Anvil FBFG2204 Undercounter Glass Door Freezer 170L

The Anvil FBFG2204 is an undercounter glass door freezer, 170 litres gross and 145 litres net, with a triple-glazed door and a climate class 4 rating to a 30 °C ambient. Two things to know before you order, both stated by the manufacturer and both easy to miss: it requires manual defrosting, and the glass door has no internal light.

Why operators choose the ICE-FBFG2204

• MANUAL defrost required — the manufacturer states it plainly. A freezer that is not defrosted on schedule ices up, loses capacity and works harder - so this needs to be somebody's job, written into the cleaning roster
• Triple glazed - but NO internal light — the triple glazing is what stops a glass freezer door frosting and sweating. The absence of a light is unusual on a glass-door cabinet and worth knowing if you intended it as a display unit rather than storage
• Climate class 4, 30 degrees C ambient — a defined climate class rather than a bare number, so it can be compared against other cabinets on the same standard
• R290 refrigerant — a low-GWP hydrocarbon - the direction refrigeration is moving, and relevant to future servicing
• Dixell digital control — a controller brand technicians know and carry parts for
• 2 fixed shelves — fixed, not adjustable - so plan for what will actually fit. The FBC2201 fridge in the same cabinet has three adjustable shelves
• Door lock standard — included rather than an option
• Adjustable feet at front, rollers at rear — level at the front, roll out from the back for cleaning
• 170 L gross / 145 L net in an undercounter footprint — the net figure is the one to plan against - it accounts for the shelving and the internal step

Specifications

Venue suitability

The FBFG2204 suits bars, cafes and kitchens needing frozen storage at the point of use, and particularly anywhere the contents should be visible without opening the door. Bear in mind the manual defrost requirement and the absence of an internal light before specifying it as a display freezer.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 10 A power point, so no electrical work is required. It is an undercounter unit at 598 x 679 x 838 mm — check the bench aperture and allow airflow, because a freezer sealed into a cabinet cannot reject heat. Build the manual defrost into your cleaning schedule from day one; on a glass-door freezer, ice build-up is visible to customers as well as costly. Level on the front feet, roll out on the rear rollers. Our data records a 2.15 kW figure that looks high for a cabinet this size — see the FAQ — so confirm the load with our team if you are calculating a circuit. No weight is recorded.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does it defrost itself?

No. The manufacturer states that manual defrost is required. That means someone has to empty it, switch it off and let the ice clear on a schedule - and if that does not happen, the cabinet ices up, loses usable capacity and runs harder. It is not a fault, it is the design, but it needs to be on the cleaning roster before you buy.

Q: Is there a light inside?

No - the source states 'Triple Glazed No Light'. That is unusual on a glass-door cabinet and it matters if you were planning to use it as a display freezer: the contents are visible, but not lit.

Q: How does it compare with the FBC2201 fridge?

Same cabinet size, different machine. The fridge has a solid stainless door, three adjustable shelves, automatic defrost and a 38 degrees C ambient rating. This freezer has a triple-glazed glass door with no light, two fixed shelves, manual defrost and a 30 degree ambient rating. If you are buying both, the defrost difference is the one that changes your routine.

Q: What power does it need?

Our record says 2.15 kW at 240 V. We are publishing it as recorded, but it is worth flagging: that is high for a 170 litre undercounter cabinet, and its FBC2201 fridge sibling in the same cabinet records 0.37 kW. We have flagged the figure for checking - confirm the load with our team before sizing a circuit rather than working from this page.

Q: What does climate class 4 mean?

It is a standardised rating for the ambient conditions a cabinet is tested to hold its temperature in - class 4 corresponds to the 30 degrees C ambient stated here. The value of a climate class over a bare number is that it lets you compare cabinets on the same test.

Q: What warranty does the ICE-FBFG2204 come with?

Covered for 12 months. Our records state the duration but not whether labour is included, so confirm the exact cover with our team before ordering rather than assuming it. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
