FAGOR CUN-11G1/1 Electric Freezer for GN 1/1 Trays

A professional freezer built to hold gastronorm 1/1 trays at deep-freeze temperatures without manual defrosting. The unit relies on a refrigeration cycle that removes heat from the cabinet and expels it outside, creating a stable cold zone below -18 °C. Off-cycle defrost periodically stops the compressor to let ice melt from the evaporator, eliminating the need for operator intervention and keeping the interior frost-free during normal use.

The operator loads trays or containers onto the three epoxy-coated shelves, closes the single door and sets the electronic controller to the desired temperature between -18 °C and -22 °C. An internal fan circulates cold air evenly across every shelf, ensuring uniform freezing and preventing warm spots. LED lighting illuminates the 305-litre chamber, making it easy to locate items without opening the door unnecessarily. The shelves slide out for loading and unloading, and their epoxy coating resists corrosion from moisture and food acids.

Construction is stainless steel inside and out, chosen for hygiene and resistance to daily wear in a busy kitchen. A 70 mm layer of insulation surrounds the cabinet, reducing cold loss and keeping the compressor running efficiently. The unit stands on adjustable legs that level it on uneven floors and raise it 130 to 200 mm above the worktop, allowing mops to pass underneath. The 100 kg weight requires two people or a trolley to move, and the 490 mm width fits through standard kitchen doorways.

The electronic control panel sets the temperature and displays the current reading. A 220-240 V single-phase supply powers the 0.364 kW compressor, which draws current only when cooling is needed. The refrigerant R290 is a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact, and the 50 Hz motor matches the standard British mains frequency.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying to prevent water marks. The three removable shelves can be washed separately in a sink or dishwasher. The off-cycle defrost system means no manual defrosting is required, but the evaporator should be inspected periodically for ice build-up that could block airflow.

A 60 Hz version with a 0.381 kW compressor is available as a separate article for export markets.

The freezer is designed for gastronorm 1/1 trays and fits the standardised shelving systems used in professional kitchens.
