Front-Breathing Design

The need for extra clearance is eliminated due to the convenient front-breathing deign, which allows the back and sides of the unit to be placed directly against a wall. This design provides exceptional airflow and helps to save space in your establishment. Plus, operation of the freezer is easy, thanks to its special features! Monitor it by consulting the interior wall-mounted thermometer, and use the auto-defrost feature on the pre-programmed digital controller to maintain the freezer in tip-top shape. For operation, this worktop unit requires a 115V electrical connection.

Bulk Storage

Its epoxy-coated shelf accommodates up to 88 lb., making it well equipped for holding heavy bulk ingredients, from frozen broccoli and cauliflower to frozen pork chops. Plus, the bright LED interior lighting allows users to find what they're looking for with ease.

High-Quality Performance

This worktop freezer ensures optimal performance by operating with a 1/5 hp refrigeration system that circulates R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant to maintain temperatures from -8 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. R-290 refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0 and a global warming potential (GWP) of 3. The foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation helps to retain cold temperatures, which ensures that all food held in the unit remains at food safe temperatures and ready for preparation or direct service to customers!

Durable Construction

This corrosion-resistant unit is designed for outstanding durability to ensure that it withstands tough, busy kitchen environments. It features a 430 type stainless steel exterior, which provides both strength and a smooth, sleek appearance. The interior, made with 304 type stainless steel, also offers the durability necessary for heavy, regular use.

Smooth Mobility

This unit includes casters for easy mobility.

Helpful Alerts

Audible alarms alert you to temperatures too high or low, extended door opening, and to clean the unit's condenser.

Easy to Load

The self-closing and stay-open solid door allows users to load the unit quickly and easily after a delivery, while the recessed door handle and magnetic door gaskets further expedite the loading process.
