Description
The FED-X XCB-36 is a refrigerated chef base drawer bench that positions cold ingredient storage directly beneath your Gaxmax or compatible cooking equipment, keeping mise en place within arm's reach at pass temperature while freeing up conventional fridge space. With a 184-litre gross capacity across two full-width drawers, it is designed to sit beneath a countertop cooking suite and double as a heavy-duty worktable surface.
Why operators choose the XCB-36
-
Two full-width refrigerated drawers — keep prepped ingredients cold at the cookline without breaking stride; each drawer runs on Austrian Fulterer runners for smooth, reliable operation
-
Raised-edge stainless worktop — the flat top doubles as a prep and plating surface directly above the cooking suite, maximising tight kitchen footprints
-
HFC/CFC-free R290 refrigerant — environmentally compliant refrigerant with fan-forced evaporator cooling for rapid temperature recovery after each drawer open
-
Tropicalised for Australian conditions — rated to 32°C ambient / 65% RH, purpose-built for hot commercial kitchen environments
-
Heavy-duty mobility — four castors with front-wheel brakes allow repositioning for cleaning and maintenance without disconnecting the unit

Frequently asked questions
What GN pan size fits the XCB-36 drawers?
Each drawer is compatible with gastronomy pans (GN pans) up to 100mm in height. GN pans are sold separately. The unit requires a GN pan to use the storage function effectively.
Can the XCB-36 support countertop cooking equipment on top?
Yes — the raised-edge stainless steel worktop is designed to support compatible countertop cooking equipment, and the unit is purpose-built to serve as a refrigerated base beneath Gaxmax and similar cooking suites. Check the weight rating of your specific cooking equipment against the worktop load specification.
What is the warranty on the XCB-36?
The XCB-36 carries a 2-Year Parts & Labour warranty plus an additional 2-Year Parts-Only warranty — 4 years total — when the product is registered within 14 days of invoice date.
Is the XCB-36 suited to hot or humid kitchen environments?
Yes — the unit is tropicalised for Australian commercial kitchen conditions and is rated to operate at up to 32°C ambient temperature and 65% relative humidity.
What refrigerant does the XCB-36 use?
The XCB-36 uses R290 (propane), an HFC/CFC-free natural hydrocarbon refrigerant. R290 has a very low global warming potential (GWP) and is fully compliant with current Australian environmental standards.
