- Cons: At 154kg, it's a heavy bit of kit, so plan your installation route.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Salad Days', a popular lunch spot in Leeds, were struggling with three separate under-counter fridges, which created a bottleneck in their small kitchen. They upgraded to the Inomak Triple Door Prep Counter to consolidate their cold storage and prep space into one efficient unit.
"It's completely streamlined our service. Everything is in one place, perfectly chilled, and the raised collar means less mess. We're getting orders out the door so much faster now, and the kitchen feels far less chaotic."
Robert Green – Head Chef
The result? Salad Days successfully reduced their average ticket time by 3 minutes during the peak lunch hour, increasing overall output by 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the unit is on a firm, level surface to allow doors to close properly and the motor to run quietly.
- Leave at least 10cm of space around the back and sides for proper ventilation – this is crucial for efficiency!
- Before plugging in, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser.
- Let the fridge run for a few hours to reach its optimal temperature before loading it with stock.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth. For a streak-free shine, always wipe with the grain.
- Clean the magnetic door gaskets weekly with warm, soapy water to ensure a tight seal.
- Check the condenser unit every month or so and gently brush away any dust or debris build-up.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the stainless steel finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size Gastronorm (GN) pans can I use in the raised collar?
A: The collar is designed to accommodate GN pans with a maximum depth of 150mm. Please note that the pans are not included with the unit.
Q: Is the defrosting process automatic?
A: Yes, it features an automatic defrost cycle, which saves you time and ensures the unit operates efficiently without ice build-up.
Q: Can the shelves inside be adjusted?
A: Yes, the shelves rest on clip-on guides, which allow for some adjustment to accommodate different sized items.
Q: What is R290 refrigerant?
A: R290 (Propane) is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant with a very low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a greener choice.
Q: Does this unit have wheels?
A: This model comes with sturdy feet as standard. Castors (wheels) are available as an optional extra for easier movement and cleaning.
Q: How do I clean the stainless steel?
A: For best results, use a soft cloth and a dedicated stainless steel cleaner, always wiping in the direction of the steel's grain to avoid scratches.
Q: Can I place this unit directly against a wall?
A: No, it is essential to leave adequate space (we recommend at least 10cm) around the back and sides for ventilation to prevent the motor from overheating.
Q: What does the 'self-closing door' feature do?
A: The doors are hinged to automatically swing shut from 90 degrees, which helps to maintain the internal temperature and improve energy efficiency during busy periods.

Explore more from InomakWhy Forced Air Circulation is a Must-Have
Ever noticed how a standard home fridge sometimes has warmer spots, especially by the door? In a commercial kitchen, that's a recipe for disaster. 'Forced Air Circulation' solves this problem completely. Think of it like a gentle, chilly breeze that's constantly moving inside the fridge. A small fan actively pushes cold air around every corner, over and under the shelves, ensuring there are no warm pockets. It means the salad at the front is just as crisp and cold as the chicken at the back. When you open a door and warm air rushes in, this system gets the temperature back down to a safe level in a flash, protecting your ingredients and giving you peace of mind.
