Upright freezer TEFCOLD UF400V

A storage freezer maintains food at temperatures below freezing by continuously removing heat from the interior. The UF400 V uses a refrigeration cycle: a compressor circulates refrigerant through coils, absorbing heat from inside the cabinet and releasing it outside. Fan cooling distributes cold air evenly, preventing warm spots and ensuring consistent temperatures across every shelf. This method allows rapid recovery after the door is opened, keeping stored items frozen without fluctuation.

To operate the UF400 V, load items onto the adjustable wire shelves, close the door, and set the electronic thermostat to the desired temperature between -24 °C and -10 °C. The automatic defrost system periodically melts ice build-up on the evaporator coils, draining moisture away without manual intervention. The integrated handle and lockable door secure contents during service.

The cabinet is constructed with an internal volume of 340 litres, accommodating four wire shelves measuring 490 by 380 millimetres each. The exterior dimensions of 600 by 585 by 1855 millimetres allow placement against a wall or between worktops. A power rating of 0.3 kilowatts reflects the load on the electrical supply, suitable for a standard 220-240 volt, 50 hertz circuit found in commercial kitchens. The unit weighs 80 kilograms, requiring two people or a trolley for safe movement.

The temperature range of -24 °C to -10 °C supports long-term storage of frozen goods, from raw ingredients to prepared dishes. The 340 litre capacity provides space for organised stock, while the adjustable shelves allow rearrangement for taller items. The refrigerant R290, used in a charge of 80 grams, is a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact, complying with current regulations for professional refrigeration.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior surfaces and wire shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The automatic defrost system eliminates the need for manual defrosting, reducing maintenance time. The lockable door prevents unauthorised access, protecting stock during non-service hours.

The UF400 V is categorised under professional refrigeration for storage and inventory management in catering environments.
