Chef AAA - LC-179, 20" Commercial 1 Glass Door Merchandiser Refrigerator - LC-179
With a swinging, triple-pane glass door, the one-section display freezer provides product visibility and prevents cold air from escaping. Product is held inside on three coated wire shelves, while the interior is illuminated by LED lights. Its compressor is self-contained and bottom-mounted, meaning it is convenient to access for maintenance, though debris from the floor can get sucked in. Frost from the evaporator coil is melted off with an automatic defrost cycle, and the merchandiser has digital controls that enable users to set the temperature.
