Who it suits
Units like this are used by restaurants, bars, cafes, delis and convenience stores that need product held at a safe temperature within reach of staff or customers. Pick the size from how much you need to hold on your busiest day and from the floor space you can give up, and decide early whether solid or glass doors suit how the unit will be used.

Before you order
- Measure the space and every doorway on the delivery path, then compare them with the width, depth and height listed above.
- Check the voltage and plug type on the spec sheet against the outlet you plan to use. Commercial refrigeration is normally put on its own circuit.
- Leave the clearance the manufacturer calls for around the condenser so the unit can move air.
- Confirm the door style and swing suit your layout before you order.
- Follow the start-up steps in the manual after delivery, including any standing time before first power-on.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most common mistakes with commercial refrigeration are buying a unit that will not fit through the door, plugging it into a shared circuit, and pushing it tight against a wall so the condenser cannot breathe. Loading warm product in bulk is another: these units are built to hold cold food cold, not to chill hot food quickly.
Care and maintenance
- Clean the condenser coil on the schedule in the manual. A dusty coil is a leading cause of poor cooling.
- Wipe door gaskets regularly and replace any that are torn or no longer seal.
- Do not block the air vents inside the cabinet with product.
- Keep the unit level so the doors close and seal on their own.
- Check the temperature daily and act on any drift before food is at risk.
