A front-breathing, side-mounted refrigeration system slides out from the front for cleaning and service. The electronic controller displays temperature in °F or °C, while the heavy-duty 18-gauge stainless steel top has fully welded corners.

  • 2 lockable doors: Self-closing solid swing doors.
  • 4 adjustable shelves: Gray epoxy coating with product stops; half-inch shelf-clip increments.

Storage and loading

Use the cabinet for pre-packaged food and beverages. Leave space between containers and interior surfaces, and keep air inlets and outlets open. Distribute the load across securely installed shelves and do not exceed 100 lb. per shelf. Do not throw items onto the shelves, tightly pack the cabinet, or store chemicals or medical supplies.

The stainless steel top is part of the cabinet, not an appliance stand. Keep objects and moisture off the top. Do not climb, stand or hang on the cabinet or doors.

Installation and electrical supply

Install indoors on a firm, level floor that can support the loaded cabinet. Keep the refrigerator away from ovens, grills, corrosive environments and other sources of high heat. Leave the wall spacing, front ventilation and service access required by the installation instructions. Have the installer confirm the location, door swing and operating conditions before fitting the cabinet into a bar.

Connect the grounded NEMA 5-15P plug to an independent, properly grounded outlet. Have a qualified installer confirm the delivered nameplate, supply and circuit protection. Do not use an extension cord or remove the grounding prong. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle. R-290 is flammable; keep ignition sources away and leave refrigeration-system service to qualified personnel.

Cleaning and maintenance

Move stored food and drinks to suitable cold storage, turn the power switch off and unplug the cabinet before maintenance. Clean the condenser every 30–60 days, adjusting the frequency to dust and grease accumulation. Keep the front grille clear and do not add filter material in front of the condenser.

Use soap and water or a non-abrasive, non-chloride cleaner on stainless steel, and warm soapy water on door gaskets. Wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth. Avoid acids, chlorine bleach, steel wool, sharp tools and high-pressure water. Keep electrical parts dry. When the condensing unit is returned after service, ensure its drain pipe is positioned over the drain pan.

Options and model selection

Optional low-profile caster-and-rail kits and bottle rail guides are available separately. Confirm the correct kit and finished installation height for the selected cabinet. Choose a separate -S model for a stainless steel exterior.
