Upright freezer Stalgast 880406

A stainless steel upright freezer maintains food at sub-zero temperatures by circulating cold air evenly throughout the cabinet. The refrigeration unit compresses refrigerant gas, cooling it rapidly before forcing it through coils inside the cabinet. This process removes heat from the stored items, lowering their temperature to the set range and preserving freshness over extended periods. Forced air circulation ensures consistent cooling across all shelves, preventing hot spots and reducing the need for frequent manual adjustment.

To operate the freezer, load food items onto the seven included shelves, each sized to hold standard gastronorm trays. Set the desired temperature using the electronic controller, which displays the current reading for easy monitoring. The built-in key lock secures the contents when not in use. Manual defrosting requires periodic removal of ice build-up to maintain efficiency, typically performed when frost accumulation exceeds a few millimetres.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen environment. The exterior dimensions allow placement in workspaces with standard ceiling heights, while the interior volume accommodates bulk storage without overcrowding. The seven shelves provide organised space for different food types, keeping items accessible and visible.

The electronic controller regulates the temperature within the specified range, allowing precise control for different storage needs. The voltage requirement matches standard UK single-phase circuits, ensuring compatibility with typical commercial kitchen power supplies. The power rating indicates the load the freezer places on the electrical system, which should be considered when planning circuit capacity.

Cleaning involves wiping down the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, focusing on the shelves and door seals to prevent bacterial growth. The manual defrost process requires turning off the unit and allowing ice to melt naturally, followed by wiping away excess water before restarting. The forced air system should be checked periodically to ensure unobstructed airflow around the coils.

The freezer is available in a single configuration with a 258 litre net capacity and 350 litre gross volume, providing additional space for temporary storage during peak usage. The product is categorised under commercial refrigeration for professional catering environments.
