Thermaster Two Door Stainless Steel Bar Cooler SC248SG

The Thermaster SC248SG is a two-door stainless steel bar cooler built for pubs, cocktail bars, clubs, and cafés that want a premium-finish drink fridge front-of-house. 202 litres of gross capacity, a 2–8 °C operating range, Zanussi compressor cooling, and lockable self-closing doors make this a working-end-of-service cooler — not a domestic-grade compromise. Auto defrost, adjustable shelves, and digital temperature control round out a unit built for back-to-back service.

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suited to bars, pubs, clubs, cocktail venues, and premium cafés where the bar cooler is visible to customers and the stainless finish matters. The 10 A standard plug means no electrical works for most installs — plug in and go.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the SC248SG run on standard Australian power? A: Yes — 240 V, 112 W, 10 A. It plugs into a standard Australian GPO, no special electrical install required. Total draw is modest for a commercial cooler.

Q: How much stock does it hold? A: 202 litres gross, 133 litres net across two shelving levels plus the floor, with fully adjustable shelves. Reconfigure for tall bottles, standard cans, or mixed stock.

Q: How much clearance do I need behind and above? A: Thermaster specify 100 mm wall clearance for ventilation. Keep the vents clear so the compressor can breathe — blocking airflow will shorten compressor life and reduce cooling performance in warm ambient temperatures.

Q: Does the door lock? A: Yes — each door has a lock and is self-closing. Useful for overnight security in venues where the bar cooler stays on the floor after hours.

Q: What's the warranty? A: 2 years parts + labour, with an additional 2 years parts-only cover if you register the product within 14 days of invoice. Four years of coverage on a commercial bar cooler is well above the category average.

Q: How does this compare to a colourbond-finish Thermaster drink fridge? A: The SC248SG's stainless steel exterior is the premium finish — it's built for front-of-house bar positions where the cooler is visible to customers. For back-of-house or warehouse positions where finish doesn't matter, the colourbond LG-series units cost less. Both use the same Zanussi compressor platform.
