Kubus KMDF4HT Drop-In Self-Service Multideck 1525mm

The Kubus KMDF4HT is a drop-in refrigerated multideck designed to sit flush within a servery counter or purpose-built cabinetry. At 1525mm wide, it combines three adjustable chilled glass shelves at eye level with a chilled GN well beneath, giving operators both a display and a lower-level merchandising area within a single counter footprint. It is intended for customer-facing, self-service environments where chilled food or drink is presented, held at temperature, and accessed without staff involvement.

The unit runs on an R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant system, which operates efficiently under sustained use and carries a lower global warming potential than older refrigerant types — a relevant consideration for operators working toward environmental compliance or managing energy overheads. Condensate is handled internally via an integral evaporator, so no site drainage connection is required. The unit connects on a standard 13A supply, which removes much of the electrical complexity at installation.

For day-to-day operation, the unit is built to run continuously through service periods. Features that support this include:

• Height- and angle-adjustable chilled shelves with product stops and ticket strips on each front edge
• Digital temperature display and lockable controls on the customer-facing gantry
• Diffused gantry lighting that illuminates product clearly without glare
• Removable deck plates that simplify routine cleaning without tools
• Toughened glass sneeze screen and side panels for hygiene compliance

Installation requires careful planning. The underslung condensing unit needs sufficient void depth and height within the counter cabinetry, and the front inlet grills and rear vent must have adequate airflow — restricted ventilation will affect performance and longevity. At 200kg, the unit is substantial; the receiving counter structure must be engineered to carry that load, and a lifting kit is included to assist with positioning. The operational noise level of around 70dB is worth noting for calm retail or hospitality environments, though it sits below most extraction systems.

This multideck is well suited to cafés, workplace canteens, hospital retail outlets, farm shops, and similar self-service settings where customers select chilled products directly. It is sized for a moderately busy service point rather than high-volume supermarket-style throughput. For sites with significantly higher footfall or a need for a wider display run, a larger-format unit may be a more appropriate choice.

If you are planning a new servery installation or working around an existing counter void, it is worth talking through the specifics before you order — there are a few installation variables that are worth confirming early.
