Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Can this unit be built into cabinetry?
It should not be built into cabinetry. This unit requires 3” of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation.
No, they must be installed after delivery.
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.
This product cannot be shipped to Canada.
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.
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.

At first we were a little skeptical of buying these Avantco fridges. We were thinking of going with the turbo air or true refrigerators, but were are glad we went with these. They are half the price of the ones we were looking at, but do the same job. The only thing we will have to see is longevity, but without that working capitol we might not even make it to see that. Nonetheless this fridge is quality and a great buy

This worktop refrigerator has become an indispensable component to our back bar. perfect height for working and storing items. The refrigerator component is one of the best I've ever seen with little to no temperature fluctuation noticed even during busy times.

I can't even begin to express how unimpressed I am with this machine as it's not working, and hasn't been since we plugged it in I threw a few things in it overnight when we plugged it in so there was stuff in the fridge. Came in the next morning to find everything warm and horrible smelling from being left in what felt like a sauna. The unit kicked in and everything but nothing cooled off. I won't be purchasing any Avantco products in the future.

We appreciate your review, Shawna Conley. We wish this Avantco SS-WT-48R-HC 48 inch Two Door Worktop Refrigerator with 3 1/2 inch Backsplash would have worked out for you. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

Kitchen is mostly Avantco product so when I needed another fridge I didn't hesitate on another Avantco product. This fridge is 48' long with a solid SS worktop that gets abused every day. Storage is at a premium and the added storage is a blessing. Temperature remains constant and compressor is very quiet, great price too!!!!

The Avantco 48" two-door has met all of our needs. We are a high volume restaurant and constantly opening and closing the doors it has had no problems keeping temperature. Great price for a quality machine!

This refrigerator provides a great work space. The back splash prevents things from falling over. Holds a steady temp. My only negative with the rack inside does not go all the way to the back, so some of the space is not usable unless we stack items awkwardly leaning on the back of the rack and wall

This is a tough little worktop! It has performed flawlessly for about a year and cleans up fabulously, it may be the best looking piece of equipment we have.

This Avantco is ok. There's a problem w/ the thermometer . Somewhere It does read the temp. correctly. The temp. always stay at 44degree and never go down even if I turn it on to low/high.

This fridge is a really nice investment! Expensive just like any commercial refrigeration but it is so nice to have. It stores something like 30 gallons of milk and the worktop is nice to use as a table.
