Frequently Asked Questions on Upright Fridges and Freezers

Commercial fridges are engineered specifically for business use, featuring more powerful cooling systems and precise temperature control. They maintain temperatures between 0-4°C with heavy-duty compressors that enable quick recovery after door openings. Built with stainless steel construction and reinforced shelving, commercial units offer significantly larger capacity (400L-1,400L) and comply with HACCP food safety requirements and Australian commercial kitchen standards.

Key considerations include proper spacing for ventilation (300mm rear, 150mm sides), power requirements (10-13 amp/240V), and temperature needs for different food types. Look for units with 4-star energy ratings, self-closing doors with magnetic seals, and adjustable shelving systems. Ensure the unit meets Australian Standards and includes features that facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.

Single door units typically measure 650-700mm in width, 800-850mm in depth, and 2000-2100mm in height. Double door units extend to 1200-1400mm in width. Installation requires adequate ceiling clearance and ventilation space, with door swing allowance of 900-1100mm.

Essential features include digital temperature control with 0.1°C accuracy, 304-grade stainless steel construction, and automated defrost cycles. Units should have door locks with emergency release, HACCP monitoring systems, and temperature alarms. All components must meet Australian Standards AS 1731 for commercial refrigeration.

Regular maintenance includes daily cleaning of seals and temperature monitoring, weekly internal cleaning, and monthly inspection of mechanical components. Quarterly professional servicing is recommended for system checks and performance testing. This schedule ensures optimal performance and compliance with food safety standards.

Maintain optimal temperature settings around 3°C, minimise door opening time, and ensure proper spacing between stored items. Position the unit away from heat sources and maintain recommended clearances for ventilation. Regular cleaning and maintenance of seals and condensers significantly impact energy consumption.
