Drawers sized for pans

Holds 33°F to 38°F
An extra large evaporator coil, a higher horsepower compressor and a large condenser keep the drawers between 33°F and 38°F under a hot line.
Fast recovery airflow
A sealed, self-lubricating evaporator fan motor with larger blades moves high-volume, low-velocity air for faster temperature recovery.
R290 refrigerant
Natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of 0.02.
