Upright freezer FORCAR G-GN600BT

A static freezer maintains low temperatures by circulating cold air naturally without forced convection. The refrigeration unit cools the air inside the cabinet, which settles at the bottom and rises as it warms, creating a gentle cycle that keeps food frozen evenly. This method avoids the drying effect of fans, preserving the texture and moisture of stored items over long periods. The FORCAR G-GN600BT uses this principle to hold temperatures between -18 °C and -22 °C, suitable for bulk storage of frozen goods in professional kitchens. To operate the freezer, load GN2/1 gastronorm containers onto the supplied slides or place items directly on the three adjustable grids. Set the electronic thermostat to the desired temperature within the -18 °C to -22 °C range using the digital control. The door, fitted with a self-closing spring and lock, seals tightly to prevent warm air from entering. An electrical heating element around the door frame prevents condensation, while a drip tray collects any moisture that forms during use. Manual defrosting is required periodically; melted ice drains into a collecting basin at the base for easy removal. The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel AISI 304, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in high-moisture environments. The external back and bottom panels are made of galvanised plate for durability, while the interior features rounded corners to simplify maintenance. The door is reversible, allowing it to open from either side to fit kitchen layouts, and the gasket can be removed without tools for cleaning or replacement. Height-adjustable feet ensure the unit remains level on uneven floors. A power rating of 510 W indicates the load the freezer places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 220-240 V circuit. The 507 L capacity provides ample space for bulk storage, while the external dimensions of 680 x 810 x 2010 mm determine the floor space needed in the kitchen. The internal dimensions of 560 x 653 x 1386 mm define the usable storage area, accommodating GN2/1 containers or other standardised catering trays. The unit weighs 155 kg, meaning it requires two people or a trolley for safe movement. The seamless stainless-steel liner lets you slide out frozen GN2/1 pans without snagging, while the rounded bottom corners prevent trapped food debris from hiding during daily wipe-downs. The removable gasket and collecting basin should be cleaned regularly to prevent odours and bacterial growth. The drip tray must be emptied during defrosting to avoid overflow. The three supplied grids and slides can be taken out for thorough cleaning, and the rounded corners of the interior simplify this process. The freezer is designed for use in environments with ambient temperatures up to +32 °C and relative humidity of 55%. It includes three GN2/1 grids and three pairs of slides as standard accessories. The static cooling system, combined with the R290 refrigerant gas, ensures efficient operation while minimising environmental impact. This model is categorised as a GN2/1 refrigerated cabinet, suitable for storing frozen food in professional catering settings.
