Key Features & Benefits
-
Versatile 198-Liter Storage Capacity: Thoughtfully designed internal cabinet space accommodates bulk purchases of meats, poultry, seafood, frozen vegetables, and family meal prep without cluttering floor space.
-
D-Type Evaporator & Rapid Sub-Zero Pull-Down: Features D-shaped cooling coils that maximize surface contact with the inner walls, accelerating thermal pull-down ($\le -18^\circ\text{C}$) to lock in nutrition, natural flavors, and food quality.
-
Up to 100 Hours Sub-Zero Cold Retention: High-density, extra-thick polyurethane foam insulation traps cold air inside, preserving stored perishables safely frozen for up to 4 full days during prolonged grid blackouts.
-
Wide Voltage Operation (140V–260V): Built-in low-voltage starter technology enables smooth compressor startup and steady cooling during severe grid power drops without requiring an external voltage stabilizer.
-
Generator & Solar Inverter Compatible: Soft-start low-surge motor technology minimizes startup current spikes, allowing seamless plug-and-play operation on small 1.5kVA+ fuel generators and residential inverter-solar systems.
-
Eco-Friendly R600a Refrigerant: Uses energy-efficient R600a hydrocarbon refrigerant for faster heat transfer, quieter compressor performance, and reduced daily power draw.
-
Tropicalized Anti-Rust Casing & Safety: Pre-coated PCM metallic exterior resists high ambient heat, humidity, and coastal oxidation, complete with a removable wire storage basket, soft interior LED lighting, and an integrated door lock with key.
