Hoshizaki DT2A-FS 55" Stainless Steel Dual-Temperature Refrigerator and Freezer

Product overview

The Hoshizaki DT2A-FS Steelheart dual-temperature upright combines refrigerated and frozen food storage in one 55-inch-wide cabinet, with the refrigerator on the left and freezer on the right when viewed from the front. Each compartment provides 23.10 cu. ft. of storage and three adjustable epoxy-coated shelves. Separate digital controls provide temperature displays in Fahrenheit or Celsius, with temperature and voltage alarms.

Stainless steel covers the cabinet interior and exterior front and sides. Solid stainless steel doors include locks, spring-assisted self-closing hinges, a stay-open position past 90 degrees and flush aluminum handles. Removable magnetic gaskets and a stepped door edge make the door seals accessible for cleaning. The top-mounted R-290 refrigeration systems use E-coated evaporators; interior LED lighting illuminates the storage compartments.

• ▣ Two storage zones: Refrigerator left, freezer right.
• ↔ 55-inch cabinet width: 79.5-inch overall height including 4-inch casters.
• ▤ Adjustable shelf supports: Epoxy-coated shelving with 1-inch adjustment increments.

Specifications

Food storage and loading

Allow both compartments to reach operating temperature before stocking. Cool warm or hot food before loading, wrap food or use sealed containers, and leave space between products for air circulation. Keep air inlets and outlets clear. Install each shelf securely on four support clips and do not exceed 120 lb per shelf.

Use the cabinet for food storage, not chemicals, vaccines or medical supplies. Do not climb, stand or hang on the doors or cabinet. Follow applicable food-handling requirements for each product stored.

Installation and electrical supply

Install indoors on a firm, level foundation, away from ovens, grills, high heat and corrosive environments. Maintain at least 3 inches of rear clearance. Have the installer confirm the required overhead clearance and full door swing before positioning the cabinet. Use within a 45–100°F room; the unit is not intended for installation above 6,561 feet (2,000 m).

The DT2A-FS requires a minimum room floor area of 6.2 m² (67 sq. ft.) for operation or storage. Do not install this R-290 unit in a public corridor or lobby. Have qualified personnel confirm the delivered nameplate, ventilation and local installation requirements before connecting power.

Move the cabinet upright and do not tilt it more than 45 degrees or lift it by the top section. Lock the front casters after positioning. Connect to an independent, properly grounded outlet matching the plug and nameplate. Do not use an extension cord or adapter 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, do not puncture refrigerant tubing, and do not use mechanical tools to accelerate defrosting. Keep ventilation openings clear and leave refrigeration service to qualified technicians.

Cleaning and maintenance

Unplug the cabinet and move food into another suitable refrigerator or freezer before cleaning. Check the air filter at least twice a month; wash a clogged filter with warm water and neutral cleaner. Inspect the condenser twice a year and clean as needed with a brush or vacuum, with cleaning at least once a year. Dusty or greasy conditions may require more frequent maintenance.

Wipe the exterior with a clean, soft cloth and neutral cleaner. Clean the interior and door gaskets with mild soap and warm water, not hot water, and wipe spills promptly. Remove and clean shelves regularly. Use stainless-steel-safe products on stainless surfaces; avoid steel wool, abrasives and chlorine bleach. Do not splash, spray or pour water into the cabinet. Let both compartments return to their operating temperatures before restocking.

Clean the refrigerator-side condensate wick at least once a year, replacing it if clogged or deteriorating. Refit it correctly into the condensate pan. The freezer side does not use this wick-cleaning procedure. Unplug the cabinet before this maintenance.

Optional accessories

Available accessory categories include additional epoxy-coated or stainless steel shelves, pan/tray slides, a foot pedal, stainless steel back and 6-inch legs. Accessories are separate selections; confirm the exact model, mounting requirements and resulting installed dimensions before ordering.

Limited warranty
