Commercial Counter Fridges

How to choose the right Commercial Counter Fridges

• Measure your available space carefully and decide how many doors or drawers you need for efficient service.
• Match the internal capacity and gastronorm compatibility to your menu and volume of chilled ingredients.
• Choose between standard worktops or specialist prep counters such as pizza or salad stations for front or back of house.
• Consider energy efficiency ratings, insulation quality and compressor type to control running costs.
• Check door configuration, handle style and working height to suit your kitchen layout and workflow.
• Look for features like splashbacks, low-height designs or undermounted systems where ventilation or access is restricted.

Care and maintenance

• Wipe down internal and external stainless steel surfaces daily with food-safe cleaner to maintain hygiene.
• Clean door gaskets regularly and inspect for splits or gaps to ensure a tight seal and consistent temperature.
• Vacuum or brush condenser coils monthly to prevent dust build-up and protect cooling performance.
• Defrost the unit as recommended by the manufacturer to avoid ice build-up around the evaporator.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage stainless steel and internal liners.
• Schedule periodic professional servicing to check refrigerant levels, fans and temperature controls.
