What are the installation requirements for Unifrost saladettes?

For most commercial saladette counters, correct setup is mainly about airflow, levelling, and commissioning:

Position and ventilation: Place the unit so the refrigeration system can breathe. Keep vents and grills unobstructed and avoid boxing the unit in.

Stable, level base: Level the cabinet so doors close cleanly and the well and shelves sit square.

Electrical supply: Use a dedicated, properly rated socket and avoid extension leads. Do not share a circuit with high-start appliances if you can avoid it.

First switch-on: After positioning, allow time for the refrigeration circuit to settle before powering on (especially after transport). Then let the unit pull down to temperature empty.

Load-in procedure: Pre-chill ingredients before service. Do not load warm product into the cabinet or top well and expect rapid pull-down.

Top well best practice: Keep pans correctly seated and avoid leaving large gaps. Use lids or covers where possible during quiet periods to maintain temperature consistency.

Always follow the manual for your exact model, as airflow paths and controller behaviour can vary between saladette families.
