The Omcan 59053 Undercounter Freezer
The Omcan FR-CN-0686E-HC is a 27-inch wide Aurora undercounter freezer with 6.3 cubic feet of frozen storage, a single solid swing door, and 1 adjustable plastic-coated steel shelf. This is the most compact model in the Aurora freezer series, designed to slide under a counter or work table to provide frozen ingredient storage right where you need it on the line. It works well in small restaurant kitchens, bar prep areas, and food trucks where a full-size reach-in freezer would take up too much floor space. The self-closing door with a 90-degree stay-open feature lets the door swing shut on its own during normal use but locks open at 90 degrees when you need both hands free to load or unload product.
Stainless Steel Interior and Exterior with Digital Controls
Both the interior and exterior are stainless steel, which provides the durability commercial kitchens demand and makes cleaning straightforward at the end of each shift. The digital control system lets you adjust the temperature set point and defrost frequency with precision. The freezer holds between 0 to -8°F, covering the safe frozen storage range for all commercial food products. Self-closing doors with 90-degree stay-open give you the convenience of hands-free loading when you are transferring product from delivery boxes or other storage, and they pull shut automatically during regular grab-and-go access. Each shelf holds up to 44 lb of product.
R290 Refrigerant with Cyclopentane Insulation and Ventilated Cooling
R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant is both environmentally friendly (GWP of 3) and more energy-efficient than older HFC refrigerants. Cyclopentane foam insulation in the cabinet walls provides excellent thermal separation that keeps the compressor from working harder than necessary to maintain sub-zero temperatures. The ventilated cooling system distributes cold air throughout the interior so temperature stays consistent from front to back and top to bottom. Automatic defrost keeps the evaporator clear without manual intervention. Four casters make the unit easy to reposition for cleaning or kitchen reconfiguration. At 1/6 HP on a standard 110-120V / 60Hz / 1Ph circuit with a NEMA 5-15P plug drawing 1.9A, the unit runs efficiently without dedicated electrical work. The recommended ambient operating environment should not exceed 75°F and 55% relative humidity.
