Remote Condenser Unit Option

They can be connected to either a built-in or remote refrigeration unit, which is beneficial in environments with space constraints or critical ambient temperatures.

Temperature and Usable Volume

These models can operate in temperatures ranging from -10ºC to -21ºC with a usable volume of 8.4 to 10 m³ and usable surface area between 4.12 and 4.93 m².

Advanced Defrosting System

Defrosting is achieved through a heated gas system that reduces total power usage, shortens defrosting time, and limits warming.

Safety and Convenience

A newly designed handle with a lock and internal safety release prevents entrapment. An optional microswitch can automatically turn on the internal light and turn off the fans.

Door and Panel Design

Doors are right-hinged as standard (left-hinged available on request) with smooth rounded profiles, cam-lift action hinges, airtight magnetic door seals, and high insulation.

Temperature Monitoring

Monitor the temperature settings regularly using the digital display on the control panel. Ensure that the temperature is set according to the type of food items stored to prevent spoilage.

Defrosting

Utilize the heated gas defrosting feature to efficiently manage ice build-up. This reduces the total power installed and minimizes warming of the cold room.

Avoid Overloading

Do not overload the refrigerator as it can obstruct air circulation and affect cooling efficiency. Maintain adequate space between stored items for optimal performance.
