SCANDOMESTIC SIF300GC 292 L Refrigerated Display/Freezer

A refrigerated display and freezer combined in a single unit, the SCANDOMESTIC SIF300GC switches between chilled and frozen storage at the turn of a dial. The appliance cools or freezes by circulating refrigerant through an evaporator coil inside the cabinet. When set to cooling, the coil absorbs heat from the air, lowering the temperature to between 0 °C and +8 °C, keeping perishables fresh while allowing them to be seen. In freezer mode, the same coil pulls heat out more aggressively, reaching −18 °C to −24 °C, locking in frozen goods without frost build-up. The refrigerant, R290, transfers heat efficiently and returns to the compressor to repeat the cycle continuously, maintaining the chosen temperature without manual defrosting.

To use the unit, the operator loads products onto the three wire baskets or directly onto the white-coated steel shelves. The sliding curved glass lids open smoothly, allowing quick access without breaking the cold seal. A digital control panel sets the desired temperature range; the display confirms the current reading and adjusts the compressor and fan to hold it. The bright 6500 Kelvin LED lighting switches on automatically when the lids are opened, illuminating every corner evenly so products remain visible from the shop floor. Two of the four castors lock to hold the unit in place during service.

The cabinet is built with a grey exterior and a white interior, both lined with pre-coated galvanised steel for resistance to moisture and scratches. The door and lid frames are black, while the shelf edges are white, matching the interior. The 292 L volume is divided into a single compartment that can be set to either temperature range, making it possible to switch between chilled drinks and frozen desserts without moving stock to a separate appliance.

The 220-240 V power supply matches standard UK commercial circuits, and the 0.320 kWh consumption over 24 hours reflects the load on the kitchen's electrical supply. The gross weight of 61 kg and the footprint of 880 mm wide by 1060 mm deep determine where the unit can be placed and how it is moved. The climate class 3 rating means the appliance operates reliably in ambient temperatures typical of a British retail environment.

Cleaning involves wiping the interior and baskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying to prevent ice formation. The glass lids slide out for thorough cleaning, and the castors can be removed if the floor needs to be washed underneath. The LED lighting requires no maintenance beyond occasional dusting.

The SIF300GC is listed in the catalogue under dual-temperature display units, combining refrigeration and freezing in a single footprint for shops and small foodservice operations.
