FED-X S/S Six-Door Bench Fridge with Drawers - XUB7C18S3D

The FED-X XUB7C18S3D is a premium stainless steel under-bench fridge configured with six heavy-duty GN1/2 drawers — designed for cook-lines, prep stations, and sandwich sections where fast drawer access beats swing-door fridges for speed of service. Tropicalised for Australian conditions and running on R290 natural refrigerant, the XUB7C18S3D pairs commercial-grade components (Embraco/Secop compressor, Dixell controller, Ebm-papst fans) with a generous 417 L of chilled storage in a single-piece 1795 mm footprint.

Specifications

Venue suitability

Built for restaurants, pubs, sandwich shops, cook-chill kitchens, and catering venues running a cook-line or prep section where fast drawer access beats a swing-door fridge. The GN1/2 drawer format fits standard gastronorm pans and insert runners for line-cook efficiency.

Installation notes

Plugs into a standard 10 A outlet. Requires 50–100 mm clearance above for condenser venting (rear-wall mount is fine; the unit is rated to sit flush against a wall). Allow floor clearance for drawer runners to fully extend.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How is this different from a standard under-bench fridge? A: Drawers replace swing doors. Cooks on a busy line pull a drawer open with one hand (no full door swing, no loss of space in front of the unit), and GN1/2 pans drop straight in. It's a faster service pattern for prep-heavy sections.

Q: Does it run on standard Australian power? A: Yes — 10 A plug, 240 V, 230 W, 1.3 A draw. No special circuit or electrician required for a standard retrofit install.

Q: What does "tropicalised" mean? A: The unit is rated to run in up to 43 °C ambient at 60% relative humidity — covering hot Australian kitchens, rooftop installs, and non-air-conditioned service areas. Non-tropicalised fridges often de-rate above 32 °C.

Q: What refrigerant does it use? A: R290 (propane) — a natural refrigerant with very low global warming potential. It's the industry standard for new commercial fridges and isn't affected by the HFC phase-down schedule.

Q: How deep do the drawers open? A: Each GN1/2 drawer is full-extension style, giving you access to the back of the pan without awkward reaching. Internal depth is 580 mm.

Q: What's the warranty? A: 2 years parts and labour as standard, plus 2 years parts-only when you register within 14 days of invoice. Parts supported through our Granville NSW showroom.
