Refrigerator GEMM 45002095

A refrigerated cabinet holds perishable food at precise low temperatures by circulating chilled air throughout an insulated chamber. A compressor draws heat from the interior and expels it outside, while a fan spreads the cold evenly so every shelf reaches the set temperature. This method keeps ingredients fresh longer than a domestic refrigerator, which relies on still air and fluctuates when the door opens. The cabinet's insulation slows heat transfer from the kitchen, reducing the compressor's workload and energy use over time.

To use the GEMM XFN/140, load GN 2/1 gastronorm containers onto the adjustable rails inside. Set the desired temperature between -2 °C and +8 °C on the touch control panel, then close the door to start the cooling cycle. The ventilated system circulates air continuously, eliminating hot spots and maintaining uniform cold. An automatic defrost programme melts ice from the evaporator without manual intervention, and condensate water evaporates on its own, so the interior stays dry. When the door is opened, internal LED lighting illuminates every shelf for quick access to stored items.

The cabinet is built from deep-drawn stainless steel, forming seamless internal walls that resist corrosion and simplify cleaning. The exterior and interior surfaces are both stainless steel, chosen for durability in high-traffic kitchens. Insulation 80 mm thick surrounds the chamber, reducing heat gain and stabilising internal temperatures even when ambient conditions rise. Rails with 55 mm pitch and 24 adjustable positions allow shelves to be spaced for different container heights, organising storage flexibly.

A 2.8-inch touch control panel with digital display sets the temperature and activates additional functions. The door includes a lock with a key to secure stored food, and the cabinet complies with climate class 5, ensuring reliable operation in warm and humid environments typical of professional catering.

The 866 L capacity accommodates six GN 2/1 gastronorm shelves, each holding standard catering containers. A power rating of 2 × 0.56 kW indicates the load on the electrical supply, while the 2.59 kWh per 24 hours reflects energy consumption under normal use. The refrigerant R290 is a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact, used in systems designed for efficiency and safety. The 173 kg weight requires a stable floor and may need two people to move the unit into position. Dimensions of 1390 mm wide, 890 mm deep and 2090 mm high determine the space the cabinet occupies on the kitchen floor or against a wall.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, focusing on the rails and door seals to remove food debris. The automatic defrost and condensate evaporation reduce manual upkeep, but the evaporator and fan should be checked periodically for dust accumulation. Shelves and rails can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the door seal should be inspected to ensure a tight closure.

The cabinet is designed for GN 2/1 gastronorm containers, standard in professional catering, and includes six shelves for immediate use. It is placed in the refrigeration section of the professional kitchen equipment catalogue, under refrigerated storage for gastronorm containers.
