Drop-in cold well TEFCOLD CW3/V

A built-in cold chafing dish keeps prepared salads, snacks and chilled drinks at serving temperature without ice. The unit circulates refrigerated air around three standard gastronorm pans, maintaining a steady +2 to +8 °C. This ventilated cooling prevents condensation on the food and ensures even chilling across every pan, so the first and last portions stay equally fresh. The operator slides three GN1/1 pans into the stainless-steel well, sets the electronic thermostat to the desired temperature within the +2 to +8 °C range, and plugs the unit into a 220-240 V, 50 Hz supply. The refrigeration system, charged with R600a refrigerant, starts automatically and holds the pans at the chosen setting. A transparent sneeze guard above the pans lets customers serve themselves while keeping the food protected. Construction is entirely stainless steel, chosen for hygiene and resistance to corrosion in a busy kitchen. The 1122 mm width, 688 mm depth and 636 mm height allow the unit to drop into a standard counter cut-out, leaving the worktop flush. At 42 kg the chafing dish is light enough to be lifted into place by two people, yet stable once installed. The 96 L internal volume is sized to accept three full GN1/1 pans without crowding, so air can circulate freely around each one. An electronic thermostat gives precise control over the holding temperature, allowing the kitchen to match the setting to the specific food—warmer for delicate salads, cooler for seafood or dairy-based items. The 0.122 kW power draw keeps the electrical load low, suitable for a dedicated circuit in a buffet line or self-service counter. Stainless-steel surfaces and ventilated cooling channels wipe clean without trapping food particles or odours after each service. The stainless-steel interior and exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service. The ventilated cooling system requires occasional vacuuming of the condenser grille to maintain airflow, and the refrigerant charge is factory-sealed, so no recharging is needed under normal use. The CW3/V is a drop-in model designed for seamless integration into a counter or buffet line. It accepts standard GN1/1 pans, making it compatible with existing kitchen equipment and serving utensils. Catalogue placement: refrigerated buffet and display equipment, drop-in chafing dishes.
