Drop-in cold well Novameta UCG2-74/60/67

This drop-in cold basin is designed to chill two gastronorm GN1/1 pans while saving counter space. The unit fits seamlessly into a worktop, with its rim sitting flush on the surface and the basin extending below. A refrigeration system circulates coolant beneath the pan wells, removing heat from the food and dissipating it through a rear condenser. This method maintains a consistent low temperature without frost, keeping the pans dry and ready for use.

Installation requires cutting a 725 mm by 580 mm opening in the worktop. The basin is then lowered into place and secured with clips. The drain tap connects to a waste line, and the unit is powered to cool to the set range of +2 °C to +8 °C. This ensures ingredients remain at safe storage temperatures while staying accessible for preparation or plating.

Two GN1/1 pans are placed into the wells, filled with pre-chilled ingredients, and left to maintain temperature. A drain tap at the base allows easy removal of condensate or spills without disturbing the pans. Insulated walls help reduce energy consumption by limiting heat transfer from the kitchen environment.

Constructed from stainless steel, the basin features an insulated jacket to prevent condensation on its outer surface. The drain tap includes a G1/2 internal thread for standard plumbing connections. Controls consist of an on-off switch and a thermostat to regulate the temperature between +2 °C and +8 °C.

The dimensions of 740 mm in width and 600 mm in depth match the footprint of two GN1/1 pans placed side by side. The 670 mm height allows the basin to sit beneath a standard worktop. With a power rating of 0.36 kW, it operates efficiently on a dedicated kitchen circuit.

Maintenance involves wiping the stainless steel wells and rim with a sanitising solution, followed by rinsing. The drain tap should be opened regularly to clear debris, while the insulated jacket requires only occasional dusting.

This model is intended solely for drop-in installation and accommodates no other gastronorm pan sizes. It is listed under refrigeration and chilled worktop equipment.
