"In der Thekenkonstruktion ist ein gut belüfteter ***Aufstellboden*** unterhalb der Kühlwanne vorzusehen. Für verschiedene Lebensmittel sind zwei Luftgeschwindigkeiten wählbar. Die Steuerung ist mit einem Alarmsummer ausgerüstet, welcher bei Bedarf aktiviert werden kann. Für die Thekenbeleuchtung ist ein frei nutzbarer Schalter vorhanden."
From a catalogue for catering equipment such as food counters. Few dictionaries have a translation for "Aufstellboden", but DicData is kind enough to suggest "floor". I'm not sure whether that's correct in this context or not though. TIA for any light you can shed on this somewhat unusual word.
Rowan Morrell (asker): 10:35am Aug 8, 2005: Andrew - Thanks for your answer and additional comments. I've actually said "The counter design should include ...", which has quite a good ring. And I see that Lisa has said much the same thing!
Thank you also Frosty. To be honest, I like your suggestion best at this stage. Well actually, Lisa's "display shelf" might be better still!
Rowan Morrell (asker): 11:17am Aug 8, 2005: If it is a base unit - And not a shelf of some sort, I guess you'd be right, Andrew. Having read Brigitte's peer grades, I'm now leaning back to "base unit".
Erklärung: When constructing the counter ensure that the base unit below the chiller is well ventilated
When constructing the counter ensure that the space between the floor and the chiller is well ventilated

PS \"When constructing...\" is not optimal. \"Regarding the design of the counter...\" might be better if the counter is bought and fitted separately from your client\'s product.

RE Asker comment: The \'Aufstellboden\' will not be visible (i.e. \'on display\') to the general public :-(
Well in the end, after reading Brigitte's peer grade comments in particular, I have opted for "base unit". But everyone made pretty useful contributions here. Many thanks - I appreciate your help. 4 KudoZ-Punkte wurden für diese Antwort vergeben
