Upright freezer Stalgast 880401

A freezing cabinet maintains food at sub-zero temperatures by circulating cold air continuously around the interior. The refrigeration unit draws heat from the air inside, lowering its temperature until it reaches the set point. Forced air circulation ensures even cooling across every shelf, preventing warm spots and preserving food quality without freezing it solid into a single block. This method allows the cabinet to hold items at stable temperatures below the freezing point of water, extending shelf life while keeping products accessible for daily use.

To operate the cabinet, the user loads food onto the three adjustable shelves, each sized to hold standard gastronorm trays. The electronic controller is set to the desired temperature between -10 °C and -18 °C, and the display confirms the current reading. Once the door is closed, the refrigeration unit starts automatically, circulating cold air through the interior. A built-in key lock secures the contents, and the silent operation allows the cabinet to run in open kitchens without disrupting service. Manual defrosting is required periodically to remove ice build-up from the interior surfaces.

The cabinet is constructed from white powder-coated steel, forming a durable exterior that resists corrosion and matches standard kitchen finishes. The three shelves, each measuring 480 by 410 millimetres, support up to 8 kilograms of product, allowing organised storage of pre-packaged meals, bulk ingredients or frozen desserts. The overall dimensions of 600 by 600 by 1850 millimetres provide a compact footprint that fits against a wall or between worktops, while the 258 litre net volume offers sufficient capacity for medium-sized operations.

An electronic controller with a digital display allows precise temperature setting and monitoring. The key lock prevents unauthorised access, protecting stock and maintaining food safety standards. The 230 V voltage requirement matches standard UK power outlets, allowing straightforward installation without dedicated circuits. The gross volume of 350 litres accounts for the internal components and insulation, ensuring the net usable space is accurately represented.

Cleaning involves periodic defrosting to remove ice accumulation, followed by wiping the interior and shelves with a mild detergent solution. The powder-coated exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance. The three included shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning or to accommodate larger items.

The cabinet is designed as a standalone unit for professional kitchens, offering a reliable freezing solution without additional variants or configurations.

Placed in the professional refrigeration section, this model serves catering operations requiring stable sub-zero storage in a compact, upright format.
