Suitable for restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, production kitchens and catering operations, it is an excellent choice for cook-chill and batch preparation.
Manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel, this robust cabinet features ventilated cooling, automatic defrost and shelf supports suitable for both GN1/1 gastronorm pans and 600 x 400 bakery trays, offering excellent flexibility across a wide range of catering applications.
