Chest freezer TEFCOLD FR505S-SL

A chest freezer maintains bulk frozen goods at deep sub-zero temperatures by circulating cold air around a single, unobstructed compartment. The refrigeration system compresses and expands a gas refrigerant, pulling heat from the interior and releasing it outside. Because cold air settles, the horizontal layout prevents warm air from entering when the lid is opened, reducing energy loss and keeping the stored items at a consistent low temperature without frequent defrosting cycles. To use the FR505S-SL, load frozen goods directly into the cavity or into the supplied basket for smaller items. Set the desired temperature between -24 °C and -14 °C using the built-in thermometer and control dial. Close the stainless steel lid and secure it with the lockable handle to prevent unauthorised access. Defrost water collects in a tray and drains through the outlet at the base, ready for disposal. The exterior is finished in a durable powder coating, while the interior liner is white for easy visibility. A stainless steel lid resists scratches and corrosion, and the lockable handle provides security. The heavy-duty feet let the freezer sit flush against the stainless-steel counter or tiled floor without rocking, keeping the lid seal tight and the compressor quiet during service. The 454 litre volume allows bulk storage of frozen ingredients, while the 73 kg weight ensures stability without being too heavy to move with a trolley. The 0.23 kW power rating draws a modest current suitable for a standard 220-240 V 50 Hz circuit found in most professional kitchens. Cleaning involves wiping the interior liner with a mild detergent solution, removing the basket for separate washing, and emptying the defrost water drain. The powder-coated finish can be cleaned with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. The FR505S-SL is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under professional refrigeration for bulk frozen storage in catering environments.
