FED-X XGNS900B 2-Door Compact Workbench Fridge 240L | 5-Star GEMS GN 1/1 10A

[GLOBAL_MSG]

Optimise kitchen floor space, cut ongoing electricity bills, and streamline food prep efficiency with the FED-X XGNS900B 240L Commercial 2 Solid Door Underbench Worktop Fridge. Purpose-engineered for Australian commercial kitchens, boutique cafes, tapas bars, takeaway counters, pubs, and restaurant plating lines where space is tight, this compact 903 mm wide dual-purpose refrigerated counter combines a heavy-duty stainless steel prep benchtop with an energy-efficient 240-litre gross storage capacity (180L net volume), keeping prepped ingredients safely chilled right at your workstation.

Certified 5-Star GEMS Energy Efficiency & Eco-Friendly R600A Performance

Rising commercial electricity tariffs make energy efficiency a vital consideration for round-the-clock hospitality operations. The FED-X XGNS900B features a certified 5-Star GEMS energy efficiency rating, consuming an ultra-low 2.586 kWh per 24 hours. Driven by natural, eco-friendly R600A refrigerant and a European-engineered Embraco/Secop compressor, this static-cooling system holds internal temperatures between +2°C and +8°C reliably in ambient kitchen environments up to +38°C with 60% relative humidity.

Dual-Purpose Prep Benchtop with Flush Wall-Fit Design

Consolidate floor space by combining food preparation and cold storage into a single piece of equipment. The top deck serves as an ergonomic food prep counter at an accessible 897 mm working height. Engineered with a smart rear airflow system, the cabinet can be positioned flush against back walls or adjoining benches, eliminating dead space behind the unit and preventing dust, grease, and ingredients from falling down hard-to-clean gaps.

Certified 4M1 Food Safety & Standard GN 1/1 Compatibility

Certified to strict 4M1 food safety standards, the XGNS900B ensures delicate dairy products, fresh meats, prepared salad items, and dressings remain held at food-safe temperatures compliant with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) Standard 3.2.2. The internal cavity measures 830(W) x 595(D) x 455(H) mm, sized specifically to hold standard GN 1/1 Gastronorm wire shelves and pan configurations. Kitchen staff can transfer pre-portioned pans directly between coolrooms, prep benches, and service counters without re-handling food.

Heavy-Duty Fulterer Runners & Solid Commercial Stainless Steel

Built to withstand demanding hospitality environments, the XGNS900B is constructed from food-grade commercial stainless steel across both interior and exterior surfaces. The interior features coved, rounded corners that eliminate dirt traps for fast, hygienic end-of-shift sanitisation. Fitted with industry-standard Fulterer heavy-duty runners, the slide hardware supports heavy prep weights (up to 40 kg per shelf) without sagging. Solid self-closing doors are equipped with tool-free push-in magnetic gaskets that pull away cleanly for inspection and cleaning.

Precision Dixell Digital Controls & Plug-and-Play 10A Connection

An exterior Dixell digital microprocessor controller and bright LED display provide real-time temperature monitoring and simple adjustments for HACCP logging. Drawing an economical 170W on standard single-phase 240V power (approx. 1.2 Amps), the XGNS900B comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, connecting straight into standard commercial wall sockets without requiring electrical upgrades. Supported by an extended 2+2 Year Commercial Warranty, it provides dependable cooling performance with low operating overheads.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect refrigeration efficiency, prevent compressor strain, and ensure commercial hygiene compliance:

1. Power Isolation: Before undertaking deep interior cleaning or rearranging shelf runners, power off the unit via the digital controller, switch off the power point, and disconnect the 10A plug from the wall outlet.

2. Stainless Steel Worktop & Exterior Care: Wipe down the 903 mm stainless steel prep deck, door faces, and side panels daily using warm water and a neutral commercial sanitiser. Dry thoroughly with a clean microfibre cloth following the grain of the steel. Never use steel wool, wire brushes, metal scrapers, or harsh chlorine bleaches, as these will scratch the surface and induce pitting.

3. Internal Cavity Sanitisation: Remove the GN 1/1 wire shelves and wipe down the stainless steel interior liner and coved floor deck with a food-safe sanitiser. Clean the tool-free magnetic door gaskets with warm, mild soapy water to remove accumulated crumbs, oils, and sauces, ensuring an airtight seal.

4. Tool-Free Gasket Maintenance: Inspect perimeter door seals weekly for splits or food buildup. If food debris is trapped within the gasket folds, gently pull the seal out of its retaining channel, wash it in a sink, dry it, and press it back into place without using tools.

5. Condenser Airflow & Dusting: Unplug the unit every 1 to 2 months and inspect the lower compressor ventilation compartment. In busy commercial kitchens, airborne grease, flour, and dust settle onto the condenser fins, restricting airflow and forcing the compressor to run hotter and consume excess electricity. Vacuum or gently brush the condenser fins with a soft brush attachment.

6. Drainage Clearance: Check the internal condensate drain channel during routine cleaning to ensure it remains clear of loose food crumbs and packaging debris.

7. Electrical Safety: Never wash down the workbench fridge with a commercial pre-rinse hose or high-pressure spray gun, and ensure wash water does not enter the digital controller housing or rear ventilation louvres.

Kitchen Placement & Operational Guidelines

The FED-X XGNS900B is engineered for cooklines, prep suites, plating stations, and back-bar passes:

1. Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The workbench fridge draws an economical 170W on standard single-phase 240V power and comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug. Connect directly into a dedicated commercial wall outlet. Avoid the use of domestic extension leads or double adaptors.

2. Solid Floor Positioning & Level Alignment: Place the 81 kg unit (exceeding 140 kg when fully stocked with food pans) on a flat, level, and solid commercial kitchen floor. Adjust the levelling feet until the unit sits completely level and plumb, ensuring both self-closing doors seal squarely without thermal leaks.

3. Flush Wall Installation: The engineered airflow system allows the back of the cabinet to be placed directly against kitchen walls, conserving vital aisle space. Ensure the lower front ventilation grilles remain unobstructed by floor clutter or storage bins.

4. Thermal Separation & Direct Heat: While approved for ambient conditions up to +38°C, avoid placing the workbench fridge directly adjacent to unshielded high-heat cooking equipment (such as open charbroilers, deep fryers, or high-temperature ranges) without a thermal heat barrier. Radiant heat warms the cabinet exterior and forces the refrigeration system to cycle continuously.

5. Pre-Chilled Stock Loading Protocol (Standard 3.2.2 Compliance): In accordance with Australian Commercial Food Safety Standards, commercial underbench refrigerators are holding units designed to maintain safe product temperatures (+2°C to +8°C).All ingredients must be pre-chilled before loading into the cabinet. Never use the unit to pull down large volumes of steaming hot, freshly cooked food.

6. Pan Loading Guidelines: Position GN 1/1 pans evenly along the internal slides, leaving adequate gap spacing for internal air circulation. Avoid overloading pans beyond the rim to ensure cold air circulates freely around the food containers.
