Open Air Merchandiser, Self-Contained, Black Enamel Finish, R-290","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-It KOM-36XBK is a 36-inch open air merchandiser finished in powder coated black enamel for a bold, modern look that works well in upscale delis, coffee bars, and specialty food shops. With 14 cubic feet of display capacity and three adjustable shelves, it handles the same grab-and-go merchandising tasks as its stainless counterpart while using R-290 refrigerant, a natural hydrocarbon with a much lower global warming potential than traditional synthetic refrigerants. If your operation prioritizes both aesthetics and environmental impact, the XBK gives you both in one case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eForced Air Cooling with Night Curtain and Coated Evaporator\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe open-front design lets customers grab beverages, sandwiches, cheese, and pre-packaged items without opening a door, which keeps traffic moving during busy periods. A forced air refrigeration system circulates cold air evenly across all three adjustable shelves, holding product between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The coated evaporator coil resists corrosion from the moisture that naturally builds up in an open merchandiser, which extends the life of the refrigeration system and reduces maintenance calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eA night curtain pulls down over the front opening after hours to reduce energy consumption when the store is closed. The automatic defrost system prevents ice buildup on the evaporator without any manual intervention. Digital temperature readout with electronic thermostatic control gives you precise monitoring from the front of the case, so you can verify holding temps at a glance during health inspections or routine checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eLED Lighting, Double Tempered Glass, and Mobile Casters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eLED interior lighting runs the full height of the display, keeping labels and product colors visible without generating the heat that fluorescent tubes add to the cabinet. Less heat inside the case means the compressor cycles less often, which translates to lower energy costs over the life of the unit. Double tempered glass side panels provide clear sightlines from multiple angles while adding an insulation layer that helps maintain consistent interior temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFour 2-inch casters, two with brakes, make it straightforward to reposition the merchandiser for cleaning behind the unit or rearranging your floor layout. The solid uniformed body construction gives the case a clean, professional appearance. Simple plug-in installation means you can place the unit, plug it in, and start merchandising the same day without waiting on an electrician for hardwired connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBoth the exterior and interior panels are powder coated black enamel painted steel, creating a cohesive dark look that makes colorful product packaging stand out on the shelves. The KOM-36XBK runs a 1\/2 HP compressor drawing 14.5 amps at 115V with a 5-15P plug. It measures 36.1 inches wide by 31.2 inches deep by 57.4 inches high. Shipping weight is 337 lbs in a crate measuring 39 by 34.6 by 63 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kool-It","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51060529332509,"sku":"KOM-36XBK","price":4467.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/40168_imgi_13_KOM-36-BK.jpg?v=1775987142","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/kool-it-kom-36xbk-36-in-open-air-merchandiser-self-contained-black-enamel-finish-r-290","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
