FAGOR HOT GAS GN 2/1 610 L Display Freezer with Electric Defrost

A professional display freezer built for high-volume kitchens, the FAGOR HOT GAS GN 2/1 keeps frozen goods visible and accessible while maintaining stable low temperatures. The unit circulates cold air through a forced-air system, pushing it evenly across every shelf. This method prevents warm spots and ensures consistent freezing, which is critical for preserving texture and safety in frozen foods. The refrigeration cycle relies on a compressor that pressurises and expands refrigerant gas, removing heat from the cabinet and expelling it outside. Electric defrost reverses the cycle briefly, melting frost from the evaporator coils without raising the cabinet temperature significantly.

To operate the freezer, the user loads products onto the three removable GN 2/1 shelves. The electronic control panel, with its digital display, is set to the desired temperature between -18 and -22 °C. Once powered, the unit maintains this range automatically, using sensors to monitor conditions and adjust the compressor and fans. An ECO mode reduces energy use during quieter periods, while the HACCP logging system records any temperature deviations or power interruptions, storing up to ten alerts for later review. The glass doors open with an ergonomic handle and close automatically, minimising cold-air loss.

The cabinet is constructed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, inside and out, providing a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that resists bacteria and is easy to sanitise. The interior features rounded corners and profiled edges to reduce dirt traps, while an integrated drainage system channels defrost water away during cleaning. The three epoxy-coated shelves are adjustable in 55 mm increments across 24 positions, allowing the user to reconfigure the space for different product heights and GN 2/1 gastronorm trays. The doors are double-glazed, with an electric anti-condensation heater in the frame to prevent fogging and ice build-up.

A 610-litre volume provides ample storage for bulk frozen goods, while the 693 mm width, 856 mm depth and 2106 mm height fit through standard kitchen doorways and under most worktop canopies. The 152 kg weight requires a solid floor and a trolley for movement, but adjustable stainless-steel legs allow precise levelling once in place. The 0.535 kW cooling power indicates the load on the electrical circuit, which must be supplied at 220-240 V 50 Hz. The -18 to -22 °C range is standard for frozen storage, suitable for ice cream, pre-prepared meals and frozen vegetables, but not for blast freezing or deep-freezing fresh products.

Cleaning involves removing the shelves and wiping down the stainless-steel interior with a mild detergent. The drainage system collects defrost water, which should be emptied after each defrost cycle. The epoxy-coated shelves can be washed separately, while the glass doors are cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth to maintain visibility. The exterior stainless steel requires only a damp cloth and occasional polish to remove fingerprints and smudges.

The model is available with R290 refrigerant, supplied separately. The unit is designed for GN 2/1 gastronorm compatibility and is placed in the professional refrigeration section of the catalogue, alongside other heavy-duty display and storage freezers.
