FAGOR SNACK Off-Cycle Defrost Refrigerator 506 Litre

A professional refrigerator built for high-volume catering kitchens, the FAGOR SNACK CUP-11S cools by circulating chilled air through a forced-air system. The compressor runs until the set temperature is reached, then cycles off, allowing any frost to melt naturally during the idle period. This off-cycle defrost method eliminates manual defrosting and keeps the interior free from ice build-up without interrupting service.

The operator loads food onto the adjustable shelves, sets the desired temperature between 0 °C and 8 °C on the electronic control panel, and closes the single door. The forced-air system distributes cold air evenly across every shelf, maintaining a uniform climate throughout the 506 litre chamber. LED lighting illuminates the interior, making it easy to locate items without opening the door unnecessarily. When the door is opened, the airflow continues, quickly restoring the set temperature once the door is closed again.

The cabinet is constructed from stainless steel inside and out, with 50 mm thick insulation that reduces cold loss and helps maintain a stable internal temperature. The door seal is designed to minimise air exchange, further improving efficiency. Adjustable legs allow the unit to be levelled on uneven floors, preventing door misalignment and ensuring a tight seal.

Eighteen shelf positions are available, spaced at 70 mm intervals. Each shelf is 560 mm by 542 mm, coated with epoxy for durability, and can support up to 40 kg. Shelves can be removed or repositioned to accommodate taller items, allowing the interior to be reconfigured as needed. The refrigerant used is R600a, with an optional R290 version available for specific power requirements.

The refrigerator operates on a 220–240 V single-phase supply at 50 Hz, drawing 0.361 kW of cooling power. Its 693 mm width, 739 mm depth and 2067 mm height fit into standard kitchen layouts, while the 150 kg weight ensures stability without requiring floor reinforcement. The 506 litre volume provides ample storage for prepared dishes, ingredients and beverages in a busy catering environment.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and removable shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The off-cycle defrost system eliminates the need for manual defrosting, reducing maintenance time. Shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the interior light can be accessed for replacement if needed.

Two refrigerant versions are offered: the standard R600a model and an R290 variant with a 0.398 kW cooling capacity for 60 Hz power supplies. The unit is classified as ENERGY EFFICIENCY CLASS C, reflecting its balance of performance and power consumption for professional use.

This refrigerator is categorised under professional refrigeration for catering and foodservice environments.
