MBC65GR

Overview

The Atosa MBC65GR is a 65-inch horizontal bottle cooler for commercial beverage service. Its 16.4 cu. ft. cabinet has stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces, with a top-access layout suited to storing and serving bottled beverages. The manufacturer lists exterior dimensions of 64 3/4 × 26 3/4 × 38 1/2 inches and a net weight of 205 lb.

The unit uses an electronic temperature controller and a heavy-duty Embraco compressor with R290 refrigerant. Atosa’s specification sheet recommends setting the refrigerator between 35°F and 38°F for food preservation. The cooler has easy-glide stainless steel lids with handles and locks, wire dividers, a bottle opener and cap catcher, and pre-installed casters.

Installation & Requirements

The supplied horizontal-bottle-cooler manual advises placing the cabinet on a flat, level surface and leaving space for use and maintenance. It states that air must circulate freely around the condensing unit and gives a minimum spacing of 50 cm. Do not install the cooler outdoors or where it is exposed to rain, in an explosive environment, near direct heat sources such as radiators or direct lighting, or in direct sunlight or drafts. The manual identifies an operating ambient temperature range of 50°F to 90°F.

The manual says to wait two hours before starting the cabinet if it has been positioned horizontally. Its positioning text also refers to adjustable leveling legs, while the MBC65GR specification lists pre-installed casters; check the unit’s supplied documentation for the base configuration. Remove the transit materials and white PVC protective film before use, and dispose of packaging according to local requirements.

Operation

Starting and setting the temperature

Switch on the unit using its power switch. The supplied manual says the electronic panel lights and displays the current cabinet temperature, along with a compressor indicator. After a power interruption, it says the compressor normally restarts after a short delay.

To view the set temperature, press and hold SET for one second. To change it, press SET and use the up or down control to raise or lower the setpoint, then press SET again to confirm. The manual lists the controller’s operating band as 36°F to 46°F. Atosa’s product specification sheet separately recommends 35°F to 38°F for food preservation; consult the unit’s controller and product documentation when selecting a setpoint.

Loading and defrosting

The manual advises loading products only after the cabinet reaches its desired operating temperature, not placing uncovered hot food or liquids inside, and packaging or protecting products when possible. It also advises against obstructing internal air circulation and recommends avoiding frequent or prolonged opening. The manual’s wording refers to a door or drawer; the MBC65GR has sliding lids.

The electronic control automatically defrosts four times in 24 hours, according to the supplied manual. To start a defrost cycle manually, press and hold the DEF button for more than five seconds. The manual says this starts a cycle immediately, with the next cycle starting after six hours; a defrost indicator lights during the cycle.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Before use, the manual calls for cleaning the cabinet walls and interior parts with an antibacterial detergent, then drying them with a clean, soft cloth. For plastic parts, it recommends a damp cloth and little or no water. Do not use harsh or abrasive solvents or detergents. Wear protective gloves when cleaning near parts that may cut, including the evaporator and condenser.

Clean the condenser frequently to help it receive fresh air, as Atosa’s specification sheet instructs. The manual also stresses keeping air circulation around the condensing unit unobstructed. The compressor assembly slides out for maintenance. The manual states that component replacements should use like components and that servicing should be performed by factory-authorized service personnel.

Troubleshooting

The supplied manual includes troubleshooting guidance for a cabinet that does not operate, does not reach the required temperature, leaks water or makes unacceptable noise. The available manual text does not provide the specific corrective steps for those conditions, so avoid dismantling or attempting repairs based on guesswork.

If the electronic controller displays a flashing EO alarm, the manual advises noting the code, switching the electronic control off, and switching it back on after a few seconds. If the code appears again, contact technical assistance and report the code. The manual also notes that defrost water is dispersed automatically on models with an integral condensing unit.

Applications

The manual identifies beer refrigeration, preparation and sale as possible uses for this horizontal bottle cooler. Its top-access format and bottle opener and cap catcher also suit beverage service in bars, restaurants and other commercial foodservice settings. The manual states that the appliance is for commercial use only and should not be used to store medical supplies.
