True TRCB-48-HC - 2 Drawer Refrigerated Chef Base 1227mm

True TRCB-48-HC - 2 Drawer Refrigerated Chef Base 1227mm

Put a 1.2 metre griddle or grill on top of the True TRCB-48-HC and your cook has two refrigerated drawers of mise en place right below the cooking surface. Each drawer holds two full-size 1/1 GN pans, so the whole base takes four, with 52 litres net and 252 litres gross inside. It runs 0.5°C to 3.3°C, is Climate Class 5 certified for 40°C kitchens and has a 5-star energy rating (True's price list). Compared with the 924 mm TRCB-36-HC it trades the 1/6 pan inserts for a second full-size pan in each drawer.

Common questions:

Can I fit a bigger pan in the drawer?
No. True moulds these drawers specifically for 1/1 GN pans, which strengthens the drawer, so even if the space looks larger, use 1/1 GN pans up to 100 mm deep. Pans are sold separately.

How much energy does it use?
True rates it at 2.235 kWh per 24 hours (816 kWh a year), with a 5-star energy rating (True's price list).

Do you install it?
We supply the equipment only. The chef base runs on single-phase power with a 2.13 m cord, and the cooking equipment you put on top must be connected by a licensed gas fitter or electrician.
