TEFCOLD Showcase Cooler for 7 GN1/3 Pans

A static showcase cooler keeps chilled food visible and accessible without opening a door. It circulates cold air inside the cabinet by natural convection, drawing heat away from the pans and maintaining a steady low temperature. The glass front allows customers to see the food while the refrigeration system runs quietly in the background, making it suitable for self-service counters and display areas where presentation matters.

The operator loads up to seven GN1/3 gastronorm pans directly onto the static cooling surface. No fan forces the air, so the pans sit still and the food stays undisturbed. The unit is set to hold the temperature between +2 °C and +10 °C, which keeps prepared dishes safe while allowing them to be picked up quickly. Adjustable feet level the cooler on uneven floors, ensuring the glass front remains aligned and the door seals properly.

The cabinet is built from stainless steel, forming a hygienic interior that resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down. A glass protective panel shields the food from airborne contaminants while keeping it in view. The cooler is offered with either a stainless steel cover or the glass panel, allowing the operator to choose between full visibility and a more enclosed display.

Controls are minimal: a thermostat maintains the set temperature range automatically. The 0.112 kW power rating reflects the load on the electrical circuit, which must supply 220-240 V at 50 Hz. The 56 kg weight means the unit can be moved with a trolley but is stable once positioned. The 1600 mm width fits standard worktop runs, while the 59 L volume matches the seven GN1/3 pans it is designed to hold.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel interior and the glass panel with a mild detergent. The static cooling surface should be kept free of spills to prevent ice build-up. Adjustable feet should be checked periodically to keep the unit level and the door seal effective.

The VK38-160 is available in two variants: one with a stainless steel cover and one with a glass protective panel. It is categorised as a worktop refrigeration unit for professional catering display.
