Cold bain marie Arktic 236185

A refrigerated salad prep counter that places ingredients on show while keeping them chilled beneath a glass extension. The unit combines a worktop for assembling salads and sandwiches with an under-counter refrigerated chamber, allowing staff to prepare dishes in full view of customers without compromising food safety or presentation.

The refrigeration system circulates cool air around the under-counter compartment, maintaining a steady temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C. This range keeps fresh vegetables, fruits, salads and ready-to-serve items at safe holding temperatures while preserving texture and colour. The glass extension above the worktop creates a display barrier that separates customers from the ingredients, ensuring hygiene without blocking visibility. An internal glass shelf within the extension provides additional space for showcasing finished dishes or extra ingredients, keeping them visible and accessible.

To use the counter, staff load ingredients into gastronorm containers and place them on the worktop or within the glass extension. The refrigerated compartment below is stocked with bulk ingredients or pre-prepared items, which can be transferred to the worktop as needed. The two doors on the front of the unit allow quick access to the under-counter storage, while the glass extension and internal shelf keep items on display without requiring additional refrigeration.

The counter is constructed with a stainless steel exterior and interior, providing a durable, easy-to-clean surface suitable for professional kitchens. The worktop measures 900 mm in width, offering ample space for preparation, while the refrigerated chamber beneath has a depth of 595 mm and a height of 500 mm. The unit is designed to accommodate two full-size gastronorm containers (GN 1/1) and three sixth-size containers (GN 1/6), each with a maximum height of 150 mm. No containers are supplied with the unit.

Controls are minimal, focusing on temperature regulation within the specified range. The 230 V voltage requirement means the unit connects to a standard single-phase power supply, making it suitable for most commercial kitchen setups without the need for special wiring.

The capacity of two GN 1/1 and three GN 1/6 containers allows for organised storage of different ingredients, enabling staff to keep frequently used items within reach while maintaining a tidy workspace. The 900 mm worktop width provides enough room for multiple containers and preparation tools, reducing the need to move items between stations. The +2/+8 °C temperature range ensures compliance with food safety standards for chilled storage, while the glass extension and internal shelf enhance presentation without additional refrigeration.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, focusing on the worktop, glass extension and internal shelf. The refrigerated compartment should be emptied and cleaned regularly to prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygiene. The glass surfaces require frequent cleaning to ensure clear visibility for customers.

The unit is positioned in the catalogue under refrigerated prep counters, specifically within the section for models with glass extensions designed for customer-facing preparation areas.
