Upright units are large capacity domestic appliances for
freezing, storing and refrigerating any types of food.

The load-bearing STRUCTURE has been fabricated in
steel panels which have been treated and electrostati­cally painted to resist mistreatment and to ensure that
its “new” look remains unaltered over time.

The INSULATION MATERIALS have been specially
selected to ensure that the INTERNAL temperature
remains constant and to provide maximum storage
space.

The internal STORAGE SPACE has been designed to
store any type of food thanks to the easily removable
shelves.
