Scandomestic HOME SK 145 E 145 L Under-Counter Refrigerator

A ventilated cooling system circulates chilled air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and keeping ingredients at a steady temperature from the moment the door closes. This method relies on a fan that draws air over the evaporator coil, cooling it before distributing it throughout the cabinet. The result is consistent refrigeration without the need for manual defrosting or frequent temperature checks, allowing kitchen staff to focus on preparation rather than equipment monitoring.

The refrigerator is loaded through a single, full-width door that opens to reveal three adjustable wire shelves. Each shelf can be repositioned to accommodate taller items or removed entirely for cleaning. The door's self-closing mechanism ensures it shuts securely after each use, minimising cold air loss. Four castors allow the unit to be rolled into place under a worktop or moved for deep cleaning, while two adjustable front feet provide stability once positioned.

Operation begins by plugging the refrigerator into a standard 220–240 V supply, which powers the compressor and fan. The electronic control panel, mounted externally for easy access, displays the current temperature and allows adjustment within the 0 to +10 °C range. The refrigerant, R600a, circulates through the system, absorbing heat from the interior and releasing it outside, maintaining the set temperature without manual intervention.

The cabinet and door are constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitisation in a professional kitchen. The wire shelves, coated in a food-safe finish, allow air to circulate freely around stored items, while their dimensions—511 mm wide and either 504 mm or 240 mm deep—provide flexibility for organising different container sizes. The exterior dimensions of 595 mm in width and depth, with a height of 820 mm, ensure the refrigerator fits neatly under most worktops, making efficient use of vertical space.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while the wire shelves can be removed and washed separately. The castors and feet should be checked periodically to ensure the unit remains level and mobile. The 145 L capacity is measured by the usable internal volume, offering sufficient space for perishable ingredients without occupying excessive floor area.

The SK 145 E is designed for under-counter installation in professional kitchens, cafés, and restaurants, where space is limited but reliable refrigeration is essential. Its placement in the Scandomestic HOME catalogue reflects its role as a compact, energy-efficient solution for storing ingredients at safe temperatures without the bulk of larger units.
