Venue suitability: Suited to commercial kitchens where under-counter ingredient access is critical — restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering operations, and food production sites running both fridge and freezer requirements. The FlexDrawer's low profile means it can sit under a range, fryer stand, or prep bench without raising the working surface height.

Frequently asked questions
Can this unit run as both a fridge and a freezer?
Yes — the CBR1-3 can switch between fridge mode (+2 to +8°C) and freezer mode (-22 to -18°C) at the touch of a button. Only one mode is active at a time per drawer.
How many GN pans does the drawer hold?
The single drawer accepts 3 x GN 1/1 pans at 150mm depth, maximising accessible ingredient storage at worktop level.
What refrigerant does the CBR1-3 use?
It uses R290, a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with very low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion. R290 is CFC-free and compliant with current AU environmental standards.
What power supply is required?
The CBR1-3 requires a standard 230V single-phase supply and draws 270W in operation — compatible with a standard commercial kitchen GPO.
