What is a cake display cabinet?

Cake display cabinets are commercial refrigerated units designed specifically for displaying and preserving cakes, desserts, and other baked goods. They are widely used in bakeries, dessert shops, cafes, hotels, and other locations. They not only maintain the freshness of cakes but also attract customers and boost sales through attractive displays.

 

1. Main Functions of Cake Display Cabinets

Refrigeration and Preservation: Keep cakes at a suitable temperature (usually 0-10°C) to prevent cream from melting and fruit from spoiling.

Dust and Bacteria Prevention: Transparent glass doors or open designs reduce dust and bacterial contamination.

Display Effect: LED lighting enhances visual appeal and highlights the color and shape of cakes.

Space Optimization: Multi-tiered designs optimize space utilization and allow for the display of a variety of products.

3. Suggestions on the use and maintenance of cake display cabinets

Daily cleaning and maintenance

(1) Daily cleaning

Glass panel: Wipe with glass cleaner + soft cloth to avoid water stains and fingerprints.

Trays/shelves: Clean with food-grade disinfectant to prevent bacterial growth.

Drain holes: Check for blockage (especially for air-cooled cabinets).

 

(2) Weekly deep maintenance

Sealing strips: Wipe with alcohol pads to check for aging and deformation (need to replace if leaking air).

Condenser/heat dissipation net: Vacuum dust to improve heat dissipation efficiency (dirt will reduce cooling effect).

Internal defrost: Direct cooling cabinets require manual defrosting (let it melt naturally after power off, do not use sharp objects to scrape ice).

 

(3) Monthly inspection

Compressor operating status: Listen for abnormal noise (buzzing may indicate a malfunction).

Power cord/plug: Avoid aging or poor contact.

 

Common Problem Solving

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Cabinet temperature too high

Insufficient refrigerant/poor heat dissipation

Clean the heat sink and contact after-sales service for re-fluorination

Severe frost

Door seal not tight/frequent door opening

Check the seal and reduce door opening frequency

Light not on

LED damaged/circuit problem

Replace the light strip or check the wiring

Water accumulation

Clogged drain hole

Clear with a thin wire

 

Precautions for Long-Term Outages

Before powering off: Empty all food from the cabinet, clean thoroughly, and allow to dry.

When storing: Leave the cabinet door slightly open to prevent odors and mold.

To reactivate: Power on and allow the cabinet to run unloaded for two hours before adding food.
