Works With

Optimize the space in your kitchen with a Beverage-Air WTFCS36HC-48 2 drawer 48" freezer chef base with 12" overhang.

With a heavy-duty, reinforced 16-gauge top surface, this unit is designed to hold countertop equipment for easy access and increased storage. The top is even insulated and fire-proof, making it great for holding powerful cooking equipment, from charbroilers and griddles to countertop fryers. This particular model features a 6" overhang on each side, providing a larger surface in the same footprint as a standard 36" model. The design also allows the unit to hold larger cooking equipment.

Impeccable Drawers

Beneath the top are 2 heavy-duty stainless steel drawers, which are each capable of accommodating a dynamic load of up to 275 lb. The drawers are also self-closing, shutting automatically when they reach the final 1 - 2" of their respective slides. Not only does this make it easier to close the drawers, it also helps reduce the amount of cold air from escaping into the environment. The slides even each boast 3 Delrin-encased stainless steel roller bearings to ensure that the drawers smoothly extend and retract.

Space Saver

Inside each drawer, you can fit up to 2 full size, 6" deep food pans. This creates a total of 5.64 cu. ft. of space, which is great for storing a variety of cold products. With countertop equipment placed on top of the unit, this chef base provides both space to store product and space to prepare it, all in the same convenient footprint.

Long Lasting

Made for the commercial environment, the freezer features a stainless steel exterior front, sides, and grille. The interior is also lined with corrosion-resistant aluminum, so an accidental spill or leak won't damage the cabinet's integrity. Plus, its full marine drip-guard surface prevents spills from dripping over the edge, so your floor remains safe and dry. Delivering exceptional reliability, the drawers and their 12-gauge slides are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Eco-Friendly Refrigerant

For reliable high-performance operation, a 1/2 hp refrigeration system circulates R290 refrigerant. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business. It maintains temperatures at -10 degrees Fahrenheit. A full electronic control makes it easy to adjust the unit during the day as needed.

Casters Included

When it comes time to clean the chef base, its 3" casters help it to roll away from the wall or other cramped space for clearance. The adaptive defrost proactively simplifies regular maintenance, and the 2 casters with brakes lock the unit in place during operation. A 115V electrical connection is required for operation.

With a lifetime part warranty on all drawer fronts and sides, and Delrin rollers rated for 275 lb., you can rest assured that these drawers are built to last. Beverage-Air chef bases are easy to operate thanks to their electronic controls. The full refrigeration system is serviceable from the front of the cabinet, making any sort of maintenance easy to perform. All chef bases use an eco-friendly R-290 refrigerant, and have a redesigned airflow for more consistent product temperature.

    36" Marine Edge Top

    Had to call for service less than one week after install. This unit is designed for a light duty install, such as cafe or deli, not a full service restaurant line. We have to empty it every night to avoid the fear of walking into defrosted product. Little assurance for a lot of price.
