This refrigerated chef base drawer undercounter refrigerator is built for commercial cooklines that need chilled ingredients directly under the work surface. It combines a low-profile chef base cabinet, stainless steel interior and exterior, electronic temperature control, and ventilated fan cooling to keep frequently used foods within 33°F to 41°F during active service.
The drawer layout helps operators separate meat, seafood, dairy, sauces, toppings, vegetables, and garnish items into clear zones. Independent pull-out drawers reduce the time staff spend walking between prep tables and cold storage, while soft close slides support smoother, quieter operation during peak hours. Food pan configurations vary by model, giving pizza shops, sandwich stations, taco lines, bars, cafeterias, catering kitchens, and restaurants an organized setup for daily prep.
A thick 1.97 in. foaming layer helps maintain cabinet temperature when drawers open repeatedly. The R290 refrigeration system, copper fin evaporator, ventilated airflow, automatic defrost, and self-evaporation system are designed for reliable cold recovery with easy everyday use. The digital control panel allows quick temperature checks without interrupting cooking or assembly work.
The 16-gauge stainless steel worktop supports countertop cooking or prep equipment, with load capacity ranging by model from 730 lb to 1320 lb. Select from 36 in., 48 in., 52 in., 72 in., or 84 in. footprints to fit small prep stations, mid-size kitchens, or high-output cooklines. Capacities range from 6.5 to 19.1 cu. ft., and each model includes 4 in. deep stainless steel pans suited for fast portioning and restocking. Swivel casters with locking brakes make station positioning, floor cleaning, and service access easier, creating a practical refrigerated base for busy foodservice operations.
