Choosing the Right Refrigerators

Building the perfect kitchen is essential for any restaurant. Before you start buying everything, you need to make sure that you know what you are getting and where everything is going to go – including your refrigerator units.
 

You need to consider the amount of space you have to work with to ensure that you will have the right type of unit for your needs. For a kitchen with a high volume, you should undoubtedly choose a larger walk-in unit, making room for it in your floor plans. If you are running a coffee shop or small lunch counter, a selection of smaller units may be right for you.

Once you have figured how much space is available for you, you need to make sure that your refrigerator is in the right location. If the refrigerator is located near a line cook or grilling station, you should invest in a bottom-mounted selection, as top-mounted selections will suck up grease from the steam. Bottom-mounted units do not work well near lots of flour, so you should consider investing in a top-mounted option.

Walk-in Cooler and Freezer Maintenance Tips

Take care of your walk-in coolers and freezers with a little help from the team at O-Reps. We recommend the following to keep your systems working correctly:

• Clean with Soap and Water – As simple as this sounds, many people who run kitchens never spend any time cleaning their walk-in coolers and freezers with soap and water. You should try to clean it every month, as well as clean your evaporator, fan blades, and condensing coil at least twice a year.
• Hire a Service Technician – Choosing a service technician to take care of your coolers and freezers, even when they are not broken, is a smart way to ensure that your systems will continue working for many years. They will spot small issues before they become more significant problems and check to see if the system is running correctly.
• Lubricate Your Hinges – The door to your freezers and coolers ensure that the cold air stays inside the unit. When your door hinges do not work, the cold air can leak out, which will cause your cooler or freezer to work overtime. You need to lubricate your hinges annually to keep the system working.
