REFRIGERATORS/FREEZERS Sun Frost has been building energy-efficient refrigerators for the past
25 years and is dedicated to building quality products that are
functional, esthetically pleasing, and built to last. The expected
life span of Sun Frost refrigerators is well over 25 years.
The Sun Frost refrigerator employs an array of innovations to achieve
its exceptionally low energy consumption. The cooling system on
the Sun Frost is top mounted, reducing energy consumption in several
ways. The heat generated by the compressor and condenser does not
reenter the refrigerator, and with a cooler-running condenser the
efficiency of the cooling system is increased.
There is no air circulation between the refrigerator and freezer
sections, unlike both manual and automatic defrost refrigerators.
This compartmental design reduces infiltration of warm kitchen air when
the doors are opened.
Excellent insulation also contributes to Sun Frost refrigerator energy
efficiency. The walls of the refrigerator contain 2.5 to 4.5
inches of polyurethane foam.
Sun Frost refrigerators eliminate condensation with waste heat from the
condenser and thus do not require the strip heaters normally found in
refrigerator door gasket areas. The efficiency of the cooling
system is further increased by eliminating the need for internal
circulating fans (Highly efficient fans are used on the F19 and RF19
models).
Elimination of strip heaters in the door's gasket area prevents
condensation under humid conditions.
Sun Frost refrigerators can run off AC or DC power. The
super-efficient Sun Frost refrigerator makes running a home with
alternative power sources both feasible and affordable.
In addition to the above energy-efficient qualities, Sun Frost
refrigerators offer high-humidity, food-saving storage, run quietly, and
clean easily.
A wide variety of custom laminates (standard laminate is white) and wood
veneers are available, as well as more than 100 colors, numerous
wood finishes, and stainless steel.

Sun Frost RF19, R19, and F19
These refrigerators and freezers are Sun Frost's largest models, and
all have two equal sized compartments.
The Sun Frost RF19 has two compartments; one compartment is a
refrigerator and the other a freezer. The RF19 can be ordered with the
freezer on the top or on the bottom. The freezer is twice as large as
the freezer in the RF16; however, the refrigerator compartment is
slightly smaller. The RF19 often eliminates the need to buy a separate
freezer. Like the RF16 this model is typically mounted on a 13-inch high
cabinet. The RF19 uses two quiet and highly efficient fans to cool the
exterior cooling coils.
The Sun Frost R19 is a refrigerator-only model with two
equal-sized refrigerator sections. It does not need defrosting and
incorporates a passive (no fans) cooling system. This model is also
Energy-Star qualified.
The Sun Frost F19 is the largest freezer-only unit. It has two
equal-sized compartments incorporating two independently controlled
cooling systems. One compartment may be turned off to conserve energy
when its storage space is not required. It uses the same fans as the
RF19 to cool its cooling coils. |
Also Energy-Star qualified, the Sun Frost RF16 is
an extremely efficient full-size refrigerator. It has two
independent cooling systems and temperature controls. In
fact, one compartment may be left running while the other is
shut off. The uniquely designed cooling coils on the outside
of the Sun Frost do not require fans. The Sun Frost RF16 may
be mounted on a 13-inch high cabinet for maximum
convenience. |

The Sun Frost RF12 is a single compressor
refrigerator freezer with a passive (no fans) cooling system. For
convenience it is typically mounted on a 24" high cabinet. The matching
cabinet made by Sun Frost has two large side-by-side drawers. This model
is also Energy-Star qualified. |
|
The Sun Frost R10 and F10 are the same
width & depth as our larger models but are shorter, and
for maximum convenience would require a higher base
cabinet. The R10 is a refrigerator-only unit and the F10
is a freezer-only unit.

Sun Frost RF4, R4, and F4 |
The Sun Frost RF4, R4, and F4 are Sun
Frost's smallest refrigerators and freezers. Like the R10 and F10, they
have the same width and depth as the larger units. The RF4 consists of a
refrigerator with an ice tray freezer section. The R4 is a
refrigerator-only unit, and the F4 is a freezer-only unit. For
convenience, these units would require a higher base cabinet, or they
could be placed on a countertop. Our 4 cubic foot models are also ideal
for use in bus conversions, boats and RVs. |

BASE CABINETS
Sun Frost recommends using a cabinet below
your Sun Frost refrigerator/ freezer to
elevate the refrigerator to a more
convenient height, while providing storage
room for dry goods. A cabinet 12” to 16”
high works well with the RF16 or RF19
models. For the RF12, a cabinet 18” to 24”
high is recommended. The 4 cubic foot and 10
cubic foot models can be placed on top of
existing cabinets, or at a height of about
36”.
Sun Frost offers 13” and 24” high cabinets
with two side-by-side sliding drawers, which
can be made in laminates or woods to match
your refrigerator. We also offer a 4” stand
for areas in which there is not enough
overhead space to install a full cabinet.
The 4" stand is open in the front and
creates a kick space under the refrigerator.
If you choose to build your own cabinet, it
should be constructed of a minimum 3/4”
plywood for sufficient strength.
