The Basics

Refrigerated and hot display cases provide quick and easy access to food, which stimulates the impulse to buy.

Quick Fact

Retail applications and operations with minimal counter space should consider temperature-controlled compact grab-and-go styles and countertop units.

Cleaning and Maintaining

For optimum food safety, regularly clean and sanitize temperature-controlled food holding equipment.

Did You Know…

Shelf adjustability can provide added flexibility with menu changes and different-size products.

Choosing a Display Case

Base the unit’s size on anticipated sales, storage volume and product holding times or how long products will stay in the case.

By the Way...

Refrain from using harsh chemical cleaning agents as these can damage the cabinet’s finish and compromise its service life.
