Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Are there any temperature specifications to keep in mind when installing this Avantco prep table?
Using this unit in consistent ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit will void the warranty. Any exposure to ambient temperatures of 90 degrees Fahrenheit or above will also void the warranty.
Avantco prep tables have an easily removable cutting board for your convenience. This makes for easy cleaning and for helping fit through narrow spaces. After removing the cutting board from the Avantco prep table the standard tops are 29 3/8" deep, the mega tops are 33 13/16" deep, and the pizza prep tables are 31 1/2" deep.
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
To promote proper air flow through your Avantco unit, please ensure that the wire ledges on the shelves are positioned toward the back of the unit. These ledges help keep enough space between your product and the back wall so that cold air can adequately circulate through the cabinet. Incorrectly installing the shelf ledges can restrict airflow, causing the temperature in the bottom of your unit to rise.
Many manufacturers offer their refrigeration equipment in several different height options to best meet your needs. Here's a breakdown of how we classify these different heights:

Counter Height: Work surface is more than 34" high; standard-height unit.

ADA Height: Work surface height is 34" or less; complies with ADA regulations.

Low Profile: Work surface height is less than 32"; designed to fit under most ADA-height counters.

If the unit you are purchasing does not have a flat top, such as a worktop or sandwich/salad prep table, it may affect whether or not it will align with certain countertops. To ensure that the product will meet your needs, please reference the product's literature and specifications.
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
The units come with casters preassembled underneath the pallet.
The types of pans and pan sizes that should be used in your Avantco refrigerated prep table depend on the table model and size. It’s important to refer to your equipment's Specification Sheet and/or Owner's Manual to see what pan sizes and configurations are recommended. Certain accessories may be needed in order to use pans of a different size than what is recommended.

It is also important to note that mixing and matching pans from different manufacturers may result in the pans not fitting properly. To ensure your pans will fit, refer to the items listed in the product’s "Works With" section. The pan sizes and configurations that each refrigerated prep table accommodates may vary. The items included in the “Works With” section may be used in your model, though configurations combining two or more different pan sizes may not be possible or may require adjustments to be made. The exceptions below apply to the model type indicated:

Mega Top Models – Can fit up to (3) 1/3 size pans from front to back without the use of a middle divider; 1/3 and 1/6 size pans cannot be combined in the same section

Standard Top Models – To use 1/3 size pans, included divider bars must be removed, or narrower divider bars must be used

Pizza Prep Models – While 1/3 size pans are the standard to use in pizza prep models, 1/6 size pans may be used when the orientation is changed
This unit’s refrigeration system is located in the lower rear of the cabinet, causing the step in its interior. The step may decrease the inner depth of the cabinet's lower interior versus what is listed as its overall interior depth, so please check the unit’s specs and diagrams to ensure it will accommodate your storage needs.

Worst cooler we ever purchased after six months wasn’t cooling it took three weeks for them to get back to us to see WHEN they could come out and take a look at it. I ended up having my refrigeration guy fix it and not wait for them. Terrible to have you wait 3 weeks without a cooler. Yes it voided the warranty but what can you do!

I PURCHASED THIS LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE COOLER WENT OUT. I CALLED A REFRIGERATION COMPANY TO SERVICE IT AND WAS TOLD HE HAS SEEN THINGS LIKE THIS IN A MUCH OLDER COOLER. BUT DEFINITELY NOT IN A NEWER UNIT. DO NOT PURCHASE. IT TOOK WEEKS FOR THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO SEND THEIR OWN TECH. ONLY TO TELL ME THEY WERE ONLY REPLACING PARTS NOT THE UNIT. SO THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS NOT GETTING REPLACED. SHAME ON WEBSTRAUNT FOR NOT STANDING BEHIND THE MERCHANDISE.

I like the value of this Avantco APT-71M-HC 71" 3 Door Mega Top Refrigerated Sandwich Prep Table compared to top brands like True Refrigeration or Beverage Air. You need to play around with adapters from other brands and play around with pans so you'll find the perfect fit/set up you need.

Easy set up, plug and play, the prep/ cutting board area is a little small on the depth side, the cutting board itself is way to thick and heavy.

In the delivery they WONT bring it inside, they just dropped on the sidewalk outside. I think they should bring it inside.

Thank you for your review, Brian! Bringing equipment inside is not part of common carrier delivery procedure. This video is included in order confirmation emails and explains the process, for future reference!

I bought this refrigerator and it stopped working after only 18 months. Very disappointing for a commercial appliance.

I had issues with this product since day 1. It was replaced when the summer was over, now the unit stopped working twice. The technicians are stating the temperature in the kitchen is too hot! But I have other refrigerators from other brands that have been working just fine for years! They have a nasty customer service, they are aggressive and rude who don't let customer talk. The product's warranty was about to expire, and it seems like they just don't want to invest or deal with their bad products.

Garbage, I have put more money in it than it is worth and I've only had it 2.5 years. Stay away at any price.
