IGLOO PICO DEEP 0.98 Refrigerated Display Showcase

A refrigerated display showcase keeps perishable foods visible and chilled without breaking the cold chain. The unit circulates cold air across the exposed products, drawing heat away faster than still air in a domestic refrigerator. This dynamic cooling maintains an even temperature throughout the cabinet, preventing warm spots that could spoil meat, cheese or fish. The glass front allows customers to see the items while the refrigeration system works continuously behind the scenes. The PICO DEEP 0.98 is built for self-service layouts. The operator loads the stainless-steel exposition area from the front, arranging products so they are easily reached by customers. The hinged back doors of the storage chamber give access from the service side, letting staff restock without interrupting the display. Once the unit is plugged in and the electronic controller set, the refrigeration cycle begins automatically. The digital display shows the current temperature, while the automatic defrost programme prevents ice build-up on the evaporator coils. A sensor monitors the condenser and fan; if either becomes blocked or fails, an alarm sounds to alert the kitchen. The cabinet is constructed from white coated sheet metal with a stainless-steel worktop. Anodised aluminium profiles in gold or silver frame the straight front glass pane, which can be slightly opened for cleaning. The sides are available in insulated plastic or glass, and the bumper comes in a choice of colours. LED lighting inside the case can be set to white, confectionery or pink to highlight different types of food. The entire unit stands on a service-side base flashing that protects the wall and makes mopping easier. A power rating of 4.4 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 temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C suits fresh meats, fish and dairy products that must stay above freezing but below the danger zone. The footprint of 1060 mm wide by 860 mm deep fits into most self-service counters, while the 1220 mm height allows customers to view products without bending. The stainless-steel worktop and hinged back doors wipe clean without trapping moisture, so raw fish and sliced meats stay visibly fresh during service. The stainless-steel worktop and exposition area can be wiped with a damp cloth and sanitiser. The glass front and sides are cleaned with glass cleaner, taking care not to spray the LED lamps or electronic controls. The hinged back doors of the storage chamber open fully for access to the interior, which is lined with white coated steel. The automatic defrost programme reduces manual defrosting, but the condenser outlet should be checked regularly to ensure the container is emptying properly. The PICO DEEP 0.98 is part of the PICO series, which offers modular corner units and colour options to create continuous display lines tailored to the premises. The refrigerant used is a blend of R134a and R290, chosen for its cooling efficiency and lower environmental impact. This model is categorised under refrigerated display cases in the IGLOO professional catering catalogue.
