What is the difference between a mega top prep table and a sandwich prep refrigerator?

Mega top prep refrigerators hold more pans on top, for example the 70 in. 3-Door Mega Top holds thirty 1/6-size pans, ideal for pizza and build-your-own lines. Sandwich/salad models, like the 47 in. 10 cu. ft. 2 Door unit holding 12 pans plus a cutting board, give you a prep surface up front. Both keep 33°F to 40°F with refrigerated storage below.

What is a chef base refrigerator used for?

A chef base is a refrigerated drawer unit that sits directly under countertop cooking equipment like griddles and charbroilers, keeping ingredients within arm’s reach. Magic Chef chef bases come in 36, 48, 52 and 60 in. widths with stainless steel construction and casters; drawer models hold full-size or 1/6-size pans. Match the width to the equipment sitting on top.

Which models are made for bars?

For bars, look at the 72 in. 20 cu. ft. 3-Door Under Bar Refrigerator with a 24 in. depth, the 36 in. and 50 in. Glass Frosters that chill glassware at 0°F to 7°F, the 95 in. 16 cu. ft. Bottle Cooler with sliding lids, and the Three 1/2 Barrel Keg Cooler with two direct draw taps. Each is sized to fit typical back-bar layouts.

Which refrigerators are best for displaying products to customers?

Merchandisers put products on view. Options include the 30 in. and 48 in. Open Air Merchandisers with LED-lit shelving and a night cover, 53 in. 45 cu. ft. Glass Door Merchandisers with anti-fog glass, the 9 cu. ft. Single Door Merchandiser, and curved-glass deli cases in 48 in. and 82 in. widths holding 32°F to 43°F. Pick based on self-serve versus staff-served display.

How much clearance do open air merchandisers need?

The Open Air Merchandisers use front air intake and rear discharge, so keep the front grille unobstructed and allow airflow behind the unit. Many reach-in glass door models use bottom-mounted compressors. Required clearances vary by model, so check the installation section of the product page and manual before placing a unit against a wall or in an alcove.
