Part of Sterling Pro's Green hydrocarbon range, it uses a natural refrigerant in place of conventional HFC gases, which significantly reduces its environmental impact and brings meaningful energy savings over the working life of the unit. It is a European-manufactured product, which is reflected in the build quality and component selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a working kitchen, counter freezers need to hold stable temperatures reliably through the swings of a busy service — doors opening repeatedly, warm product being loaded, ambient temperatures rising with cooking equipment running nearby. The SNI-7-135-20 is designed with a heavy-duty forced-air circulation system that maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet, and it is rated to cope with higher ambient kitchen temperatures that would challenge lighter domestic or semi-commercial units. Auto defrost keeps the system running cleanly without manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical advantages for kitchen operators include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrocarbon refrigerant delivering significantly reduced energy consumption compared with standard HFC units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel interior and exterior for durability and straightforward cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmbossed rack supports in 304-grade stainless steel for stable, hygienic product storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-closing doors that help maintain cabinet temperature during busy service periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastors fitted as standard for easier cleaning access and repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs an undercounter unit, this freezer is designed to sit beneath a standard worktop and integrate into a kitchen's prep line. It requires a correctly rated electrical supply and adequate ventilation clearance around the condenser — positioning it tight against a wall or adjacent equipment without appropriate airflow will affect performance and longevity. The castors make it straightforward to pull out for cleaning or servicing. It is worth confirming your kitchen's ambient temperature range is within the unit's operating parameters before installation, particularly in kitchens where summer temperatures can climb significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens — café kitchens, pub catering operations, small restaurant prep areas, and similar environments where under-counter frozen storage is needed without committing to a full upright cabinet. For higher-volume sites with greater frozen storage demands, a larger-capacity upright or multi-door unit may be a more practical fit. Equally, for sites with very limited floor space, a single-door counter model from the same range may be worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this unit is the right match for your kitchen layout or service volume, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sterling Pro","offers":[{"title":"Yes - SNI-7-135-20-SB","offer_id":40295941668924,"sku":"SNI-7-135-20-SB","price":1405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"No - SNI-7-135-20-NS","offer_id":55270600114558,"sku":"SNI-7-135-20-NS","price":1405.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/sterling-pro-sni-7-135-20.jpg?v=1659439528"},{"product_id":"sterling-pro-green-sni-7-180-30-452-ltr-3-door-counter-freezer","title":"Sterling Pro Green SNI-7-180-30 452 Ltr 3 Door Counter Freezer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sterling Pro Green SNI-7-180-30 is a three-door undercounter freezer designed for busy commercial kitchens where reliable frozen storage at counter level is a practical necessity.
