Skope RF8.CBR.2.D4 ReFlex ChefBase

Skope RF8.CBR.2.D4 ReFlex ChefBase 4-Drawer Refrigerated Chef Base GN 2/1

The Skope RF8.CBR.2.D4 ReFlex ChefBase is a self-contained refrigerated chef base designed to sit directly beneath your cookline, placing cold ingredient storage exactly where it is needed most. Built entirely from food-grade 304 AISI stainless steel inside and out, the unit houses four fully extendable, individually lockable drawers sized for GN 2/1 pans up to 100 mm deep, all within a 371-litre gross capacity occupying a floor footprint of just 1.50 m². The reinforced stainless steel benchtop features a welded no-drip marine edge and supports up to 400 kg of cooking equipment, while a 45 mm thick fibro-cement heat shield — integrated within the 304 AISI stainless steel structure — insulates the refrigerated interior from the heat generated above.

Refrigeration is delivered by a side-mounted, front-breathing condensing unit using R290 natural refrigerant (100 g charge), keeping environmental impact and running costs to a minimum at a GEMS-rated $482 per annum. The unit is controlled via the SCS Connect controller, which is fully compatible with the SKOPE-connect Bluetooth app. SKOPE-connect provides real-time food safety alerts and automated temperature logging, along with one-touch temperature presets spanning seven storage categories: general food safety, fresh seafood, live seafood, chocolate, drinks, dairy, and desserts. Rated for ambient temperatures up to 40°C, the ReFlex ChefBase suits restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs, quick service restaurants, food production facilities, accommodation venues, schools, and aged care kitchens.
