Chest freezer TEFCOLD FR405S-SL

A chest freezer maintains bulk frozen goods at consistently low temperatures by circulating refrigerant through coils beneath the cabinet floor. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the stored items, evaporates, and is then compressed and condensed back into liquid form outside the cabinet, repeating the cycle to remove heat continuously. This method keeps the interior cold without relying on moving air, reducing frost build-up and preserving food quality over long storage periods.

To use the FR405S-SL, open the stainless steel lid, load frozen goods into the basket or directly onto the white powder-coated liner, and close the lid securely with the lockable handle. Set the desired temperature between -24 °C and -14 °C using the built-in thermometer. Defrost water collects in a tray and drains through the designated outlet, preventing ice accumulation inside the cabinet.

The freezer features a stainless steel lid for durability and a powder-coated white inner liner for easy cleaning. A lockable handle secures the contents, while the defrost water drain simplifies maintenance. The cabinet is designed with a single basket to organise smaller items, leaving the main compartment free for larger bulk storage.

The 377-litre volume provides ample space for bulk frozen stock, while the 62 kg weight allows the unit to be positioned on most worktop-level surfaces without structural reinforcement. The 1284 mm width, 700 mm depth, and 945 mm height fit standard kitchen layouts, leaving clearance for ventilation. The 220-240 V, 50 Hz power requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, and the 0.23 kW rating keeps energy consumption low during continuous operation.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel lid and powder-coated liner with a damp cloth, while the defrost water drain removes excess moisture without manual intervention. The refrigerant R600a, used in an 80 g charge, is efficient for low-temperature applications and complies with current environmental standards.

The FR405S-SL is a standalone chest freezer without additional variants. It is categorised under professional refrigeration for bulk storage in catering environments.
