This exact TE072LT configuration has four self-closing drawers with a stay-open feature and accommodates up to eight full-size 12 x 20 x 6 inch pans. Pans are not supplied.

Installation and Purchasing Considerations
- Allow a 72-inch-wide footprint. Cabinet depth is 32 inches; depth over the handle is 34 3/16 inches.
- Plan for 54 1/8 inches of depth when a drawer is fully open so staff can load and remove pans without blocking traffic.
- Overall height on the included 4-inch casters is 26 3/16 inches. Confirm this height works with the equipment and work surface planned above it.
- Connect the supplied NEMA 5-15P plug to a 115V, single-phase electrical supply. The unit draws 11.2 full-load amps and includes a 9-foot cord.
- The front-breathing design is intended for zero-clearance installation, but retain practical access to the side, front, and rear service panels. Do not block the front air path.
- Four 4-inch casters are standard. Six-inch stainless steel legs are an alternative option in lieu of casters; confirm the ordered base configuration before installation.
