  • 2" CFC-free foamed-in-place insulation locks in cold and reduces energy draw.
  • E-coated evaporator coil extends service life in high-humidity environments.
  • Removable stainless end panel and front-breathing design speed up routine maintenance.
Installation clearance:
• Maintain 4" between the bottom of your cooking equipment’s heating element and the chef-base top (max 180 °F surface).
• 1" side clearance required; rear bumpers supplied for correct airflow.
• If a GFCI outlet is required, use a breaker-style GFCI, not a receptacle.
