AWF36SD

Overview

The Atosa AWF36SD is a 36-inch two-door worktop freezer with backsplash from Atosa's Undercounters & Worktops category. It combines frozen storage with a usable work surface: 8.97 cubic feet of cabinet space below and a stainless steel top above. The cabinet is built with high-grade stainless steel on both the interior and the exterior, and the backsplash is foamed-in-place as part of the cabinet itself rather than added on afterward.

On the refrigeration side, the AWF36SD maintains freezing temperatures from -8°F to 0°F and uses R290, an eco-friendly refrigerant. Electrical service is straightforward for a commercial freezer: 115 volts, 60 Hz, single phase, drawing 4.8 amps and 552 watts through a NEMA 5-15P connection — the standard grounded plug used on ordinary North American receptacles.

The unit is ETL Certified through Intertek's program, which tests products for compliance with North American safety standards, and NSF Certified, the mark that assures consumers, retailers and regulators that a product has been rigorously tested to comply with standard requirements. It is manufactured in China under the Atosa brand — a company that describes itself as a leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen equipment, with a catalog spanning refrigeration, cooking equipment, warming and holding equipment, and stainless steel fabrication. Atosa USA, whose site lists locations across North America and Latin America, was awarded Equipment Vendor of the Year by International Dairy Queen.

Key Features

• Two-door worktop freezer: 8.97 cu ft of frozen storage accessed through two solid doors, with the cabinet top serving as additional work surface in the kitchen.
• Built-in foamed-in-place backsplash: integrated into the rear of the cabinet so the unit can be positioned along a wall line with the splash guarding the wall behind the worktop.
• High-grade stainless steel, inside and out: both the interior and the exterior are finished in stainless steel for commercial service.
• -8°F to 0°F temperature range: genuine freezer holding temperatures for frozen product kept at the point of use.
• Eco-friendly R290 refrigerant: the refrigerant used in the AWF36SD's refrigeration system.
• Standard electrical service: 115 V / 60 Hz / 1 phase, 4.8 amps, 552 watts, NEMA 5-15P plug.
• ETL and NSF certified: ETL certification through Intertek for North American safety standards; NSF certification for food equipment compliance.
• Manageable footprint: 36.38" wide by 30" deep by 38.88" high, with a net weight of 172 lb.

Installation & Requirements

The AWF36SD connects to standard single-phase service: 115 volts at 60 Hz, with the unit drawing 4.8 amps and 552 watts. The factory connection is a NEMA 5-15P plug for use with a matching grounded receptacle; the published specifications indicate no hardwiring or special circuit configuration for this model.

Placement follows from the cabinet's construction. The backsplash is foamed-in-place at the rear of the unit, so in a typical layout the cabinet sits with its back along the wall and the raised splash protecting the wall surface behind the worktop. Because this is a worktop freezer, the space it occupies does double duty: frozen storage below, work surface on top.

Operation

In service, the two doors give access to the 8.97 cu ft interior, and the cabinet holds product between -8°F and 0°F. The stainless steel top provides the work surface that gives worktop units their name — plating, assembly or staging directly above the frozen storage underneath. The R290 refrigeration system maintains the freezing range, and the stainless interior is the surface that contacts stored product.

Applications

The AWF36SD suits kitchens that need frozen storage at the point of use without giving up prep space. At 36.38 inches wide, it slots into a standard 36-inch bay in a prep line or along a wall, and at 38.88 inches high its top sits at a practical working height for plating and assembly. Typical placements include restaurant prep and garde manger lines, bakery and pastry stations where frozen components are staged within reach, cafés and coffee operations adding freezer capacity behind the counter, and institutional or campus kitchens that need distributed frozen storage along the production line.

The built-in backsplash is the deciding detail in many layouts: anywhere the cabinet will sit against a wall — behind a prep table line, under wall-mounted shelving, or along a corridor-side work section — the foamed-in-place splash protects the wall finish from contact and splash, which is exactly the role the Worktop Freezers with Backsplash series plays in Atosa's Undercounters & Worktops lineup.
