-
Dual-zone flexibility — each drawer switches independently between fridge (+2 to +8°C) and freezer (-22 to -18°C) at the touch of a button, no additional plumbing required

R290 natural refrigerant — environmentally responsible, high-efficiency refrigerant with low global warming potential
-
GN1/1 pan compatibility — 150mm deep GN1/1 pans fit directly, maximising usable storage space under the pass
-
Tropical-rated performance — operates reliably up to 40°C ambient (40%RH), built for Australia's harshest kitchen environments

Frequently asked questions
Can each drawer be set to a different temperature? Yes — each drawer operates independently and can be switched between fridge (+2 to +8°C) and freezer (-22 to -18°C) mode at the touch of a button on the LED control panel.
What refrigerant does the CBR2-2 use? The CBR2-2 uses R290, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with a very low global warming potential (GWP of 3) and no ozone depletion — compliant with current AU environmental requirements.
Will GN1/1 pans fit in the drawers? Yes — the drawers accept GN1/1 pans up to 150mm deep, maximising your cold storage capacity under the line.
Is the CBR2-2 suitable for Australian summer conditions? Yes — it is tropical-rated to operate in ambient temperatures up to 40°C at 40% relative humidity, which covers the vast majority of Australian commercial kitchen environments.
What does the warranty cover? The CBR2-2 carries a 2-year parts and labour warranty plus a further 2-year parts-only warranty (4 years total), provided the unit is registered with Thermaster within 14 days of invoice.
