Kubus KCDL3HT Drop-In Chilled Deli Serve-Over Counter 1175mm

The Kubus KCDL3HT is a drop-in refrigerated serve-over counter designed to sit flush within a prepared countertop surface. It holds chilled deli produce, prepared salads, sandwiches, and cold beverages at safe serving temperatures throughout the trading day, presenting product at eye level behind full-height toughened glass. The design is intended for assisted service, making it a practical choice for staffed counters where both presentation and consistent temperature control matter.

The unit is built to run continuously without shutdown between services, which suits environments where the counter is in near-constant use. The refrigeration system uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which runs efficiently and carries a lower environmental footprint than older refrigerant types. An integral condensate evaporator removes the need for a site drainage connection, which simplifies installation considerably. Recovery after loading fresh product is steady, and a digital temperature display at operator level allows staff to keep an eye on conditions without interrupting service.

Day-to-day operation is straightforward in a number of practical ways:

• Front glass tilts forward on a locking hinge for full cleaning access to the display well without tools
• Removable modular deck plates in the chilled well simplify deep cleaning between services
• Diffused gantry lighting illuminates product evenly without creating hot spots
• A lockable control panel prevents accidental temperature adjustment during service
• An optional chopping board over the rear shelf provides a local prep surface without additional equipment

The condensing unit is underslung and relies on air grilles supplied with the unit — these must be correctly fitted and kept clear at all times. Restricted airflow will affect both performance and longevity, so this is worth planning carefully during installation. The unit arrives with a 2m lead and plug top, so no hardwired connection is required, but the countertop cutout must be prepared to the correct dimensions beforehand. At 133kg, it requires appropriate handling on site; a lifting kit is included. It is not suitable for installation without a properly prepared countertop surround.

This unit suits cafés, hotel breakfast counters, sandwich bars, delicatessens, and staff restaurants where a staffed chilled display is needed at point of service. The three full 1/1 GN capacity handles a modest to mid-range service volume comfortably. For higher-volume operations or longer counter runs, it is worth considering a larger or multi-section alternative before committing to this model.
