Chest Freezer, 2 Solid Hinged Lids, Lock, LED Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Westlake WK-BD850 is a 30.0 cu. ft. manual defrost chest freezer with two solid hinged lids, an aluminum interior, and a painted steel exterior. The 30.0 cu. ft. well under two lids is bulk storage on the scale of a commissary or high-volume kitchen: whole cases stacked several deep, with each half of the cabinet opened on its own. Foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation is built to keep performing in 100 °F ambient, such as a hot storeroom or a garage in August. Measure the space first. The cabinet is 78.4 in. wide, 33.2 in. deep, and 37.4 in. high, so it needs a wide door and a long wall, and it is far more freezer than a small cafe or kiosk can use. It plugs into a 115 V outlet with a NEMA 5-15P cord, covers a 78.4 in. by 33.2 in. footprint, and needs 67.5 in. of height with the lid raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e30.0 Cu. Ft. Aluminum-Lined Storage Well\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe well holds 30.0 cu. ft. inside an aluminum liner. One epoxy-coated steel basket rated for 33 lb comes with the cabinet. Keep the small, fast-moving items there, like portion bags or a box of ice cream bars, so nobody digs to the bottom during a rush. Everything else stacks in the well. Plan your layers: slow movers low, tonight's product on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermostat Range for Freezing or Refrigeration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe temperature range covers two bands: 6 °F down to -11 °F for freezing, and 32 °F to 46 °F for refrigeration. Run it at the cold end of the freezing band for long-hold proteins and ice cream, or set it in the refrigeration band when you need a chest of cold drinks or a place to hold product for a catering weekend. The control is a front-mounted thermostat dial with two indicator lights, so keep a thermometer in the basket for your temperature log.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDirect Cooling with R290 Refrigerant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooling is direct. Unlike an upright, where cold air pours out the moment the door swings, a chest keeps its cold in the well when you lift the lid, because cold air sinks and has nowhere to go. The trade is manual defrost. Frost builds up over time and has to be cleared manually. The system runs on R290, a hydrocarbon refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of 3, and it is rated at 464 W.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDamping Hinges, LED Lid Light, and Key Lock\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the two lids rides on a damping hinge that holds at any angle between 45° and 75°. You can raise it with one hand, load a case with both, and it will not drop on your arms. An LED light built into the lid lights the well, which matters in a dim storeroom at 5 a.m. The lock keeps high-cost proteins secured after close or in a shared space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFoamed-in-Place Insulation for 100 °F Rooms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolyurethane insulation is foamed in place between the aluminum liner and the painted steel shell. That is what lets the cabinet maintain performance in 100 °F ambient, and why it is rated garage ready as well as for commercial use. The cabinet measures 78.4 in. wide, 33.2 in. deep, and 37.4 in. high and weighs 189 lb empty. Check your doorways and the wall space before it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Westlake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67710571512093,"sku":"WK-BD850","price":1519.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/89684_Westlake_WK-BD850_1.jpg?v=1791488966","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/westlake-wk-bd850-30-0-cu-ft-chest-freezer-2-solid-hinged-lids-lock-led-light","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
