Chest freezer TEFCOLD FR205S-SL

A chest freezer keeps food frozen by circulating cold air around a sealed compartment, with the cooling coil running along the inner walls. Because the lid opens upwards, cold air stays inside when the unit is opened, reducing energy loss and maintaining a steady temperature. This design is particularly effective for long-term storage of bulk items, as the horizontal layout allows for larger, irregularly shaped packages without wasted space.

To use the FR205SL, load items into the basket or directly into the main compartment, then close the stainless steel lid and secure it with the lockable handle. Set the desired temperature using the built-in thermometer, which allows for precise control between -24 °C and -14 °C. The freezer operates on a standard 220-240 V supply, suitable for most commercial kitchen circuits. When defrosting is needed, meltwater drains through the dedicated outlet, preventing ice build-up and simplifying maintenance.

The freezer is constructed with a powder-coated exterior and a white inner liner, both designed to resist corrosion and staining in a busy kitchen environment. The stainless steel lid provides durability and easy cleaning, while the lockable handle ensures security for stored goods. A single basket is included for organising smaller items, keeping them accessible without digging through deeper layers.

The 0.15 kW power rating indicates a modest electrical load, making it suitable for kitchens with multiple appliances running simultaneously. The 185 L volume offers ample storage for bulk ingredients, portioned meals, or frozen stock, while the 43 kg weight allows for easy repositioning when needed. The 734 mm width, 700 mm depth, and 945 mm height fit into standard worktop layouts or under counter spaces, though the lid requires clearance above.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel lid and inner liner with a damp cloth, while the defrost drain simplifies the removal of meltwater. The powder-coated surfaces resist moisture and stains, reducing the need for frequent deep cleaning. The refrigerant used is R600a, a hydrocarbon with a low environmental impact, contained in a 44 g charge.

This model is a standalone chest freezer without additional variants or configurations. It is designed for general catering use, where bulk frozen storage is required without the need for rapid access or frequent opening.
