FED-X XPZ2600TN 2-Door Saladette 390L | 43°C Tropical 5-Star GEMS

[GLOBAL_MSG]

The FED-X XPZ2600TN Commercial Two Door Stainless Steel Standard Saladette on Castors (390 Litre Gross / 300 Litre Net Capacity) is a high-performance refrigerated preparation counter engineered specifically for Australian sandwich bars, pizzerias, cafes, burger venues, salad bars, and busy commercial kitchen pass lines. Measuring 1510 mm Wide x 800 mm Deep x 990 mm High and weighing a solid 257 kg, this heavy-duty two-door refrigerated prep bench is fully tropicalised to maintain precise food-safe storage temperatures between -1°C and +5°C in extreme Australian ambient conditions up to 43°C and 60% relative humidity. Powered by premium European refrigeration components—including a high-efficiency Cubigel compressor, German-engineered EBM-Papst evaporator and condenser fan motors, and an intelligent Dixell digital microcomputer controller—the XPZ2600TN utilizes natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to achieve a 5-Star GEMS energy rating and 4M1 food-safe certification while consuming just 2.577 kWh/24h. Built from commercial food-grade stainless steel inside and out with hygienic rounded internal corners, two self-closing hinged solid doors with heavy-duty magnetic seals, reinforced internal shelves with a 40 kg weight loading per tier, and pre-fitted heavy-duty castors with front wheel brakes, this prep counter operates on a standard Australian single-phase 10A plug-and-play circuit.

Why Australian commercial hospitality venues, cafes, and salad bars choose the FED-X XPZ2600TN:

• High-efficiency 5-Star GEMS rating & 4M1 food-safe certification — officially certified for commercial energy performance and food safety, consuming an economical 2.577 kWh per 24 hours (215W power draw) to slash operating electricity overheads.

• Tropicalised for harsh Australian summer conditions (up to 43°C Ambient) — engineered to operate reliably in ambient room temperatures up to 43°C with 60% relative humidity, preventing temperature creep during busy service periods.

• Premium European refrigeration hardware — powered by an industry-leading Cubigel compressor paired with German EBM-Papst fan motors, ensuring continuous forced-air cooling and dependable mechanical longevity.

• Food-safe thermal range (-1°C to +5°C) — precise temperature regulation keeps sliced meats, cheeses, dairy, and freshly prepared toppings safely chilled below the Australian 5°C threshold.

• Rapid temperature recovery rate — high-velocity fan-forced refrigeration circulation pulls temperatures back down quickly after frequent door openings during peak lunch and dinner rushes.

• Natural and eco-friendly R290 refrigerant — utilizes non-toxic R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ODP and negligible GWP, reducing thermodynamic system strain while shrinking your kitchen's carbon footprint.

• Intelligent Dixell digital controller — renowned Italian Dixell microcomputer thermostat provides exact temperature control, automated defrost management, and an external digital LED display.

• Full commercial food-grade stainless steel build — heavy-gauge stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces resist food acids, cooking oils, and heavy service wear, featuring coved internal corners for fast sanitisation.

• Heavy-duty shelving with 40kg load rating — reinforced internal wire shelves and racking accommodate heavy Gastronorm containers and bulk prep tubs with a 40 kg weight rating per tier.

• Self-closing solid doors with magnetic seals — self-closing hinges prevent doors from lingering ajar during busy service, while heavy-duty push-in magnetic gaskets ensure an airtight thermal seal.

• Heavy-duty mobility castors pre-fitted — equipped with commercial swivel castors and front wheel brakes, allowing staff to roll the 257 kg counter out effortlessly for routine kitchen floor washdowns.

• Standard 10A Australian plug-and-play power — runs on standard single-phase 240V mains power via a pre-fitted 10 Amp plug, eliminating the need for costly 15A or three-phase electrical modifications.

• Up to 4-year warranty protection — backed by an Australian 2-Year parts and labour commercial warranty, extendable to an additional 2-Year parts-only warranty upon product registration within 14 days of invoice.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To preserve fan-forced cooling efficiency, extend compressor life, and maintain strict commercial kitchen hygiene:

1. Condenser Coil Cleaning (Every 2 to 4 Weeks): Kitchen flour dust, airborne grease mist, and lint collect on the condenser coil fins over time. Disconnect power to the unit, remove the front/side protective ventilation grille, and vacuum or gently brush the fins using a soft nylon bristle brush in the direction of the metal fins. Keeping the condenser clear prevents high head pressure, compressor overheating, and unexpected thermal cut-outs.

2. Interior Cavity & Coved Corner Sanitisation: The internal cabinet features seamless coved (rounded) internal corners to eliminate dirt-trapping angles. Remove internal shelves and side ladder racks monthly to wash down the stainless steel liner with warm water and a neutral, food-safe sanitiser. Dry thoroughly with a clean microfibre cloth.

3. Magnetic Door Gasket Maintenance: Inspect and wipe down the rubber push-in door seals weekly with warm soapy water to remove dried dressings, syrups, and crumbs. Keeping the gaskets clean and supple ensures an airtight seal, prevents cold air leakage that causes internal ice build-up, and reduces compressor workload.

4. Shelving & Internal Guide Maintenance: Wipe down the heavy-duty wire shelves and stainless steel ladder racks regularly with warm water and a non-abrasive commercial detergent. Ensure shelf clips are securely seated to maintain the 40 kg per tier load rating.

5. Drain Line & Evaporator Pan Checks: Check that the internal condensation drain line remains clear of dropped food scraps or plastic film. A clear drainage path ensures condensate flows freely into the self-evaporating hot-gas drain pan without pooling inside the storage cavity.

Commercial Kitchen Placement & Electrical Installation Guidelines

The FED-X XPZ2600TN is engineered for commercial prep line integration:

1. Electrical Infrastructure: Operates on standard Australian single-phase 240V 50Hz mains power drawing an economical 215W. Supplied with a factory-fitted 10 Amp plug and lead, allowing direct connection to any standard commercial 10A wall outlet without requiring 15A circuits or dedicated three-phase wiring.

2. Perimeter & Ventilation Clearances: With an external width of 1510 mm and depth of 800 mm, ensure the workspace allows unrestricted door opening. Maintain a minimum perimeter clearance of at least 100 mm at the rear and sides of the cabinet to ensure unrestricted intake and discharge of cooling air across the condenser.

3. Separation from Heat Cooking Equipment: Although tropicalised to perform in ambient temperatures up to 43°C, positioning the saladette away from direct radiant heat sources (such as open-flame chargrills, deep fryers, and combi ovens) will lower compressor running times and maximise energy efficiency.

4. Solid, Level Flooring & Castor Engagement: Roll the unit into position and engage the front castor locking brakes. Proper levelling ensures the self-closing door hinges swing smoothly and form an airtight magnetic seal against the cabinet face.

Freight, Packaging & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or forklift/loading dock facilities.
