TEFCOLD SPID250 Refrigerated Food Showcase

A refrigerated showcase keeps chilled food visible and accessible without breaking the cold chain. A compressor circulates refrigerant through an evaporator coil behind the display area. The coil absorbs heat from the food and the surrounding air, lowering the temperature inside the cabinet. A fan moves the cooled air evenly across the shelves, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout. This method prevents warm spots and keeps food safe while allowing customers to see and reach it without opening a door.

The SPID250 is loaded from the top or front. Place gastronorm pans of prepared food onto the refrigerated shelf, then close the hinged front glass to seal the cabinet. Set the desired temperature between -1 and +5 °C using the control panel. The automatic defrost cycle removes ice from the evaporator without manual intervention, and the LED interior light illuminates the contents for clear visibility. When the food needs replenishing or cleaning, the front glass hinges forward for easy access.

The cabinet is built with a flat glass structure that encloses the refrigerated area, protecting food from airborne contaminants while allowing an unobstructed view. The exterior is finished in black, and the interior is lined with materials that reflect the LED light for even illumination. A ventilated cooling system ensures air circulates continuously, and the automatic defrost function prevents ice build-up on the evaporator coil.

The control panel sets the operating temperature within the -1 to +5 °C range. The LED interior light switches on automatically when the front glass is opened, improving visibility for staff and customers.

A power rating of 1.284 kW indicates the load the unit places on the electrical supply. The 230 V, 50 Hz voltage requirement matches the standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The temperature range of -1 to +5 °C is suitable for displaying chilled prepared foods, dairy products and deli items that require refrigeration but not freezing. The gross weight of 277 to 297 kg means the unit is moved with a pallet truck or forklift, not carried by hand. The footprint of 2465 mm wide, 960 mm deep and 1235 mm high determines the space it occupies on the shop floor, typically along a wall or island display.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass surfaces with a mild detergent to remove fingerprints and smudges. The hinged front glass opens fully, allowing access to the interior for thorough cleaning. The automatic defrost cycle reduces the need for manual defrosting, but the evaporator coil should be checked periodically for dust accumulation that could reduce efficiency.

The SPID250 accepts GN1/1 gastronorm pans, allowing standardised food containers to be used for display. The black exterior is a single finish option.

This refrigerated showcase is categorised under refrigeration equipment for food display in professional catering environments.
