Designed for demanding commercial kitchens, this refrigerated chef base drawer undercounter refrigerator combines cold ingredient storage with a practical equipment worktop, helping cooks keep prep items directly beneath the line. The 33°F–41°F electronic temperature control supports steady chilled holding for meats, dairy, sauces, vegetables, toppings, and garnishes, while the digital panel allows monitoring during active service
Ventilated fan cooling circulates cold air through the drawer cabinet for even temperature distribution and quicker recovery after frequent access. Automatic defrost and self evaporation help simplify routine operation, and the R290 refrigeration system with copper fin evaporator components supports efficient pull down performance for busy restaurants, cafés, sandwich shops, taco stations, pizza counters, cafeterias, catering kitchens, and bars
The stainless steel interior and exterior create a professional work surface that handles daily kitchen activity and wipes clean after prep. A 1.97 inch one piece high density foam insulation layer helps retain cold air, and the 1.77 inch 16 gauge stainless steel top provides a stable platform for compatible countertop equipment, pans, trays, and prep tools. Depending on the selected model, the worktop load rating ranges from 730 lb to 1320 lb, with each drawer rated for up to 200lb
Multiple layouts are available to match different cookline footprints, from compact 36 inch stations to wide 84 inch stations. Drawer and pan configurations vary by model, including 6.5, 9.6, 10.5, 16.0, and 19.1 cu ft capacities, two or four drawers, and stainless steel food pan sets designed for organized portioning. Swivel casters with brakes make it easier to reposition the unit for floor care and service access, then lock it in place for steady operation. This chef base is a space saving solution for kitchens that need cold storage, equipment support, and fast ingredient access
