The Arctic Air ARCB72 Refrigerated Chef Base
The Arctic Air ARCB72 74" Refrigerated Chef Base is engineered to deliver reliable cold storage and heavy-duty worktop support for professional kitchen operations. Designed to hold cooking equipment while keeping ingredients conveniently chilled, this unit combines exceptional cooling performance, rugged construction, and precise digital controls.
Featuring a heavy-duty stainless steel top insulated with a ceramic fabric layer over high-density foam, the ARCB72 prevents heat transfer to the refrigerated drawers below. The marine edge top includes a 1” (2” overall) extension on each side to provide a stable, flush surface for equipment placement. Four full-extension telescoping drawers, mounted on heavy-duty Fulterer cartridge slides, accommodate six full-size pans (three top, three bottom) up to 6” deep. Stainless steel hook adapter bars and magnetic drawer gaskets make cleaning easy and efficient.
The side-mounted, self-contained capillary tube refrigeration system uses environmentally friendly R290 Hydrocarbon refrigerant. It features front-breathing ventilation, allowing flexible placement against walls. An electronic thermostat with an external digital LED display provides precise temperature control between 33°F and 41°F. Reinforced mounting points and heavy-duty 5" casters (three locking) ensure stability and mobility. The ARCB72 is NSF Standard 7 certified for open food storage and backed by a two-year parts and labor warranty plus a five-year compressor warranty.
