FAGOR SNACK 1109 L Four-Door Refrigerator-Freezer

A professional refrigerator-freezer that keeps chilled and frozen goods in separate compartments, each held at the exact temperature the kitchen requires. The refrigeration system circulates cold air with a fan, drawing heat out of the stored food and pushing it through an evaporator coil. The coil condenses the heat into a liquid refrigerant, which is then compressed and released outside the cabinet. This continuous cycle removes heat faster than still air can, so the temperature stays even across every shelf and the food remains safe for service. The upper section is set between 0 and +8 °C, where fresh ingredients, dairy and prepared dishes are held just above freezing. The lower section is kept between -18 and -22 °C, deep enough to freeze meat, fish, vegetables and bakery items without ice crystals forming. Each compartment has its own defrost method: the refrigerator side stops the compressor at intervals to let any frost melt naturally, while the freezer side uses an electric heater to clear ice from the coil without raising the temperature inside. The operator loads the shelves through four full-height doors, two for the refrigerator and two for the freezer. An electronic control panel on the front sets the exact temperature for each section, and an LED display shows the current reading. The interior is lit by energy-saving LEDs, so every shelf is visible without shadows. Shelves slide out on epoxy-coated runners and can be repositioned at 18 different heights to fit tall containers or shallow trays. Each shelf measures 560 by 542 mm and supports up to 40 kg, enough for bulk packs of meat, sheet pans of prepared food or stacked gastronorm containers. The cabinet is built from stainless steel inside and out, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. A 50 mm layer of insulation surrounds the compartments, reducing the amount of heat that enters and keeping the temperature stable even when the ambient air is warm. The unit stands on adjustable legs that can be set between 130 and 200 mm to level the cabinet on uneven floors or raise it above a wet surface. The cooling power of 0.800 kW determines the load on the electrical circuit; the unit runs on a 220-240 V single-phase supply at 50 Hz, the standard for professional kitchens in the United Kingdom. The refrigerant R600a is a hydrocarbon that does not deplete the ozone layer and has a low global-warming potential. A 60 Hz version is available as a separate article for sites with that frequency. The 1109 litre volume is the total usable space inside the cabinet, divided between the refrigerator and freezer sections. The footprint of 1388 by 739 mm fits into a standard worktop run or against a wall, while the height of 2067 mm allows the unit to stand beneath most kitchen ceilings without clearance issues. The weight of 300 kg means the cabinet is moved with a pallet truck or trolley, not by hand. Stainless-steel interior and exterior wipe clean in seconds between lunch and dinner service without trapping food residues or odours. The stainless steel surfaces are wiped with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dried to prevent water marks. Shelves and runners are removed and washed separately, and the drain pan beneath the evaporator coil is emptied and cleaned to prevent odours. The door seals are checked regularly and cleaned with a soft brush to keep them airtight. The adjustable legs are set to the correct height once the unit is in place, and the level is checked periodically to ensure the doors close properly. The model is placed in the professional refrigeration section of the catalogue, under four-door refrigerator-freezers for catering and foodservice.
