The Designline Drop-In Slimline Multideck is a chilled open-front display unit designed to be set within or alongside a counter surface, presenting refrigerated product across multiple shelves in a compact 600mm-wide footprint. It operates as an assisted-service unit — customers view the display from the front while staff serve from the rear via hinged doors. This format is well suited to patisserie counters, deli sections, hotel buffet stations, and café grab-and-go counters where both presentation and portion control matter.

The curved toughened glass front delivers clear, unobstructed product visibility, and the stainless steel and aluminium construction holds up well to the cleaning routines of a working service environment. A digital controller makes temperature monitoring and adjustment straightforward for front-of-house staff without any specialist knowledge. It is worth noting that at 63.8dB this is not a quiet unit, so placement within a calm retail setting or near a customer seating area is worth thinking through at the planning stage.

Several practical details reduce the day-to-day maintenance burden during busy service periods:

Integrated water evaporator removes the need for a fixed drain connection on site
Removable deck plates allow thorough cleaning between services without significant disassembly
Locking castors and an adjustable centre foot allow repositioning without dismantling the surrounding counter
Rear access doors enable fast restocking mid-service without disturbing the front display
R290 refrigerant carries a significantly lower global warming potential than older refrigerant types

Because this unit is designed to drop into a counter structure, the surrounding counter needs to be built or adapted to match the unit's dimensions and allow adequate airflow around the refrigeration components. At 145kg, both the counter surface and the floor beneath should be confirmed as suitable before installation proceeds. No drainage connection is required, 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 placing an order is important.

This unit is a practical choice for smaller catering operations, patisseries, hotel counters, and cafés where display space is limited but product presentation remains a priority. For operations handling higher throughput or requiring a greater display footprint, wider and higher-capacity alternatives are available within the Designline range.

If you would like to talk through whether this unit suits your counter layout and service requirements before committing, the team is glad to help.

Frequently asked questions

Does this unit need a drainage connection installed in the counter?

No. The integrated water evaporator handles condensate internally, so there is no requirement for a fixed drain point. You will need a nearby power supply, but the absence of a drain connection gives considerably more flexibility when positioning the unit within a counter run.

What kind of counter structure is needed to accommodate this unit?

The counter needs to be designed or modified to match the unit's footprint and allow adequate airflow around the refrigeration components — a standard worktop simply cut to size is unlikely to be sufficient. Because the unit weighs 145kg, the counter structure and the floor beneath should both be confirmed as capable of bearing that load before installation. As this is a special-to-order product, we strongly recommend confirming your counter dimensions and construction with us before ordering.

Is this unit suitable for a high-volume service environment such as a busy hotel breakfast counter?

It is well suited to moderate-volume assisted-service settings such as hotel buffet counters, patisseries, and café deli sections. For operations with consistently high throughput or a need for a larger display footprint, a wider or higher-capacity unit from the Designline range may be a better match — it is worth discussing your service volumes with the team before deciding.
