Chest freezer Scandomestic HOME 01124210000CF500WE

This chest freezer offers flexible storage by switching between freezing and refrigeration, eliminating the need for two separate appliances. Static cooling ensures natural air circulation, maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the 500 litre interior while keeping energy use low. The refrigerant removes heat from stored food, allowing temperatures as low as -24 °C for long-term freezing or as high as +2 °C for chilled items. A simple control panel on the front adjusts the range, and the insulation retains cold efficiently, reducing running costs even in unheated areas like garages or storerooms.

To operate, plug the freezer into a standard 220-240 V socket and set the temperature using the manual dial. The lid opens smoothly and stays fixed at angles between 45° and 75°, freeing both hands for loading or retrieving items. Four wire baskets slide on runners, lifting food for easy access. When set to its coldest range, it can freeze fresh food quickly, while the warmer setting maintains chilled items at +2 °C to +8 °C. Internal LED lighting activates when the lid is raised, providing clear visibility without adding heat.

The cabinet is finished in white-coated steel with integrated handles on the front and sides, fitting seamlessly into kitchens or utility rooms. A front drain plug simplifies defrosting or cleaning by allowing water to drain out, and the lid closes flush to serve as an additional work surface. The refrigerant, R600a, is an efficient and environmentally friendly hydrocarbon. Weighing 60 kg, the unit remains stable on most floors, while its dimensions of 1650 mm by 735 mm ensure it fits through standard doorways with space for airflow.

For cleaning, unplug the freezer, remove the baskets, and wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Open the drain plug to let meltwater escape, and check the lid seal for debris. Baskets can be washed separately and dried before reinserting. The appliance is rated Energy Class E, with a daily power consumption of 0.81 kWh. Additional baskets matching the 374 mm by 189 mm by 198 mm size are available separately to enhance storage organisation.
