Mondial Elite 1 Door 380Ltr Upright Cabinet Fridge White KICPR40LT

The Mondial Elite KICPR40LT is a single-door upright refrigeration cabinet finished in white, designed for general-purpose food storage in commercial kitchens. It holds a net usable volume of 275 litres across five shelves, keeping contents at a consistent chill temperature suited to dairy, cooked products, raw ingredients, and prepared items. The cabinet uses R600a refrigerant, which carries a lower global warming potential than older refrigerants — a consideration for operators mindful of environmental compliance.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of cabinet performs reliably during routine service periods where a steady, accessible cold store is needed alongside other refrigeration. The unit is well suited to kitchens where space is at a premium but a dedicated upright fridge is still required — small restaurants, café kitchens, staff canteens, and similar operations. It is not a high-volume blast-chill or pass-through unit; it is a practical, everyday cold store that keeps product at safe holding temperatures through a full service shift.

From an operational standpoint, the cabinet offers a number of practical advantages:

• Full-height single door gives clear access to all five shelf levels without disrupting adjacent storage
• White finish is easy to wipe down and keep visually clean during kitchen inspections
• R600a refrigerant supports lower running costs relative to older refrigerant systems
• Five adjustable shelves allow flexible storage layout for trays, gastronorm containers, and bulk product
• Upright cabinet format maximises usable storage within a compact floor footprint

Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. The cabinet runs on a standard single-phase supply and requires adequate clearance at the rear and top for ventilation — restricting airflow will affect performance and longevity. At 79kg, it can typically be manoeuvred into position by two people, though access routes and kitchen thresholds should be checked before delivery. The cabinet is rated to climate class 4, meaning it is designed to operate in ambient kitchen temperatures up to 43°C, which is relevant for kitchens without air conditioning.

This cabinet is best suited to smaller operations — a café, small restaurant, or prep kitchen — where a single reliable cold store covers day-to-day needs. For sites running a higher volume of covers, or where multiple product categories need segregated storage simultaneously, a wider two-door cabinet or a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering. Similarly, if the installation environment runs particularly warm, it is worth discussing ambient conditions before committing to a unit.
