Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby needed to upgrade its ageing prep fridge to cope with a surge in summer tourist trade. Their old unit couldn't keep up, leading to temperature fluctuations and a cramped workspace.
"The Inomak counter has been fantastic. The glass doors save us so much time, and the workspace on top is massive. We can now have two staff prepping side-by-side without getting in each other's way. It’s made our service much smoother."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
Since installation, The Harbour View Bistro has increased its lunchtime service speed by 30%, handling more covers with less stress.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit has at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation.
- Position on a flat, level surface. Lock the castors once you're happy with the placement.
- Once in position, let the unit stand for at least 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant to settle.
- Plug into a suitable 13 amp mains socket – no extension cords, please!
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and food-safe cleaner.
- Clean the door gaskets (seals) weekly to ensure they provide a tight seal and prevent cold air from escaping.
- Gently brush any dust or debris from the condenser coils at the back every month to maintain peak efficiency.
- Regularly check the digital temperature display to ensure it's operating within the correct range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this prep counter come on wheels?
A: Yes, it comes with castors as standard, making it easy to move for cleaning. Two of the castors are lockable to keep it securely in place during use.
Q: What does GN 1/1 compatible mean?
A: It means the shelving is designed to perfectly fit standard Gastronorm 1/1 containers (530 x 325mm), which is the most common size used in professional kitchens.
Q: Are the shelves adjustable?
A: Yes, the shelves rest on clip-on guides, allowing you to adjust their height to accommodate different sized ingredients or containers.
Q: What is automatic defrost?
A: The unit automatically heats the cooling element for short periods to melt any ice that has formed. This prevents ice build-up and ensures the fridge runs efficiently without you having to manually defrost it.
Q: How do I clean the stainless steel?
A: For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to avoid scratches.
Q: What is the exact temperature range?
A: This counter can be set to operate between +1°C and +10°C, making it ideal for a wide range of fresh ingredients.
Q: Does this need a special electrical connection?
A: No, it runs off a standard 13 amp supply, so you can plug it into any regular UK mains socket.
Q: Is the glass in the doors durable?
A: Absolutely. It uses triple-glazed, tempered glass, which is designed to withstand the knocks and bumps of a busy commercial kitchen while providing excellent insulation.

Explore more from InomakCool, Calm, and Consistent: The Power of Forced Air Circulation
Ever had a fridge where things at the back are frozen solid but items by the door are lukewarm? That’s what happens without good air circulation. This Inomak prep counter uses ‘Forced Air Circulation’, which is a simple but brilliant bit of tech. It uses a fan to constantly move the cold air around the entire cabinet, a bit like a convection oven does with heat. This eliminates those pesky hot and cold spots, ensuring that every single tomato, slice of ham, and pot of coleslaw is kept at the exact same, safe temperature, no matter where you place it inside. It means better food safety and longer-lasting fresh ingredients.
