Royal Catering RC-BC004 (Black, 458L)

What is the exact capacity and how many bottles can it hold?

The RC-BC004 offers 458 litres of storage capacity across 10 adjustable glass shelves. Bottle capacity varies depending on size - typically accommodating 200-300 standard 330ml bottles or 150-200 wine bottles. Each shelf supports up to 30kg, allowing flexible arrangement of different beverage types and sizes to maximise storage efficiency.

How does the temperature control system work?

The unit features a digital thermostat with precise temperature control ranging from 2-10°C. The compressor-based cooling system maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cabinet, while the frost-free design prevents ice buildup. Temperature adjustments are made via the digital display panel, allowing fine-tuning for different beverage requirements.

Are the doors lockable and what security features are included?

Yes, both double doors feature a key-lock security system with two keys provided - one primary key and one spare. The doors automatically close to maintain temperature and can be securely locked to prevent unauthorised access. This makes it ideal for commercial environments where inventory protection is essential.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit through standard doorways?

The cooler measures 90.5cm wide, 56cm deep and 180cm tall. At 90.5cm width, it will fit through most standard commercial doorways (typically 80-90cm). However, measure your installation space carefully, including ceiling height and pathway access, as the 180cm height may present challenges in some locations.

How much electricity does this unit consume?

The RC-BC004 operates at 295 watts power consumption. Running continuously, this equates to approximately 7.08 kWh per day. At average UK electricity rates of 30p per kWh, daily running costs are around £2.12. The efficient compressor system and double-walled glass doors help minimise energy consumption while maintaining optimal temperatures.

Can the shelves be adjusted or removed completely?

The 10 glass shelves are adjustable to accommodate different bottle heights and storage requirements. Each shelf measures 38.8cm x 35cm and can be repositioned or removed entirely if needed. This flexibility allows customisation for various beverage types, from tall bottles to shorter cans, maximising storage efficiency.

What type of refrigerant does it use and is it environmentally friendly?

The unit uses R600a refrigerant, which is an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and minimal global warming impact. R600a is highly efficient, contributing to lower energy consumption compared to traditional refrigerants, making this cooler both eco-conscious and cost-effective to operate.

What maintenance is required and how often?

The frost-free system eliminates manual defrosting requirements. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the glass doors, wiping down shelves and ensuring proper ventilation around the unit. The LED lighting system requires minimal maintenance due to long bulb life. Clean the condenser coils quarterly and check door seals periodically to maintain optimal efficiency and temperature control.
