IGLOO PICO 2.44 refrigerated cold showcase for self-service display

A refrigerated cold showcase keeps perishable foods chilled while presenting them to customers under clear glass. The unit draws heat from the storage chamber and expels it at the rear, maintaining a steady low temperature without freezing. Static cooling circulates the cold air naturally, avoiding moving parts that could disturb lightweight items such as sliced meats or pastries. The glass front can be opened slightly for restocking without breaking the refrigerated seal, and the LED lighting inside highlights the products without adding heat.

To use the showcase, the operator loads the stainless-steel exposition area with the day's stock, sets the electronic controller to the desired temperature between +1 °C and +10 °C, and switches the unit on. The automatic defrost cycle runs without intervention, melting any frost that forms on the cooling surfaces and draining the condensate into a container at the rear. The digital display shows the current temperature, and an alarm sounds if the condenser becomes blocked or the fan fails.

The body is constructed from white coated sheet metal with a service-side base flashing, while the worktop and exposition area are stainless steel. Anodised aluminium profiles in gold or silver frame the glass front, and the sides can be ordered in insulated plastic or glass in a choice of colours. The storage chamber behind the display is accessed through hinged white-coated steel doors, and the entire unit stands on a bumper available in different colours to match the shop's scheme.

A power rating of 6.3 kWh per 24 hours indicates the electrical load the unit places on the kitchen circuit. The 230 V, 50 Hz supply matches standard British commercial sockets, so no special wiring is needed. The footprint of 2520 mm wide by 860 mm deep by 1220 mm high, plus a 10 mm tolerance, determines the floor space required and the height available for stacking products. The temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C suits fresh meats, cheeses, fish and deli items that must stay chilled but not frozen.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel surfaces with a mild detergent, removing the glass front for thorough washing, and checking the condensate container at the rear. The LED lamp can be replaced without tools, and the anodised aluminium profiles resist corrosion from regular wiping.

Variants include gold or silver aluminium profiles, white, confectionery or pink LED lighting, and a choice of bumper and side colours. The showcase can be combined with matching internal and external corner units to create continuous display lines tailored to the shop layout.
