Cooling and Controls
A 1/2 HP compressor runs on R290, a natural refrigerant. A digital controller holds -8°F to 0°F, and down duct airflow spreads cold air evenly from top to bottom. Automatic evaporation takes care of condensate water for you. It is a self-contained, plug-in unit, so there is nothing to plumb.
Built for a Commercial Kitchen
The inside and outside are stainless steel, so it stands up to spills and daily cleaning. The back is galvanized steel. The door closes on its own and stays open when you swing it all the way, which makes loading easier. It opens to 105°. The door locks, the handle is recessed so it does not catch on carts, and magnetic gaskets seal tight. It rolls on pre-installed 4" casters, so you can pull it out to clean behind it.
Why Bottom Mount?
On this freezer the compressor sits under the cabinet. It is easy to reach for cleaning and service. Prefer the compressor up top, away from floor dust and grease? See our top mount freezers.
