Durable Construction

A painted aluminum interior with a 304 stainless steel floor gives you increased durability, while a stainless steel exterior gives it a sleek appearance. Its front door features transparent glass, which easily displays products to customers or enables employees to spot the needed item before even opening up the fridge. For optimal temperature retention, the entire cabinet utilizes foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation. This item requires a 115V electrical connection for operation.

1/3 hp Compressor

The 1/3 hp compressor not only draws in cooler air for energy efficiency, but also raises the bottom shelf, so you don’t have to bend as much during loading and unloading. It 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. Also, this unit has an automatic defrost cycle, so your staff doesn’t need to spend valuable time clearing out ice.

Digital Temperature Control

Digital temperature control allows you to easily adjust the temperature of your refrigerator's cabinet within its 33 to 40 degree Fahrenheit range. The controller is preprogrammed to keep the unit in the safety zone (below 41 degrees) to avoid any issues with health inspectors. Plus, the unit will automatically defrost 4 times a day to keep food fresh and properly chilled. The clear LCD readout also helps keep track of the unit’s temperature.

Corrosion-Resistant Shelves

For convenience, three epoxy-coated shelves, which hold up to 88 lb. each, feature shelf clips for customization when desired. These adjustable shelves are coated with plastic to help keep out moisture and resist corrosion and rusting. Each unit comes with 3 shelves and 12 shelf clips, allowing you to place your shelves exactly where you need them to accommodate your small or large food products.

Door Lock

In order to keep your foods more secure overnight and after business hours, this unit features a door lock.

Self-Closing Door

This door is self-closing with a stay-open feature, giving your staff the ability to more quickly and easily load your refrigerator when you get a delivery.

Adjustable Shelves

This unit has a spacious cabinet with multiple adjustable shelves, but it's still small enough to fit in places where larger units would not.

    Dead on arrival. Instead of expediting a replacement, Webstaurant is making me file a warranty claim. I should have read the terrible reviews more carefully. Having been a Webstaurant customer for 10 years, I would have expected them to prioritize taking care of a customer over helping a supplier leave me holding the bag. So, don't buy this fridge, and don't buy one from Webstaurant--there are obviously better options out there on both fronts.

    The unit arrived covered entirely in cardboard, plastic and stryrofoam. I signed for it because there was no damage whatsoever to any of the packaging. After unwrapping the multiple layers of packing...I found several large dents in very noticeable areas all around it. This could only mean that the fridge was dented BEFORE it was wrapped! Completely unacceptable. Now, I'm stuck with a brand new heavily-dented fridge that I cannot return to the carrier since we signed for it. I am so frustrated that I paid good money for a brand new fridge and it looks like crap! Not the first time I have received a faulty brand new Avantco fridge either. This will be my last Avantco product I ever order! The fridge works okay, but there is a massive interior fan that takes up 8 inches of space all the way across the top.
