FAGOR FWC-2601-T1-C-L-W-BLA TR Wine Refrigerator, 776 L Grey

A professional wine refrigerator maintains a steady, controlled environment to preserve and display bottles at their optimal conditions. Unlike a standard refrigerator, it does not simply cool the air; it circulates chilled air evenly across every shelf, preventing temperature fluctuations that can damage wine. The cooling system removes heat from the interior and expels it outside, while an insulated cabinet minimises external heat gain. This method ensures that each bottle is stored at the correct temperature, whether for short-term service or long-term ageing.

The process begins by loading the bottles onto the shelves, which are designed to hold them securely and horizontally. The operator sets the desired temperature range between +4 °C and +18 °C using the electronic control panel, which displays the current settings on a digital screen. Once powered on, the refrigeration unit activates, drawing heat from the interior and circulating cooled air through internal fans. These fans distribute the air evenly, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the cabinet. The electric defrost system periodically melts any frost build-up, with the resulting water automatically evaporated to prevent manual drainage.

The unit is constructed with a stainless steel interior and exterior, providing durability for intensive professional use. Double-glazed walls filled with argon gas enhance thermal insulation, while heated glass and door frames prevent condensation. The hinged doors allow easy access to the bottles, and the horizontal LED lighting illuminates the interior, highlighting the presentation of the wine.

The voltage requirement of 220-240 V indicates that the refrigerator connects to a standard single-phase circuit, suitable for most commercial kitchens. The 776 L capacity allows storage of a large number of bottles, while the 295 kg weight suggests the unit is designed for floor installation with sufficient structural support. The footprint of 862×632 mm determines the floor space it occupies, and the 2600 mm height requires adequate vertical clearance for installation.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and removing any dust from the ventilation grilles to maintain airflow. The electric defrost system eliminates the need for manual defrosting, reducing maintenance tasks. Shelves and hooks are supplied separately and must be assembled before use.

The refrigerator is available in a 60 Hz version with refrigerant R290, which may require an additional purchase. It is classified under climate class 5, meaning it operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to +40 °C and relative humidity of 40%, making it suitable for demanding professional environments.

This model is positioned in the professional refrigeration section of the catalogue, designed for restaurants, hotels, bars, and other HoReCa establishments requiring reliable wine storage and presentation.
