GLASS DOOR GASTRANORM UNDERBAR FRIDGE

Glass Door (Gastronorm)

Streamline your kitchen prep flow and keep pre-portioned ingredients immediately visible without opening doors. The Glass Door Gastronorm cabinet series is purpose-built for high-volume commercial catering, restaurant kitchens, and institutional food service. Combining GN-compatible internal tray slides with double-glazed, high-visibility glass doors and rapid forced-air circulation, this commercial chiller keeps standard Gastronorm pans chilled, organized, and ready for service.

Constructed from commercial-grade stainless steel with high-density injected polyurethane insulation, the cabinet stands up to the demanding conditions of commercial catering. Heavy-duty self-closing torsion hinges with magnetic perimeter gaskets seal tightly to retain cold air and reduce compressor run-times. Outfitted with bright internal vertical LED illumination, a digital controller with voltage surge protection, and an automated condensate evaporation system, it is an essential cold-storage workstation for busy culinary operations.

Q: What sizes of Gastronorm pans fit directly into this cabinet?

A: The interior cavity and stainless steel side runners are sized specifically to accept standard GN 2/1 pans directly, or GN 1/1 pans side by side, allowing seamless transfer straight from cooking lines and prep tables without repacking.

Q: Do the glass doors cause higher energy consumption compared to solid door units?

A: While solid doors offer higher raw thermal insulation, glass doors save energy in busy kitchens by allowing chefs to locate ingredients before opening the unit. This drastically cuts down on the duration and frequency of open-door cycles during peak rush periods.

Q: Does the unit produce water on the floor during defrost cycles?

A: No. The cabinet features an internal auto-evaporation tray located adjacent to the condensing unit. It catches defrost meltwater and uses the natural operating heat of the compressor to evaporate the water automatically, keeping your kitchen floors dry and hazard-free.

Designed specifically around standard GN 2/1 and GN 1/1 pan dimensions, this upright glass door gastronorm cabinet eliminates awkward shelf transfers by allowing chefs to slide food pans directly from prep benches into refrigerated storage. The clear, double-glazed tempered safety glass doors provide instant stock visibility, reducing the time kitchen staff spend searching for ingredients with doors held open.
