Designline Drop-In Slimline Multideck Assisted Service 600mm

The Designline Drop-In Slimline Multideck is a chilled open-front display unit designed to sit within or alongside a counter surface, presenting refrigerated product across three shelves in a compact 600mm footprint. It operates as an assisted-service unit, meaning customers view the display while staff serve from the rear via hinged doors — a format commonly used in patisserie, deli, and grab-and-go counters where presentation and portion control both matter.

The curved toughened glass construction gives clear product visibility from the front while the stainless steel and aluminium finish holds up well under the cleaning routines of a busy service environment. The temperature window of -1°C to 5°C covers chilled patisserie, prepared desserts, sandwiches, and similar produce, and the digital controller makes it straightforward to monitor and adjust without specialist knowledge. At a noise level of 63.8dB this is not a silent unit, so placement in quieter retail settings is worth considering.

From a practical standpoint, several features reduce the daily maintenance burden:

• Integrated water evaporator eliminates the need for a fixed drain point on site
• Removable deck plates simplify cleaning between services
• Locking castors and an adjustable centre foot allow the unit to be repositioned without full disassembly
• Rear access doors allow fast restocking during service without disrupting the front display
• R290 refrigerant offers a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant types

Because this unit drops into a counter or island, the surrounding counter structure needs to be designed or adapted to accommodate the unit's dimensions and allow adequate airflow around the refrigeration components. It weighs 145kg, so both the counter surface and the floor beneath should be confirmed as suitable before installation. There is no requirement for a dedicated drainage connection, but a nearby power supply will be needed. This is a special-to-order product and is non-returnable, so confirming the correct specification before ordering is important.

This unit is well suited to smaller catering establishments, hotel buffet counters, patisseries, and cafés where display space is at a premium but product presentation remains a priority. For operations with higher throughput or larger display requirements, wider or higher-capacity alternatives are available in the Designline range.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your counter configuration or service volume, the team is happy to work through the details with you before you commit to an order.
