MCF8733GR

Overview

The Atosa MCF8733GR is a two-section, two-glass-door commercial merchandiser refrigerator for displaying chilled products while keeping them refrigerated. Its 28.5 cu. ft. capacity and eight included shelves provide room to arrange packaged food, drinks and other products for customer viewing. The black steel exterior gives the cabinet a dark finish, while the stainless steel interior provides a durable, cleanable storage surface.

Atosa specifies a holding temperature of 35°F–38°F. The refrigeration system is self-contained and mounted at the bottom of the cabinet, so the unit does not depend on a separate remote refrigeration system. Glass doors, LED interior lighting and a lighted header panel make the contents visible from outside the cabinet.

Key Features

• Two glass doors: Double-pane, self-closing doors provide a view of the contents. The doors include locks and a stay-open feature, as well as recessed handles and magnetic gaskets.
• Illuminated merchandising: Standard LED interior lighting helps show displayed products. The lighted header panel provides an additional illuminated display area.
• Eight shelves: Four shelves are standard per door section. Shelves are pre-installed, and the spec sheet identifies epoxy shelves. The manual lists a maximum shelf load of 176 lb.
• Bottom-mounted refrigeration: The self-contained system uses R290 refrigerant.
• Mobility: Pre-installed 2-inch casters support positioning the cabinet.
• Electrical connection: The spec sheet lists a NEMA 5-15P plug.

Installation & Requirements

The supplied Atosa display-refrigerator manual specifies a 115V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical supply for the MCF8733GR. It says the supply voltage should remain within ±6% of the unit’s rated voltage. The product spec sheet lists a NEMA 5-15P plug; the manual also describes the refrigerator as supplied with a power cord.

According to the manual, a suitably rated thermomagnetic circuit breaker must be installed between the mains supply point and the refrigerator power cable. The breaker is not supplied. The manual says this electrical work must be carried out by professionally qualified people. After connecting the unit, check that it is operating as indicated by the pilot light incorporated in the main switch.

Position the refrigerator in the coolest, best-ventilated part of the room, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep ventilation openings clear. The manual warns against damaging the refrigerant circuit and identifies R290 as a flammable refrigerant, with a risk of fire or explosion. It also says not to use mechanical devices to speed up defrosting except those recommended by the manufacturer, and not to place electrical appliances inside the food-storage compartments unless the manufacturer recommends them.

Operation

The electronic controller regulates the refrigerator’s operating parameters. The manual advises consulting the separate digital-control-unit instructions for controller parameters and warns users not to change the microcomputer parameters privately, because doing so may damage the compressor or other functions. The product listing states a maintained temperature of 35°F–38°F; a separate seller description gives a controller range of 33°F–38°F.

The two doors close automatically and include an automatic stay-open feature. Use the locks when securing the displayed contents. LED interior lighting illuminates the shelves, while the lighted header panel adds visibility above the cabinet doors. The manual says the unit is intended for commercial use only.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The manual strongly recommends regular cleaning of the refrigerator, with a monthly cleaning interval stated in its instructions. Disconnect the refrigerator’s power cable from the mains before cleaning. Clean the refrigerator with mild detergent, then dry it with a soft cloth. The manual specifically says not to use abrasive detergents.

The manual notes that smooth operation and equipment life depend mainly on correct, regular maintenance. It also states that replacement components should be like components and that servicing is to be performed by factory-authorized service personnel. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.

Applications

The MCF8733GR is suited to customer-facing refrigerated displays in settings such as convenience stores, cafés, cafeterias and food-service counters. The glass doors and interior lighting make it practical for presenting packaged drinks, grab-and-go items and other chilled merchandise, while the eight shelves let operators organize products across two sections. The lighted header panel can be used to identify the display or communicate product information.
