Kool-It KCD-36 35 In. Countertop/Drop-In Refrigerated Display Case, 5.4 Cu. Ft., Self-Contained, R290

SKUKCD-36 BrandKool-It

The Kool-It KCD-36 Countertop/Drop-In Refrigerated Display Case

The Kool-It KCD-36 is a 35-inch countertop refrigerated display case with 5.4 cubic feet of capacity, built for delis, bakeries, coffee shops, and convenience stores that need a compact service display without a full floor-standing case. It holds product between 36 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit behind slanted double-pane tempered safety glass, giving customers a clear angled view of your sandwiches, cheese, pastries, or bottled drinks. The base is designed so you can use the KCD-36 as a freestanding countertop unit or drop it into a counter cutout for a built-in look. With a self-contained 1/3 HP compressor on a standard plug and only 3 amps draw, this case goes anywhere you have counter space and a standard outlet.

Forced Air Cooling with Double-Layer Anti-Condensation Glass

The KCD uses forced air refrigeration to maintain a consistent 36 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the display cavity. Unlike gravity coil systems that rely on natural air circulation, forced air actively pushes cold air across the shelves, which helps recover temperature faster after restocking. The front glass is a double-layer tempered safety glass design with an air duct running along the outside surface that removes condensation before it can form. Customers see your product clearly at all times, even in humid kitchens or bakery environments where steam from ovens and dishwashers would fog up a single-pane display.

An automatic defrost system handles frost buildup without manual intervention, and a digital temperature readout with electronic thermostatic control lets you monitor and adjust the holding temperature from the front of the case. R290 refrigerant (CFC-free) handles the cooling load with lower environmental impact than older refrigerant types, and the self-contained 1/3 HP compressor plugs into a standard NEMA 5-15P outlet, so installation is as simple as setting the case down and plugging it in.

Drop-In or Countertop Installation with Adjustable Shelving

The attractively designed base allows the KCD to work either as a drop-in unit recessed into a countertop cutout or as a freestanding countertop display. That dual-use flexibility means you can start with the case sitting on a prep counter and later build it into a permanent service station without replacing the unit. Four adjustable feet let you level the case on uneven surfaces and fine-tune the height for customer sightlines.

Height-adjustable shelves inside the display let you reconfigure the space for different product sizes. Stack two tiers of wrapped sandwiches, dedicate a full shelf to cheese wedges, or open up the height for tall beverage bottles. The interior and exterior glass panels are tempered safety glass, and two removable rear sliding glass doors give staff access for loading and rotating product. Stainless steel lower body panels and solid body construction keep the case looking professional over years of daily use. LED lighting at the top illuminates the display without adding heat to the cabinet.

The KCD-36 measures 34.6 inches wide by 22.6 inches deep by 27.4 inches high. Shipping dimensions are 37.4 by 24.7 by 28.9 inches. It runs on 120V/60Hz/1-phase at 3 amps with a NEMA 5-15P plug. Net weight is 153.2 lbs and shipping weight is 160.9 lbs.
