Upright freezer Forcold M-GN1410BT-FC

A professional freezer designed to hold gastronorm trays in a ventilated cold chamber, the Forcold M-GN1410BT-FC keeps ingredients at deep-freeze temperatures without manual defrosting.

The unit uses a refrigeration cycle driven by R290 gas, a hydrocarbon refrigerant that absorbs heat from the cabinet and expels it outside. A concealed evaporator and fan circulate cold air evenly across every shelf, preventing hot spots and ensuring uniform freezing. The Monobloc refrigerating unit is pre-assembled, allowing quick installation without on-site refrigerant handling, and its insulated motor compartment reduces noise in the kitchen.

Loading begins by unlocking the reversible door with a key; the self-closing spring then pulls the door shut to maintain the cold seal. Inside, an LED light illuminates six GN2/1 grids, each pair supported by slides for easy tray insertion. The operator sets the target temperature between -18 °C and -22 °C on the electronic thermostat, which then regulates the compressor and fan to hold the chosen level. Automatic defrost cycles activate at intervals, melting ice from the evaporator with an electric heating element; the resulting water drains away and evaporates without manual intervention. A separate heating element around the door frame prevents condensation that could drip onto the worktop.

Construction centres on a stainless-steel interior with rounded corners for hygiene, while external panels are galvanised steel for durability. The 60 mm insulation layer minimises heat ingress, and height-adjustable feet allow levelling on uneven floors. A tool-free door gasket can be removed for cleaning or replacement without tools.

The 730 W power rating reflects the load on a single-phase 220-240 V circuit, suitable for standard UK commercial supply. A 1300 L volume provides space for sixty GN2/1 trays, and the 197 kg weight requires two people or a trolley for safe movement. External dimensions of 1480 mm wide by 830 mm deep fit through standard kitchen doorways, while internal measurements of 1360 mm by 632 mm by 1397 mm high accommodate full-size gastronorm trays without stacking.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel interior, removing the door gasket for thorough washing, and checking that the automatic evaporation tray remains unblocked. The supplied grids and slides can be lifted out for separate cleaning.

The M-GN1410BT-FC is a single model with no variants; it is catalogued under professional refrigeration for catering and foodservice.
