Upright freezer SCANDOMESTIC 31324510000GUF390W

An upright freezer keeps food safely below freezing by circulating cold air evenly around every shelf. A fan draws air over an evaporator coil chilled by refrigerant, then pushes the cooled air through the cabinet. This ventilated cooling eliminates warm spots and keeps the temperature uniform from top to bottom, so every tray freezes at the same rate and stays frozen without manual rotation.

The operator loads trays or containers onto the four adjustable wire shelves and the single fixed shelf at the bottom. Each shelf is rated to hold thirty kilograms, allowing dense or bulky items to be stored without sagging. The electronic control panel on the front sets the target temperature between minus eighteen and minus twenty-two degrees Celsius; the display shows the current reading so the operator can check it at a glance. Once the door is closed and locked, the appliance runs automatically, defrosting the coil on a timer so ice never builds up and airflow stays clear.

The cabinet is built from pre-coated steel with rounded interior corners to prevent dirt traps. Four castors and two adjustable front feet let the unit be rolled into position and then levelled for stability. The door hinges can be reversed from the right-hand position to suit the kitchen layout, and the lock secures the contents overnight or during service breaks.

A 293 litre volume provides space for several days' stock without crowding. The 220–240 volt, fifty-hertz supply matches standard commercial circuits, so no special wiring is needed. The refrigerant charge of forty-five grams of R290a is low enough to comply with current regulations while still delivering the required cooling capacity. The total weight of sixty-three and a half kilograms makes the freezer light enough to move with a pallet truck or two staff, yet heavy enough to stay planted once the feet are adjusted.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the wire shelves and the interior walls with a damp cloth; the automatic defrost cycle removes ice from the coil without manual scraping. Shelves can be removed individually for deeper cleaning or to create taller storage spaces for large items.

The GUF390 W is listed in the professional refrigeration section of the catalogue, alongside other upright freezers for catering use.
