Refrigerator FORCAR G-PA800TN-FC

A refrigerated pastry cabinet keeps delicate pastries, cakes and desserts at precise serving temperatures while displaying them in clear view. The ventilated cooling system circulates chilled air evenly throughout the interior, preventing hot spots and ensuring every shelf holds the same temperature. This steady airflow also helps maintain consistent humidity, which is critical for preserving the texture and appearance of cream-filled pastries, meringues and layered cakes. The cooling process relies on a refrigerant gas that absorbs heat from the cabinet's interior and releases it outside, cycling continuously to hold the set temperature without manual intervention.

To use the cabinet, the operator loads trays of pastries onto the supplied slides, adjusts the digital thermostat to the desired temperature between -2 °C and +8 °C, and closes the reversible door. The electronic control system starts the refrigeration unit, and the concealed evaporator begins cooling the air. A fan distributes the chilled air across every shelf, while an electric heating element around the door frame prevents condensation from forming. Automatic defrost cycles activate at set intervals, melting any ice build-up on the evaporator with a heating element and evaporating the condensate water without manual draining. The interior light remains on while the door is open, allowing staff to see the contents clearly.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, with external back and bottom panels in galvanised plate. The insulated engine compartment sits at the base, separated from the storage area to maximise internal space. The door features a self-closing spring, a lock with a key, and a tool-free extractable gasket for easy cleaning. Rounded corners on the bottom simplify wiping down, and height-adjustable stainless steel feet allow levelling on uneven floors. Ten pairs of slides are included, providing adjustable shelving for trays of varying sizes.

A 737-litre capacity allows storage of large quantities of pastries, while the external dimensions of 740 x 990 x 2100 mm fit through standard kitchen doorways and under most worktops. The internal measurements of 624 x 846 x 1396 mm determine the size of trays that can be accommodated. The 305 W power rating indicates the load on the electrical circuit, and the 220-240 V, 50 Hz voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial power supplies. The cabinet weighs 182 kg, which affects how it is moved and positioned in the kitchen.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The tool-free gasket can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the rounded corners prevent dirt from accumulating. The automatic condensate evaporation system eliminates the need for manual draining, reducing maintenance tasks. The anti-corrosion treated evaporator extends the lifespan of the cooling system, while the electronic temperature control ensures consistent performance without frequent adjustments.

The cabinet operates with R290 refrigerant gas, which is environmentally friendly and efficient for commercial refrigeration. The automatic defrost system and concealed evaporator design contribute to reliable operation in busy kitchens. The reversible door can be hinged on either side to suit the kitchen layout, and the self-closing mechanism ensures the door shuts securely after each use.

This model is categorised under refrigerated pastry cabinets in the FORCAR catalogue, designed specifically for displaying and preserving sweet pastries at controlled temperatures.
