Cabinet and door construction
The cabinet interior and exterior front, sides and top are stainless steel. The exterior back and bottom are coated steel. Cabinet walls and doors have 2⅜-inch CFC-free polyurethane insulation. Door-activated LED lighting illuminates the interior, and ducted airflow distributes cooled air through the cabinet.
Lockable, field-reversible stainless steel doors have flush aluminum handles, spring-assisted closing and a stay-open position past 90°. The stepped door profile protects the recessed gasket. Removable magnetic gaskets simplify cleaning, and an adjustable bottom door sweep seals against the ramp. The top-mounted refrigeration assembly includes an E-coated evaporator, accessible condenser filter and non-electric condensate evaporation.
Installation and cart fit
Check the 35-inch cabinet width, 87.5-inch height, ramp projection and full door swing against the delivery route and final location. The installation manual permits zero side and top clearance for roll-through refrigerators; keep both door approaches and the condenser service path accessible.
Use a flat, level floor. Have the installer seal the cabinet perimeter where it meets the floor with approved caulk, attach and seal the ramp, and adjust the door sweep so it touches the ramp when closed. Follow the supplied installation drawings for attachment and sealing details.
Match cart width, depth, wheels and loaded weight to the usable interior, door opening, guides and ramp. The 72-inch height allowance alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm the exact cart before ordering; no rack or cart is included.
Electrical and location requirements
Install indoors away from ovens, grills and corrosive conditions. R-290 refrigerant is flammable: do not install in a public corridor or lobby, keep ignition sources away, and never puncture the refrigerant circuit. A qualified installer must confirm the delivered nameplate, minimum room area and applicable local requirements.
Use a dedicated, grounded outlet and the supplied cord. Do not use an extension cord or grounding adapter. If GFCI protection is required, use a GFCI breaker rather than a GFCI receptacle. Keep the top service area reachable after installation.
Loading and temperature control
Let the empty refrigerator cool before loading. Keep food wrapped or in sealed containers, leave space for airflow and keep air inlets and outlets clear. Do not place warm or hot food directly into the cabinet. Select a holding temperature appropriate to the food and applicable food-safety requirements, and confirm the permitted ambient conditions for the delivered unit.
Adjust the temperature setpoint by no more than 2°F at a time and allow at least eight hours to stabilize before further adjustments. This appliance is intended for temporary food storage, not vaccines, chemicals or medical supplies. Keep door openings brief. Do not stand, climb or hang on the cabinet or doors.
Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug before cleaning or service. Wipe spills promptly and clean the interior and door gaskets with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft cloth and products formulated for stainless steel on the exterior. Avoid hot water, steel wool, abrasive cleaners and chlorine bleach, and never spray water into or onto the appliance.
Check the air filter at least twice monthly and wash it with warm water and neutral cleaner when dirty. Inspect the condenser twice yearly and clean it at least annually, more often when conditions require. Clean the condensate wick at least annually. Keep the ramp, door sweep and floor seal clean and intact.
Ordering and limited warranty
