Williams Quartz Star HQS1SSHC - 1 Door Stainless Steel Upright Storage Fridge 740mm 500L

Williams Quartz Star HQS1SSHC - 1 Door Stainless Steel Upright Storage Fridge 740mm 500L

For a commercial kitchen that wants a tough, easy-to-clean 500 litre upright, the Williams Quartz Star HQS1SSHC pairs a stainless steel interior and exterior with a solid door and a 43°C ambient rating. It is made in Australia, holds +1°C to +4°C, runs on R290 refrigerant from a 10 amp plug and keeps its refrigeration system in a removable cassette under the cabinet. Compared with the white Colorbond HQS1SWHC it is the same fridge in a finish that suits open kitchens and health inspections; compared with the glass door HQS1GSHC it gives up the display lighting for a higher room temperature rating.

• Stainless steel interior and exterior (excluding rear and underside), stainless steel internal floor
• Solid insulated door, right-hand hinged as standard
• Rated for kitchens up to 43°C
• 500 litres of storage with 4 adjustable plastic-coated shelves on strips and clips

Common questions:

Will it take gastronorm pans?
The Quartz Star is a general-purpose upright with plastic-coated wire shelves rather than GN tray slides. If you need a cabinet built around 2/1 GN pans, look at the Williams Garnet HG1SSHC.

Does it have a light inside?
Not as standard. Williams fits lighting to the glass door models only. Ask us if you need a light added to a solid door cabinet.

Can I use it at home?
No. Williams builds these cabinets for commercial use and does not warrant them for domestic applications.
