How Commercial Undercounter Freezers Work

These clever kitchen allies maintain consistent sub-zero temperatures through a refrigeration cycle that's both powerful and precise. The compressor—typically tucked away at the bottom or rear—circulates refrigerant through the unit, absorbing heat and creating that crucial -18°C to -22°C environment. Digital controllers let you set exact temperatures to suit different foods, while fan-assisted cooling ensures even cold distribution throughout—no more partially frozen items! Most models feature auto-defrost functions that prevent ice buildup without manual intervention. The beauty is how they pack all this cooling power into a compact footprint that slides under standard 900mm worktops—giving you freezer storage right where you need it!
