I would think they refer to the "fridge"...

Yes, indeed. But if you work at the kitchen, no matter how hot the area can be, you always have a fridge, and a freezer, in many cases.

As a matter of fact, having worked at kitchens and helping chefs, there is always more than a fridge. You have a "working fridge", and a big fridge, etc...

And it is key to keep the fridges as clean an hygienic as possible!!! ;-)

Para dejar a un lado las suposiciones (que lo son), parece evidente que hablamos de "equipos frigoríficos" o cualquier tipo de "frigorífico".

Para muestra, un botón:

frigoríficos, campanas, etc…).

Vamos, como mi padre, yo he sido cocinero antes que fraile, y me extrañaría mucho que fuera algo distinto.

Si alguien encuentra algo que corresponda, pues mies sobre hojuelas, pero la verdad es que no veo qué otra cosa puede ser....

Lo dicho: saludos cordiales.

En Cuba (años 50-70) era corriente "refrigerador", pero había curiosas variantes en boca de las gentes sencillas, que le llamaban también "frigidaire" y "refriger-aire" por corrupción de una marca comercial norteamericana (creo que era Frigidaire o algo así). En cambio "nevera" nunca se usó, como tampoco es razonable su uso en países en los que la nieve es desconocida.

You're welcome.

N.B.: Even if they use "refrigerador" along the text, I tend to believe they refer here not to "freezer" but to the "fridge". Keeping a "freezer" clean and hygienic, is quite a task. I have done such cleaning, and you have to be pretty energetic, and very well dressed...

If you can double check with the client, maybe you can get a confirmation, but as Neilmac notes "fritzes" is a mispronunciation or mis-spelling for "fridge".

If you have a "small" working fridge, you will probably have a freezer (in it), but even then you would refer to it as "fridge".

You're welcome!

Glad to be of help! :-)
Note from asker:
I thought that at first, but then noted that it refers to equipment and so in the hot area of the kitchen
Then I gues it could be freezer, because they use refrigerador along the text. Thank you
The thing is that the document consists of tables, and the one listing the areas to clean, includes both refrigerator and fritze. Anyway, your answer was helpful. Thank you

neutral Christian [email protected] : seems like a great guess.

Thank you very much, Christian. :-) What else could it be?
agree neilmac : Yep, and "fritzes" sounds like a mispronounced "fridges"...

On the basis of that, seems freezer is a possibility.

Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree JohnMcDove : Good reference. But "frizar" does not include the "t", which to me is the "clincher" in this context. In addition to the "reality" of a kitchen. The second one seems to refer clearly to "fridge" ;-)
