Director of F&B, Middle East & Africa

Important Notice in Planning the Bar

Specifications given in this manual are for guidelines only


to help propose a bar layout that meets with Hilton
Standards.
Any piece of equipment or layout that does not meet the
specification guidelines needs to be approved in writing
before planning and installation goes ahead.
If written permission is not given / received then we will
reserve the right for the equipment or plan to be changed if
it does not meet our agreed specifications.
It is imperative that we maintain a consistent standard
throughout the MEA to ensure a single line of quality is
bred across the Hotel Food and Beverage offering..
Thank you

Vertical Gastronorm Refrigeration


Item location: The kitchen(s) Pantries
Description and detailed requirements: Available in chiller and freezers. Available in 430 and 304
stainless steel (any non-stainless steel surfaces must be galvanized steel). Should be supplied with
adjustable legs or adjustable castors, and door locks.
Important tips:
Should have a full length rear duct to ensure that all product stored inside the cabinet is held at the correct
mean temperature of 3.5C and the internal airflow cannot be blocked or short circuited by internal cabinet
loading.
Doors should be self-closing to ensure that internal cabinet temperature loss is minimized. This keeps
cabinet energy use low and product temperature stable.
Ensure that what the manufacturers operating ambient temperature claim is defined by the maximum
ambient temperature environment that the refrigeration cabinet will continue to operate normally with the
refrigeration system cycling normally and the average stored product temperature remaining at 3.5C.
Look for insulation that is CFC free with zero Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depleting
Potential.
Thermal breaks are very important as they create a barrier between the warmer more humid external or
ambient air and the colder internal air. Correctly aligned thermal breaks are very important otherwise you get
temperature creep in or out of the cabinet that wastes electricity and creates condensation build up

Horizontal General Purpose Counters


Item location: Kitchen(s), bar areas, food storage areas
Description and detailed requirements: These cabinets are general purpose horizontal cabinets with the
options of glass or solid swing doors and glass sliding doors. They are for the storage of food or beverage
products. They must be installed in such a way that cleaning around them is easy if they are not sealed into
place. They can be supplied in a normal depth and a shallow depth configuration. They should also be
available in integral or remote condenser options. Any non-stainless steel surfaces must be galvanized
steel.
Important tips:
Should have a full length rear duct to ensure that all product stored inside the cabinet is held at the correct
mean temperature of 3.5C and the internal airflow cannot be blocked or short circuited by internal cabinet
loading.
Kitchens are high ambient temperature and humidity environments so ensure that your refrigeration
products are rated for high ambient environments. Also ensure that what the manufacturers operating
ambient temperature claim is defined by the maximum ambient temperature environment that the
refrigeration cabinet will continue to operate normally with the refrigeration system cycling normally and the
average stored product temperature remaining at 3.5C.

Important tips Continued:


Depending on the application and what is being stored inside the cabinet having a cabinet with pull
down capability may be useful where the cabinet is filled with ambient (or room temperature) product
that needs to be chilled to serving temperature (for example non- perishable beverages). If this
functionality is required you need to specify a chiller with pull down capability.
Sliding doors have an application in restricted access areas. Their disadvantages are that they limit
access of other parts of the refrigeration cabinet then they are opened and typically do not have good
longevity given the nature of their sliding mechanism. To improve the time between servicing sliding
doors regular cleaning and preventative maintenance of the sliding door mechanism is required. A
properly designed and constructed swing door should be problem free.
Doors should be self-closing to ensure that internal cabinet temperature loss is minimized. This keeps
cabinet energy use low and product temperature stable.
Look for insulation that is CFC free with zero Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depleting
Potential.
Thermal breaks are very important as they create a barrier between the warmer more humid external or

Item location: Bar areas

Description and detailed requirements: These cabinets are for merchandising chilled beverage products in
bar areas. They should have the options of glass swing and sliding doors. They are for the storage and
merchandising of beverage products. They must be installed in such a way that cleaning around them is easy
if they are not sealed into place. They should also be available in integral or remote condenser options. Any

Important tips:
This model of cabinet is designed to merchandise cold beverages, including wine. To this end it should be
able to accommodate two levels of wine bottles inside.
Should have a full length rear duct to ensure that all product stored inside the cabinet is held at the correct
mean temperature of 3.5C and the internal airflow cannot be blocked or short circuited by internal cabinet
loading.
This cabinet should have pull down capability may be useful where the cabinet is filled with ambient (or room

Glass Chillers
Item location: Bar areas
Description and detailed requirements: This cabinet is for chilling glasses to allow beverage service in chilled
glasses in bar areas. This is available in remote condenser only. Any non-stainless steel surfaces must be galvanized
steel. This cabinet is designed to hold industry standard glass racks filled with cleaned glasses.
Important tips:
These cabinets need to be able to be cleaned easily and safely if a glass breaks. Some glass chillers have a
mechanism to lift the glass racks automatically rather than manually. These systems must be easily and safely
removable for cleaning as the mechanism can be a trap for broken glass.
Doors should be self-closing to ensure that internal cabinet temperature loss is minimized. This keeps cabinet energy
use low and product temperature stable.

Ensure that what the manufacturers operating ambient temperature claim is defined by the maximum ambient
temperature environment that the refrigeration cabinet will continue to operate normally with the refrigeration
system cycling normally and the average stored product temperature remaining at 3.5C.
Door gaskets must be easily changeable and not require cabinet unloading or special tools.
Lighting bulbs or strips can be fluorescent or LED and must be replaceable without having to unload cabinet
shelves or product. LED lighting has the benefit of a longer life over fluorescent tubes and use less energy.
Ensure that LED lighting systems are electrically safe.
Top mounted refrigeration systems give greater storage and merchandising space and are easier to clean than
bottom mounted refrigeration system configurations. Also the top mounted condenser heat (in integral
configuration) can be ducted away and either expelled or utilized elsewhere, bottom mounted systems do not
have this option. Bottom mounted systems should also be considered as they have some ergonomic benefits.
Look for insulation that is CFC free with zero Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depleting
Potential.

Refrigeration Modules for Bars

Custom Fabrication
Item location: Kitchen, bar and foodservice areas
Description and detailed requirements: Where a specialized size or cabinet design is required you
have the option of having a custom or bespoke cabinet designed and manufactured. There should be
no difference in performance criteria or expectation for this custom product. Remember to look for the
same features and benefits as with production products.
Important tips:
Should have ducted airflow to ensure that all product stored inside the cabinet is held at the correct
mean temperature of 3.5C and the internal airflow cannot be blocked or short circuited by internal
cabinet loading.
Doors should be self-closing to ensure that internal cabinet temperature loss is minimised. This keeps
cabinet energy use low and product temperature stable.
Thermal breaks are very important as they create a barrier between the warmer more humid external
or ambient air and the colder internal air. Correctly aligned thermal breaks are very important otherwise
you get temperature creep in or out of the cabinet that wastes electricity and creates condensation build
up.
Ensure that what the manufacturers operating ambient temperature claim is defined by the maximum
ambient temperature environment that the refrigeration cabinet will continue to operate normally with
the refrigeration system cycling normally and the average stored product temperature remaining at
3.5C.
Door gaskets must be easily changeable and not require cabinet unloading or special tools.
