Hoshizaki F1A-HGE 23.1 cu ft 1-Section Half Glass Door Reach-In Freezer

Product overview

The Hoshizaki F1A-HGE Steelheart reach-in freezer provides 23.1 cu. ft. of frozen storage in a one-section cabinet. Its 2 half-height doors let staff open the upper or lower storage area separately. Multi-pane glass keeps stored items visible before a door is opened.

3 epoxy-coated main shelves adjust in 1-inch increments on stainless steel supports. Interior LED lighting helps staff locate stored food, while the stainless steel interior and exterior front and sides support daily kitchen use. Top-mounted, self-contained refrigeration and automatic heated defrost keep the storage layout separate from the refrigeration components.

Specifications

Storage access and freezer controls

Stainless steel door frames and recessed aluminum handles surround the multi-pane, argon-filled glass. Door locks secure the cabinet, and the magnetic gaskets remove for cleaning. Keep food on the adjustable shelves rather than the cabinet floor, leaving the air passages open.

The ducted airflow system distributes cold air through the cabinet. A thermostatic expansion valve meters refrigerant flow, while the heated defrost system clears ice from the evaporator. Temperature and voltage alarms help staff identify conditions needing attention. The top-mounted condenser filter is accessible for routine maintenance.

Installation and electrical planning

Install indoors on a firm, level floor, away from ovens, grills and other heat-producing equipment. Allow at least 3 inches behind the cabinet. Keep ventilation openings and service access unobstructed, and check the complete delivery route and door swing before ordering.

Have a qualified installer verify the delivered-unit nameplate and provide an independent, properly grounded 115V circuit with a matching NEMA 5-15P receptacle. Do not use an extension cord. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle.

R290 is a flammable refrigerant. Follow the installation manual supplied with the unit for refrigerant-specific minimum room area and placement restrictions. Equipment with more than 114 g of R290 must not be installed in a public corridor or lobby. Keep ignition sources and heat-producing equipment away from the freezer.

Cleaning and maintenance

Move frozen food into another suitable freezer, switch the unit off and unplug it before cleaning. Clean the cabinet and removable door gaskets without damaging stainless steel surfaces or refrigerant tubing. Inspect the air filter at least twice a month and wash it with warm water and neutral cleaner when dirty. Inspect the condenser twice a year and clean it at least annually, or sooner when needed. Clean the condensate wick at least annually. Dusty environments may require more frequent maintenance; use qualified technicians for refrigeration service.
