Product Information
Full details
The Araven Koala Ingredient Bin (14L) is an essential storage solution for commercial kitchens, breakfast bars, and food preparation areas requiring organized dry ingredient management. Its primary benefit is the combination of a compact footprint with a user-friendly flip lid that streamlines high-volume service; however, users should note that the 14-litre capacity is intended for dry goods only and is not designed for liquid or moisture-heavy storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Araven Koala is straightforward: ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface within the work zone. While the footprint is small, account for the clearance required for the flip lid to fully rotate. For care and maintenance, the bin is engineered for industrial dishwashing, meaning it can be placed through high-heat cleaning cycles without warping or degradation. Always ensure the bin is completely dry after a wash cycle before refilling with dry ingredients to prevent clumping or mold growth. Inspect the lid hinge periodically to ensure it remains smooth and functional.
