Summit Commercial Reach-In Refrigerator Description:
Summit Commercial’s line of reach-in refrigeration features durable construction built to NSF-7 commercial standards.
Made in South Korea, the Summit SCRR232LH Commercial 23 cu.ft. Reach-In Refrigerator is a commercial all-refrigerator with a complete stainless steel cabinet. The stainless steel door features a self-closing design to help protect stored contents in busy commercial settings where customers may not take the time to make sure the door is closed. It will remain open when pushed to 90º, making it easier to load and unload the unit. The sealed back design helps to simplify cleanup. This unit features a factory-installed lock located towards the top of the door for convenient security. We include a set of locking casters for optional installation. The door has a left hand swing. For the same unit with the door opening from the other side, see the SCRR232.
The Summit SCRR232LH Commercial 23 cu.ft. Reach-In Refrigerator features a large 23 cu.ft. interior constructed from stainless steel for easy cleanup and lasting durability. The cantilevered shelving system allows you to adjust the four vinyl-coated shelves to virtually any position, making it easy to accommodate any sized item. This unit is designed to fit common commercial baking trays. The LED lighting offers an energy efficient display when the door is opened. This unit utilizes adjustable cycle defrost operation to avoid temperature spikes, with a top-mounted forced air cooling system to ensure rapid temperature recovery.
To ensure optimum storage conditions, the Summit SCRR232LH Commercial 23 cu.ft. Reach-In Refrigerator is equipped with a microprocessor temperature controller that makes it easy for staff to adjust the temperature. The large digital LED readout displays the current and high/low temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit. An audible and visual temperature alarm sounds if the unit rises or falls above a user-set range. Additional alarms include a power failure alert, door open alarm, and a condenser cleaning reminder.
Designed with hydrocarbon refrigerant, the SCRR232LH provides an energy efficient solution to large capacity storage. It is ETL-S listed to NSF-7 commercial standards. For a matching frost-free freezer, see the SCFF237. A glass door refrigerator version is also available (model SCR23SSG).

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Lead times depend on stock and destination; when in stock, dispatch is often within 1-2 business days.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is possible. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and Goods & Services Tax (GST)
• Site access: check doorway width, corridor / elevator clearance, floor-loading capacity for palletized unit (~128 kg)
• Electrical compatibility: This model is specified for 115 V AC/60 Hz (US version) — for Australian (230 V/50 Hz) installations ensure correct variant or step-down transformer and compatible plug type.

The unit ships palletized with protective packaging. Approx. unpacked footprint: ~213 cm H × ~70 cm W × ~79 cm D; allow ~144 cm depth for door open clearance. Delivery site should have a firm, level surface, sufficient entry clearance and handling equipment (pallet jack / lift) if needed.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
Upon delivery inspect packaging and unit for visible damage or delayed transit. If damage is found: photograph the condition, retain packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the SCRR232LH?
1. Position the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled space. Allow clearance behind and above for ventilation, and ensure door swing clearance (~144 cm) is unobstructed.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the specification (115 V AC/60 Hz). For Australian installation, confirm correct variant or use a suitable transformer and verify plug/voltage compliance.
3. Plug in and power on the unit. Set the digital thermostat/controller to your desired refrigeration temperature and allow several hours for internal temperature stabilization before loading full contents.
4. Verify that the self-closing door works, the digital controller and alarms function properly, shelving is correctly placed, and air circulation is unobstructed.
What best practices should I follow when using this reach-in refrigerator?
• Load items evenly and avoid over-packing or blocking interior shelving to maintain uniform cooling.
• Minimize door open time; use the self-closing door benefit to maintain stable temperatures.
• Label stored items, implement stock rotation (FIFO) if relevant, and ensure cleanliness of interior surfaces and door gaskets/seals.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature rises above or falls below your set range, or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature, items impacted.
• Immediately relocate critical contents to validated backup refrigeration if needed.
• Investigate the cause (door left open, high ambient heat load, sensor/power fault).
• After the unit returns to stable operating temperatures and internal conditions are within range, verify contents’ integrity before returning them to routine storage.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/handle/lock mechanism and ensure the unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean condenser/coils (if accessible), clear ventilation paths and ensure fan airflow is unobstructed; remove dust build-up.
• Periodically: Test digital controller, alarms and display read-outs, maintain internal logs of temperatures and any alarm or maintenance events.
