Scandomestic 251 L Fridge Freezer with Care+ Compartment 700335CBF251MNFXC

A combined fridge and freezer unit keeps perishable goods at separate, stable temperatures by circulating chilled air through two independent cooling circuits. The fridge section cools food gently above freezing, slowing bacterial growth without freezing the contents, while the freezer section removes heat until the water in the food solidifies, halting spoilage indefinitely. This dual-circuit design allows each compartment to maintain its own temperature range without transferring odours or moisture between them.

The freezer drawers hold bulk items or frozen goods, with one extra-large drawer accommodating larger packages. An electronic control panel at the top of the unit sets the desired temperature for each section, and horizontal LED lighting illuminates the interior when the door is opened.

The cabinet is constructed with a stainless steel exterior and a white interior, while the shelves, balconies and drawers are made of transparent blue plastic. Four adjustable fridge shelves and four door balconies provide flexible storage for bottles and smaller items, and three full-width freezer drawers organise frozen goods. The door opens to a full 90° without requiring additional side clearance, allowing the unit to be placed flush against a wall or in a tight space.

A 251 L volume provides ample storage for a professional kitchen without occupying excessive floor space, while the 540 mm depth keeps the unit within standard worktop depths. The 220-240 V voltage requirement matches the standard UK single-phase supply, and the 0.100 kWh/24h power consumption reflects the energy needed to maintain the set temperatures continuously. The 60 kg weight indicates a freestanding unit that can be moved with a trolley but is not designed for frequent relocation.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth, removing and washing the plastic shelves and drawers in warm soapy water, and defrosting the freezer compartment when ice build-up exceeds 3 mm. The transparent blue plastic allows quick inspection of stored items, reducing the need to open the door unnecessarily.

The model CBF251MNFXC is a domestic-rated appliance, designed for light to medium use in a professional environment. It is listed in the refrigeration section of the catering equipment catalogue.
