Description
The Thermaster SFWC500 is a 500-litre full-width upright storage fridge with one solid door and no centre mullion, giving 312 L of net storage in a 620 × 760 × 1980 mm footprint.

The SFWC500 is 500 litres gross and 312 litres net, across four shelf levels plus the cabinet floor.
What temperature does the SFWC500 hold?
The SFWC500 holds 2°C to 8°C, and is rated for ambient conditions up to 32°C at 60% relative humidity.
What power supply does the SFWC500 need?
