Description
The Thermaster SUC1000 is a tropical-rated upright storage fridge designed for high-ambient commercial kitchens that demand reliable positive-temperature storage. With a 689 L net capacity across four solid half-doors, it maintains a consistent +2 to +8°C even in kitchen environments up to 43°C ambient — making it the standard choice for busy venues where cold-room access is frequent and controlled temperature recovery is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked questions
What does tropical-rated mean?
The SUC1000 is engineered to maintain its +2 to +8°C operating range in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 43°C. Standard commercial fridges are typically rated to 32–38°C ambient; tropical-rated models use higher-capacity compressors and fans to handle the additional heat load common in professional kitchens.
What is the usable (net) capacity of the SUC1000?
The net storage capacity is 689 L. The 1000 L figure in the model name refers to gross cabinet volume; net capacity accounts for the space taken by shelving, evaporator coil, and fan assembly.
How many doors does the SUC1000 have?
It has four solid half-doors arranged in two columns of two. Each half-door opens independently, minimising the cold-air loss when only part of the cabinet needs to be accessed during a busy service period.
What warranty does the SUC1000 carry?
The SUC1000 is backed by a 2-year parts and labour warranty, extendable to a further 2 years of parts-only cover when the product is registered within 14 days of invoice — 4 years total warranty protection.
What power supply is required?
The SUC1000 runs on a standard Australian 240V single-phase supply drawing 706W. No three-phase or special electrical installation is required.
