Refrigerated Display Cabinet IGLOO JO100.1/AG/GASTRO

A refrigerated cabinet maintains food at safe holding temperatures by circulating chilled air around the interior. A compressor draws heat from the air inside, transferring it to a refrigerant that evaporates and condenses in a closed loop. This cycle keeps the cabinet between +1 °C and +10 °C, slowing bacterial growth and preserving freshness without freezing.

The operator loads food onto the five adjustable shelves, setting each shelf at the desired height and angle to fit different container sizes. Once the door is closed, the automatic defrost system periodically melts any frost build-up on the evaporator coils, draining the water away without manual intervention. The cabinet runs continuously, holding the set temperature until the food is removed.

The cabinet is constructed with an interior and exterior of stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The refrigerant used is either R290 or R134a, selected for its cooling efficiency and compliance with current environmental standards.

Controls consist of a thermostat that sets the desired temperature within the +1 °C to +10 °C range. The 230 V, 50 Hz power supply matches standard UK commercial circuits, allowing the unit to be plugged into a typical kitchen power outlet without additional wiring.

The 4.9 kWh energy consumption per 24 hours reflects the load the refrigerator places on the electrical supply, a figure to consider when calculating kitchen power usage. The temperature range of +1 °C to +10 °C is designed for holding chilled food, not for freezing or blast chilling. The overall dimensions of 700 mm width, 870 mm depth, and 2035 mm height, plus a 10 mm tolerance, determine the space the unit occupies on the kitchen floor and how it fits alongside worktops and other equipment.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need for manual defrosting, reducing maintenance tasks. Shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning as needed.

This model is categorised as professional refrigeration equipment for food storage in commercial kitchens.
