The Thermaster PA3100TNC 580L 6-Solid Door Pass-Through Refrigerated Central Worktop Counter is an industrial-grade island preparation station engineered specifically for high-volume Australian commercial kitchens, bakeries, pastry kitchens, hotels, catering venues, and busy restaurant cook lines. Sized at an expansive 2020mm Wide x 800mm Deep x 860mm High, this specialized pass-through refrigerated workbench features dual-sided door access (3 solid doors per side / 6 doors total), designed to sit centrally in prep zones so chefs, bakers, and plating staff working on opposite sides can retrieve stocked ingredients simultaneously without disrupting kitchen traffic flow.
Constructed entirely from premium AISI 304 food-grade stainless steel inside and out, the PA3100TNC features internal rack guide spacing engineered specifically to hold 400x600mm bakery trays, pastry pans, and shelves. Powered by an eco-friendly HC-free ventilated refrigeration system, it delivers uniform cold airflow across its generous 580-litre capacity, holding precise storage temperatures between +2°C and +8°C even in harsh tropical ambient environments up to +40°C. Operating on a standard single-phase 10 Amp plug-and-play supply (300W), it is backed by a 2-Year Parts and Labour + 2-Year Parts Only Warranty (upon product registration within 14 days of invoice).

Operation & Maintenance Guidelines
-
Unpacking & Placement: Position the island workbench on a flat, level floor in the centre of your kitchen prep zone. Ensure sufficient clearance for doors to open fully from both sides. Plug into a dedicated 240V 10A wall outlet and allow the compressor to run empty for 2 hours until the digital controller confirms target temperature (+2°C to +8°C).
-
Tray Loading & Workflow: Slide 400x600mm bakery pans or food containers directly onto internal racking guides. Distribute items evenly to preserve optimal ventilated air movement across all six door bays.
-
Daily Hygiene & Maintenance: Wipe stainless steel worktop surfaces, coved internal edges, and magnetic door gaskets daily using warm water and a food-safe sanitiser. Check that the automatic condensation tray is draining freely and replace magnetic door seals if worn or damaged.
