The Thermaster GN3100TNC 2x3 Solid Door Pass-Through Refrigerated Island Counter is an elite, double-sided commercial prep bench refrigerator engineered specifically for high-volume Australian commercial kitchens, central prep islands, catering operations, and fast-paced plating lines. Featuring solid doors on both the front and rear faces, this innovative 1795mm wide pass-through island counter allows kitchen and plating teams positioned on opposite sides of the bench to access the same chilled stock simultaneously—eliminating unnecessary steps and accelerating kitchen service workflows.
Constructed entirely from premium AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel inside and out, the GN3100TNC offers an expanded 324-litre gross storage volume sized specifically to fit standard GN 1/1 gastronorm pans. Engineered to withstand tough Australian kitchen environments (rated for high ambient conditions up to +40°C / 40% RH), it maintains a versatile holding temperature range of -2°C to +8°C. Driven by a ventilated air circulation system, it includes 60mm high-density HC-free insulation, tool-free magnetic door gaskets, heated door frames to eliminate condensation, automatic defrosting, and auto-evaporation drainage. Operating on a standard single-phase 10 Amp power supply (300W), it is backed by up to 4 years of total warranty coverage upon online product registration.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines
-
Placement & Setup: Position the island counter on a flat, level central floor space. Plug into a dedicated 240V 10A wall outlet and allow the cabinet to pull down to set target temperature (-2°C to +8°C) before loading GN 1/1 food pans.
-
Stock Loading & Workflow: Arrange pre-chilled ingredients inside GN 1/1 pans or on internal wire shelves, ensuring stock is accessible from both front and rear doors without blocking internal fan air vents.
-
Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: Wipe down the AISI 304 stainless steel benchtop and internal surfaces using a warm water solution and mild food-safe sanitiser. Unclip and clean magnetic door gaskets regularly to maintain a tight thermal seal.
