Scandomestic 160 L Refrigerated Display Cabinet DCC217WD

A refrigerated display cabinet keeps bottled and canned drinks chilled while making them visible to customers. Cooling begins with a compressor that circulates refrigerant through evaporator coils inside the cabinet. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, lowering the temperature to the set range. A fan then distributes the cooled air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and ensuring consistent chilling throughout the unit. This method maintains the drinks at a steady temperature without freezing, preserving their quality and extending shelf life while keeping them ready for immediate sale.

To load the cabinet, the operator opens the self-closing black door on the right side, unlocking it with the integrated key if security is required. Five adjustable white wire shelves are positioned at intervals that match the height of the bottles or cans. Each shelf supports up to 32 kg, allowing dense packing without risk of sagging. The shelves slide out for easier access, and their open wire construction lets air circulate freely around every item, speeding up the cooling process. Once the drinks are in place, the door closes automatically, minimising temperature rise. A vertical LED strip on the front illuminates the contents, casting light directly onto the bottles and cans to highlight their labels and branding. The illuminated canopy above the cabinet provides space for additional branding or promotional graphics, turning the unit into a focal point for impulse purchases.

The cabinet's 160 L gross volume and 133 L net capacity accommodate up to 230 standard 33 cl bottles or 240 slim 25 cl cans, making it suitable for high-traffic retail environments. Its 1950 mm width, 450 mm depth and 515 mm height fit along shop counters or against walls without occupying excessive floor space. The 220–240 V voltage requirement matches standard UK commercial circuits, allowing straightforward installation without dedicated wiring. The 0.200 kW power rating reflects the compressor's load, which remains constant as the cabinet maintains its temperature range of 0 to 10 °C. This range is chosen to keep drinks chilled without freezing, preserving carbonation and taste while meeting food safety standards for refrigerated storage.

Cleaning involves removing the wire shelves and wiping them with a damp cloth to clear spills or dust. The interior white surfaces and exterior white body are wiped down with mild detergent, avoiding abrasives that could scratch the finish. The black door and trim are cleaned separately to prevent streaking. The LED lighting strip is dusted with a dry cloth to maintain brightness, and the illuminated canopy is checked for smudges that could dim the branding display. The adjustable feet are levelled to ensure the door seals properly, preventing cold air from escaping and reducing energy waste.

The cabinet is designed for retail and impulse sales, with a climate class of CC2 indicating it performs reliably in environments where ambient temperatures reach 32 °C. Its energy efficiency class D reflects the balance between cooling performance and power consumption, suitable for continuous operation in shops, cafés and petrol stations. The refrigerant R600a is a hydrocarbon with low environmental impact, chosen for its efficiency in small to medium refrigeration systems. The unit's white interior and exterior create a neutral backdrop that allows product colours and labels to stand out, while the black door and trim add contrast to draw customer attention.
