The 21Ltr capacity Araven 1/1GN food containers are an excellent solution for safely storing food ...The 21Ltr capacity Araven 1/1GN food containers are an excellent solution for safely storing food in the professional kitchen. Designed for everyday durability and reliability, the container is specifically made to keep the contents stored behind a strong, airtight seal for extended periods. The included lid has such a strong seal that even bumps and knocks which would otherwise cause spillage and food waste don't affect the Araven. The container could easily be stored on its side and the contents would remain safely stored. Food hygiene is made considerably easier with these storage boxes. Supplied with colour-coded tabs, it's easy to quickly identify the contents and store appropriately. There's also a wipe-clean label on the front too, allowing you to quickly record and view essential information such as use-by dates at-a-glance. What's more, the containers are stackable, saving valuable storage space in your fridges, freezers or cold room. Sold in packs of four with lids. Dimensions: 150(H) x 530(W) x 325(D)mm. Temperature range: -40°C to +95°C. Dishwasher safe.
The Araven 21Ltr Gastronorm Food Storage Box is an essential tool for professional kitchens seeking to maximize food safety, organization, and space efficiency. Designed for heavy-duty daily use, these containers feature an exceptionally robust, airtight seal that prevents spills even when stored on their side; however, users should note that the strong suction of the lid requires a firm grip to release, which may take practice in fast-paced environments.

Troubleshooting
Lid is stuck and difficult to open
The seal is very tight; try lifting one corner slightly to break the vacuum before pulling the rest of the lid away.
Label is difficult to wipe clean
Ensure you are using a dry-wipe marker compatible with food-safe storage surfaces. If ink persists, use a mild food-safe degreaser or sanitizing solution.
Contents are leaking during transport
Check the seal for any debris or food particles that might be preventing a flush closure. Clean the rim thoroughly and re-seat the lid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, ensure the container and lid are washed in warm, soapy water. Apply the color-coded tab to the designated slot to suit your kitchen's labeling system.
Compatibility: These are standard 1/1GN (Gastronorm) dimensions (150H x 530W x 325D mm), making them compatible with standard kitchen racking systems, prep tables, and GN-sized shelving.
Care: While these containers are dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads on the wipe-clean label area to keep it legible over time. When closing the lid, press down firmly on all corners to ensure the airtight seal is fully engaged.
