Ft., 3 Doors, Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Westlake WKR-82B is a three-section, bottom mounted reach-in refrigerator with three solid doors, a 81.5 in. wide cabinet in stainless steel inside and out. Its ventilated refrigeration system holds the cabinet at 33 °F to 40 °F, so dairy, prepped produce, and thawing proteins sit in the safe zone from the morning delivery through the dinner rush. The system is rated for kitchens up to 100 °F ambient, which covers a hot line in August. Three sections and 9 shelves make it the main refrigerator for a busy kitchen with no walk-in. It needs 81.5 in. of wall, so it is not a fit for a tight galley line. It arrives on preinstalled casters with brakes, plugs into a 115 V outlet through an 80 in. cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug, draws 3 A, and needs about 56.3 in. front to back with a door swung open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrecision Ventilated Refrigeration with Electronic Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1\/3 HP compressor drives a precision ventilated system that moves cold air through the whole cabinet instead of letting it pool at the bottom. A still-air cabinet runs warm on the top shelf and cold on the floor; a ventilated one keeps the cream on top and the case of romaine below at the same reading. The cabinet holds 33 °F to 40 °F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe electronic control lets you change the temperature set point and the defrost frequency from the controller. Out of the box the unit defrosts automatically every 4 hours, so the coil stays clear and your staff never has to shut the unit down to melt ice off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEpoxy Coated Wire Shelves Rated at 155 lb Each\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get 9 epoxy coated steel wire shelves, 3 per section, and each one carries 155 lb. That is enough for full cases of product, stacked hotel pans, or a row of filled food storage containers without the shelf bowing. The epoxy coating is the difference between a shelf that wipes clean and bare steel wire that rusts after a few months of condensation and spilled brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterior space measures 77.6 in. wide, 24.2 in. deep, and 59.7 in. high. Open wire also lets the moving air pass between levels, so a loaded shelf does not block the product under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Interior and Exterior\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is stainless steel on the outside and on the inside. On the outside that means a surface that shrugs off cart bumps and degreaser. On the inside it means a liner you can wipe down after a leaking case of chicken without worrying about stains or cracked plastic. At 444 lb net, the cabinet has real mass and stays put once the caster brakes are set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSelf-Closing Solid Doors with Locks and LED Lighting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach solid door closes itself behind you, so a cook carrying two pans does not have to kick it shut and it never hangs open through a rush. Push it to 90 degrees and it stays open, which is what you want when you are loading a delivery or pulling shelves to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull vertical LED lighting switches on when a door opens and off when it closes, lighting each shelf from the side so labels read clearly at the back. Locks and keys are included, so high-value product stays secured after close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBottom Mounted R290 System with Coated Copper Evaporator\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe refrigeration system sits at the bottom of the cabinet, which keeps the compressor at floor level where a technician can reach it without a ladder. A removable installation board gives access to the condenser coil for cleaning and service; a coil that gets brushed off on schedule runs cooler and pulls less power than one packed with grease and flour dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe evaporator is an anti-corrosion coated copper coil. The coating shields the evaporator from the acids that tomatoes, citrus, and vinegar-based product give off, which corrode bare copper over time. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon with an ozone depletion potential of 0 and a global warming potential of 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCasters, Cord, and Placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavy duty casters with brakes come preinstalled, so two people can roll the unit into position, lock it, and roll it back out when it is time to mop behind it. The cabinet measures 81.5 in. wide, 30.7 in. deep, and 81.9 in. high, with 56.3 in. of depth needed when a door is open. It runs on 115 V, single phase, at 3 A, and the 80 in. cord ends in a NEMA 5-15P plug.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Westlake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67710555324701,"sku":"WKR-82B","price":4520.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/89774_Westlake_WKR-82B_1.jpg?v=1791488725","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/westlake-wkr-82b-82-in-solid-door-reach-in-refrigerator-72-cu-ft-3-doors-stainless-steel","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
