use a food-safe sanitiser and a soft cloth. The clip-on shelf guides can also be removed for a deep clean.
Q: Do the castors have brakes?
A: Yes, the front two castors are fitted with brakes to ensure the unit stays securely in place once you've positioned it.
Q: Is this unit suitable for storing fresh meat?
A: Absolutely. The temperature range of +1°C to +10°C is suitable for most chilled produce, including properly stored fresh meat and poultry.

Explore more from InomakThe Secret to Consistent Chilling: How Forced Air Circulation Works
Ever had a fridge where things at the back freeze while items by the door are barely cool? 'Forced air circulation' is the clever technology that solves that problem. Think of it like a convection oven, but for cooling. A small, built-in fan gently pushes chilled air all around the inside of the cabinet, top to bottom, front to back. This means there are no 'warm spots' or 'cold corners'. Every single ingredient, whether it's a tub of coleslaw or a fresh fillet of fish, is kept at a consistent, food-safe temperature, no matter where you place it inside.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants: Ideal as a central prep station for starters and mains, keeping ingredients close at hand.
- Pub & Gastropub Kitchens: Perfect for organising Sunday roast trimmings or prepped items for a large menu.
- School & University Canteens: Offers the high capacity needed for storing sandwich fillings, salads, and dairy.
- Hotel Kitchens: A fantastic unit for breakfast buffet prep or room service overflow storage.
