Frequently Asked Questions

Williams Vari Temp Chefs Drawer VSWCD1 FAQs

Where do low fridges such as the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer fit in a catering kitchen?

The Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer is a low-height, space-saving counter refrigerator/freezer for professional operations needing fresh or frozen storage close to the cooking line. It is particularly useful in space-conscious pubs, steakhouses and catering facilities and can be positioned with many prime cooking stations.

What temperature ranges does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 offer?

The variable-temperature drawer can operate as either a refrigerator at +1 to +4°C or a freezer at -18 to -22°C. This lets a kitchen change its role as chilled or frozen storage requirements vary.

What capacity does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 provide?

The single drawer accommodates one GN 2/1 pan up to 150 mm deep, but the pan is not included. General cabinet capacity is 105Ltr, while the energy-related net volume is 47Ltr; these are different capacity measures and should not be treated as interchangeable.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1?

The unit measures 486 mm high, 1100 mm wide and 670 mm deep, with a net weight of 71kg. Its low silver cabinet is designed to place refrigerated or frozen drawer storage beneath or alongside a compatible cooking-line arrangement.

How is the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer cabinet constructed?

The exterior and interior are made from food-safe stainless steel. Magnetic balloon gaskets create a tight drawer seal, while precision-injected high-density polyurethane insulation supports thermal performance and has low global-warming potential and zero ozone-depletion potential.

Is the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 mobile?

Yes. It is mounted on heavy-duty, non-marking swivel castors with brakes, allowing controlled repositioning for access or cleaning around the equipment. Apply the brakes once the drawer is in its operating position.

What controller does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 use?

The unit uses a CoolSmart controller to manage its refrigeration or freezer operation. This supports its variable-temperature function, allowing the same drawer to be configured for chilled or frozen storage.

Which refrigerant and insulation technology does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer use?

The VSWCD1 uses natural R290 refrigerant with a GWP of 3. Its high-density polyurethane insulation has low global-warming potential and zero ozone-depletion potential, supporting efficient insulation alongside the hydrocarbon refrigeration system.

What electrical connection does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 require?

The drawer uses a 230V, 50Hz, single-phase supply with a 13 A fuse and comes with a plug fitted. Electrical data for the VSWCD1 gives 10.4 A at start-up and 1.89 A while running.

How energy efficient is the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1?

The VSWCD1 has Energy Rating: D, an Energy Efficiency Index of 65.5 and consumption of 4.77kWh per 24 hours, equivalent to 1741kWh annually. The 24-hour result is based on the EN 16825 test method.

How noisy is the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1, and how does it defrost?

The VSWCD1 has a noise level of 41 dBA and uses automatic hot-gas defrost. Heat rejection is 362 W under the associated test conditions.

How is the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 designed for servicing and leak control?

Its built-in refrigeration system is arranged for straightforward service access. The product also undergoes high-performance helium leak testing, which supports quality control of the refrigeration circuit.

Can the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 be stacked?

Yes. The VSWCD1 supports stacking to create a convenient refrigerator and freezer combination. A compatible stacking kit is an optional item, so it should be selected separately when planning a stacked arrangement.

What warranty comes with the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1?

The Williams VSWCD1 Chef's Drawer includes a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

How can I identify the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 when ordering?

This Williams Chef's Drawer has Smart UK SKU FW695, supplier reference VSWCD1 and model number VSWCD1 HC R2. It is a professional low-height counter fridge/freezer drawer.

Does the Williams Vari Temp Chef's Drawer VSWCD1 need ventilation?

Yes. The refrigeration equipment requires adequate ventilation for effective and efficient performance. Its low-level placement should therefore allow suitable airflow around the refrigeration system rather than enclosing its ventilation areas.
