Horizontal Display Fridge VF1000 with Curved Glass – Cold Cuts, Dairy & Vacuum-Packed Meat, 250 × 90 × 125 cm, +2/+8 °C, Static Cooling

At 250 cm, the VF1000 allows clear category organisation within the section — cold cuts, cheeses, vacuum-packed products — all within the same cabinet and at the same temperature. At this length, it is worth thinking not only about how much product fits, but also about the order in which it is arranged.

The curved glass: what it changes at the shelf

The curved front in toughened glass is not merely an aesthetic choice. The curve opens the viewing angle: a customer walking along the aisle sees the front-row products both from above and from the side, not just head-on. In a cold cuts section, where purchase decisions are made on the move, this matters. Moreover, the continuous surface with no edges in the line of sight gives the cabinet the classic deli-counter look, instantly recognisable to any shopper.

If you prefer a flat front — easier to wipe at eye level and with a more contemporary look — the same cabinet is available as VF1000D, identical in every other respect.

What you can and cannot display

• Cold cuts, salamis, ham, processed meat products, whole or sliced
• Packaged cheeses and dairy products
• Vacuum-packed or pre-packaged meat
• Packaged products stored at +2/+8 °C

Not intended for unwrapped fresh meat, minced meat, offal, unpackaged poultry, fish on ice, or frozen products. These require humidity control and lower temperature thresholds. For those applications, request a quote for a butcher shop display fridge.

Static cooling with no fan in the cabinet

The cold air produced by the evaporator is denser than warm air: it sinks over the products, warms up, and rises back towards the evaporator. The cycle closes by itself through natural convection, maintaining a uniform temperature throughout the cabinet. There is no fan in the display space — the only fan in the unit cools the refrigeration unit's condenser. This is what makes the cabinet quiet and ensures that sliced cold cuts and cheeses are not exposed to a continuous airflow that would dry out their surfaces.

The digital thermostat permanently displays the internal temperature and controls the refrigeration unit's cycles. Defrosting is automatic and static, requiring no staff intervention and no electric defrost heater.

The under-cabinet storage compartment

Below the display area, the cabinet has a storage compartment measuring 244 × 55 × 25 cm — essentially the same footprint as the display area, 6 cm shorter. On the 250 cm model, access is through 2 doors. This is where you keep stock for the current shift: you can restock the display in seconds, without a trip to the storeroom and without leaving the counter unattended.

Materials and features

• Food-grade stainless steel interior — chemically neutral, no taste or odour transfer, resistant to professional cleaning agents, with a smooth surface that does not trap residues.
• Toughened curved glass front, also acting as a thermal barrier.
• 20 cm deep interior shelf for sliced and portioned products, raising part of the display into the customer's line of sight.
• LED lighting with accurate colour rendering for food products, low energy consumption, and no heat input into the cabinet.
• Integrated refrigeration unit with R290 refrigerant — plugs into a standard socket, no separate refrigeration installation required.
• Adjustable feet — for levelling on uneven floors and raising the unit by approximately 5 cm.

Dimensions and placement

• Length: 250 cm · Width: 90 cm · Height: 125 cm (adjustable up to ~130 cm)
• Usable display depth: 55 cm
• Storage compartment: 244 × 55 × 25 cm, 2 access doors
• Power supply: 220–240 V / 50 Hz, single-phase earthed socket · Energy class C

Leave a minimum of 10 cm clear at the rear and sides for condenser ventilation. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in the airflow from an entrance door or air conditioning unit — these are the most common causes of continuous-cycle operation in summer.

Installation and maintenance

The cabinet is delivered ready to use. After transport, leave it upright for a few hours before first switch-on to allow the compressor oil to settle, then level it using the adjustable feet. Routine maintenance consists of cleaning with neutral detergents, periodic inspection of the condenser, and checking the defrost water drain. Full instructions.

The rest of the range

The VF1000 is manufactured in lengths from 100 to 400 cm, with the same 90 cm width and the same adjustable height. The number of access doors to the storage compartment follows the length: 1 door from 100 to 150 cm, 2 doors from 170 to 250 cm, 3 doors from 300 to 350 cm, and 4 doors at 400 cm. See the full VF1000 range or the flat-glass version, VF1000D.

Weight, warranty and delivery

The cabinet weighs approximately 150 kg, so unloading and positioning in the store requires two people. Check the access route in advance: door widths, any thresholds, and, if applicable, manoeuvring space at corners.

12-month warranty. If a fault occurs during the warranty period, we dispatch the replacement part directly to the buyer so that the cabinet can be returned to service quickly, without shipping the unit to a service centre. Full terms are set out in the warranty terms and conditions.
