GEMM Refrigerated Cabinet GN 2/1 EFN/02 for Professional Kitchens

A refrigerated cabinet keeps perishable food at a controlled low temperature by circulating chilled air through an insulated chamber. A compressor draws heat from the interior and expels it outside, while a fan spreads the cold evenly across every shelf. This continuous air movement prevents warm spots and keeps every tray at the same temperature, even when the door is opened frequently during service.

The GEMM EFN/02 cabinet is loaded with GN 2/1 gastronorm trays that slide onto adjustable runners. Six trays are supplied, each sitting 65 mm apart so that tall containers or shallow pans can be accommodated without wasted space. The operator sets the desired temperature on the touch control panel, closes the door and the unit maintains the range from -2 °C to +8 °C automatically. An internal sensor monitors the air and cycles the compressor as needed, while the automatic defrost programme melts any ice build-up and drains the condensate away without manual intervention.

Construction is stainless steel throughout, inside and out, giving a smooth, corrosion-resistant finish that wipes clean quickly. The walls are insulated with 60 mm of material to reduce heat gain and keep the compressor workload low. A lockable door secures the contents, and the unit is rated for climatic class 5, meaning it remains stable in warm, humid kitchens typical of professional catering.

The 230 V single-phase supply plugs into a standard kitchen circuit, while the 0.56 kW power rating indicates the load on that circuit. At 161 kg the cabinet is heavy enough to stay in place during use but can still be moved on a trolley for installation or deep cleaning. The 1440 mm width, 810 mm depth and 2090 mm height give a footprint that fits against most kitchen walls while leaving room for door swing and ventilation clearances.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, removing the trays to wash them separately, and checking that the condensate drain remains clear. The touch control panel is kept dry to protect the electronics, and the door seal is inspected periodically to ensure it remains airtight.

The EFN/02 model is supplied with six GN 2/1 shelves included. It is placed in the catalogue under refrigerated storage for professional kitchens.
