MGF8402GR

Overview

The Atosa MGF8402GR is a two-door commercial undercounter refrigerator for kitchens that need refrigerated storage close to a work area. Its 48-inch-wide cabinet provides 13.4 cu. ft. of capacity beneath a reinforced stainless steel top. The two solid doors provide access to the interior, while the undercounter format can be useful in a kitchen line, bar, or service area where storage needs to remain within reach.

The cabinet has a stainless steel exterior and interior. Atosa’s specification sheet lists two shelves for this model; its standard-features description says one shelf is pre-installed per section. The listed temperature range on the specification sheet is 35°F–38°F. The manual’s technical table separately lists +1°C to +8°C for the MGF8402GR.

Key Features

• Two solid doors: The two-section cabinet provides access to refrigerated storage from the front.
• Stainless steel construction: The specification sheet identifies a stainless steel exterior and interior, with a reinforced stainless steel top.
• Electronic temperature controller: The controller provides setpoint adjustment and temperature display functions.
• Door details: Recessed handles, self-closing doors with a stay-open feature, and magnetic door gaskets are listed as standard features.

Installation & Requirements

The manual specifies a 115V outlet for the electrical connection. Before connecting the refrigerator, check that the supply matches the requirements on the factory label and that it has full-safety protection or an automatic circuit breaker. The manual also identifies a grounding terminal. The unit is listed as 115V, 60Hz, single phase.

Place the cabinet on a flat surface and level it using the adjustable leveling legs described in the manual. The manual says to lift the cabinet from the exterior of the base and not to move it by pressing on its surface. If the unit has been positioned horizontally, wait two hours before activating it.

The manual says not to install the equipment in an explosive environment or outdoors where it may be exposed to rain. Keep it away from direct heat sources, direct lighting, direct sunlight, and drafts. Air must circulate freely around the condensing unit. The source does not specify a numerical clearance. Defrost water dispersal is automatic on models with an integral condensing unit.

Operation

Atosa recommends setting the refrigerator between 35°F and 38°F for food preservation. The electronic controller displays the temperature and allows the setpoint to be viewed or changed. The manual identifies the controller as an XR06CX model.

To view the setpoint, press and immediately release the SET key, or wait about five seconds for the display to return to its normal view. To change the setpoint, press SET for more than two seconds. When the value appears and the temperature indicator flashes, use the controller’s arrow keys to adjust it. Press SET again to save, or wait ten seconds for the display to return to normal.

The manual also describes a manual defrost function: press and hold the DEF key for more than two seconds to start manual defrost. It outlines controller parameter programming, including selecting a parameter, viewing it with SET, changing its value with the arrow keys, and storing the change with SET. The manual says the controller exits parameter programming after 15 seconds without a key press. Follow the controller instructions in the manual when using these functions.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Before first use, the manual calls for cleaning the cabinet. For walls and interior parts, it specifies an antibacterial detergent. For plastic parts, use a damp cloth with little or no water, then dry with a soft, clean cloth. The manual cautions against harsh or abrasive solvents and detergents.

During cleaning, the manual warns that parts such as the evaporator and condenser may have sharp edges. It instructs users to wear protective gloves and avoid touching those parts with bare hands. Atosa’s specification sheet also advises cleaning the condenser frequently to provide it with more airflow; it does not give a fixed cleaning interval.

The manual states that replacement components should be like components and that servicing should be performed by factory-authorized service personnel. It also identifies R290 refrigerant and warns that refrigerant and insulation blowing gas require special disposal procedures. For disposal, it directs users to consult a service agent or similarly qualified person.

Applications

The MGF8402GR can provide refrigerated storage in commercial kitchens, bars, and food-service work areas where a two-door undercounter cabinet is useful. Its listed capacity and two sections offer space for stored ingredients or other refrigerated products, while the top can serve as part of a work area. The unit is a refrigerator, not a freezer; the manual warns against placing glass products in a freezer because they may break when their contents freeze.
