IGLOO PASTELLA SWEET 1.3 W Remote Confectionery Showcase

A refrigerated confectionery showcase keeps delicate pastries, cakes and desserts at a steady cool temperature while presenting them to customers through clear glass. The unit draws heat from the interior with a refrigerant that circulates through an evaporator coil. As the refrigerant absorbs heat, it changes from liquid to gas, then travels to an external condenser where a fan expels the heat outside the cabinet. This cycle repeats continuously, maintaining the set temperature range without drying the air or altering the texture of the food.

The PASTELLA SWEET 1.3 W Remote from IGLOO is designed to run on an external refrigeration generator, so the condenser and compressor sit away from the display area. This arrangement reduces noise and vibration at the point of sale, keeps the worktop free of heat output, and allows several showcases to share one generator when they are multiplexed into a longer run.

To load the showcase, the operator slides the curved front glass upwards on its hinges. Three adjustable glass shelves inside can be set at different heights and angles to suit the size and shape of each pastry. A painted steel lower shelf provides additional display space or storage for trays and utensils. Once the pastries are arranged, the glass is closed and the electronic regulator is set to the desired temperature between +4 °C and +10 °C. The digital display shows the current reading, while an automatic defrost cycle prevents ice build-up on the evaporator coil.

The outer casing is formed from coated steel sheet, and the front panel is finished in melamine, both available in a choice of colours. The interior frame and lower shelf are also painted in matching or contrasting shades. Ecological polyurethane foam fills the cavity between the inner and outer walls, providing insulation that reduces energy consumption and keeps the temperature stable.

An alarm sounds if the condenser becomes clogged or the fan fails, alerting staff to clean the coil or service the unit before the temperature rises. The 230 V, 50 Hz power supply matches the standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens and retail spaces.

The 1300 mm width, 850 mm depth and 1200 mm height give the showcase a generous footprint that fits against a wall or island counter, while the curved front glass with a 20 mm bending radius creates an inviting, distortion-free view of the pastries inside. The R290 refrigerant is a hydrocarbon with low global-warming potential, chosen for its efficiency and environmental profile.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass shelves and painted steel surfaces with a mild detergent solution, then drying them to prevent water spots. The melamine front panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. The condenser coil should be vacuumed or brushed regularly to remove dust and maintain airflow, and the automatic defrost cycle keeps the evaporator free of ice without manual intervention.

The PASTELLA SWEET 1.3 W Remote is part of the IGLOO confectionery series and can be used as a standalone module or combined with other showcases in the same range to form a continuous display.
