MSF8302GR

Overview

The Atosa MSF8302GR is a standard-top refrigerated sandwich prep table for commercial kitchens that need a cold ingredient station and enclosed refrigerated storage in one unit. Its 48 1/5-inch width accommodates a row of ingredient pans above a work surface, while two solid, self-closing doors provide access to the refrigerated cabinet below. With 13.4 cubic feet of capacity, the cabinet can hold prepared ingredients and other items needed during service.

The manufacturer lists stainless steel for both the exterior and interior. A rear-mounted compressor uses R290 refrigerant, and the cabinet is built with a concentrated airflow design intended to distribute air evenly around the pans. The specification sheet states that the unit maintains temperatures between 35°F and 38°F and recommends setting the refrigerator within that range for food preservation.

Key Features

• Ingredient access at the work surface: The prep top comes with pre-installed 6-inch-deep poly pans. The product is described as a 12-pan sandwich and salad prep table, with 1/6-size pan positions shown in the manufacturer’s plan view.
• Room for assembly: A 9 1/4-inch cutting board provides a work area beside the ingredient rail for assembling sandwiches, salads and other cold dishes.
• Enclosed refrigerated storage: Two solid, hinged doors open to a cabinet with two shelves. The manufacturer lists one pre-installed shelf per section.
• Temperature control: An electronic temperature controller manages the cabinet. The manufacturer’s specification sheet gives a holding range of 35°F–38°F.
• Airflow and pan support: The concentrated airflow design circulates air around the pans. The unit also has a removable stainless steel pan liner and locking divider bars.
• Door details: The doors have recessed handles, magnetic gaskets for a positive seal, and a self-closing feature with a stay-open function.
• Refrigeration system: The compressor is rear-mounted and uses R290 refrigerant. The product information also describes ventilated refrigeration, automatic evaporation and air defrost.
• Optional accessories: Atosa lists a double overshelf for its 48-inch model size and a 12-inch cross bar, part number 82021902. A night cover is also listed for the MSF8302GR; the spec sheet gives part number MSF8302234000 and dimensions of 45 × 16 1/4 × 2 3/4 inches.

Installation & Requirements

The family installation manual states that the equipment is for commercial use and calls for an electrical supply matching the requirements on the factory label. For the MSF8302GR, the model table lists 115 V, 60 Hz and single-phase power; the product information lists a NEMA 5-15P connection. The manual also specifies a 115 V outlet and grounding protection. Have the site’s supply and outlet checked against the unit’s label before connecting it.

The manual advises placing the cabinet on a flat surface and levelling it for efficient operation. It says the cabinet should be lifted from the exterior of its base and not moved by applying pressure to its surface. If the unit has been positioned horizontally, the manual says to wait two hours before activating it. Keep the condensing unit’s air circulation unobstructed. The manual also says to site the cabinet away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight, and to protect it from rain and drafts. It does not provide a model-specific clearance measurement.

Operation

Use the electronic temperature controller to manage the refrigerated cabinet. The manufacturer recommends a refrigerator setting between 35°F and 38°F for food preservation. The family manual includes operating instructions for an XR06CX controller: press the SET key to display the setpoint, then use the arrow keys to change it and press SET again to save. Because controller variants can differ, check that the controls on the unit match the XR06CX instructions before following those button steps.

The manual’s XR06CX section also describes starting a manual defrost by holding the DEF key for more than two seconds. It describes locking the keypad by holding the specified keys together and unlocking it by holding them again until the display indicates it is unlocked. These instructions apply to the XR06CX control described in the manual. The product information identifies air defrost as part of the refrigeration system, so manual defrost is a control option rather than a claim that routine manual defrost is required.

For day-to-day prep, arrange ingredients in the top pans and use the cutting board for assembly. The cabinet’s two doors provide access to stored product, while the shelves allow items to be separated inside the refrigerated compartment. The door stay-open feature can be used when access is needed during prep; the self-closing action and magnetic gasket help the doors close and seal when released.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The family manual says to clean all parts of the cabinet before use. For walls and internal parts, it specifies an antibacterial detergent; for plastic parts, it specifies a damp cloth. Dry cleaned surfaces with a soft, clean cloth. The manual advises using little or no water and avoiding harsh or abrasive solvents and detergents.

The manual cautions that some parts, including the evaporator and condenser, may have sharp edges. It says to use protective gloves and not to handle these parts with bare hands during cleaning. The manufacturer’s specification sheet separately advises cleaning the condenser frequently so the unit can draw in fresh air. It does not give a fixed cleaning interval.

The manual warns against obstructing ventilation openings and against damaging the refrigerant circuit. It also says refrigerant and insulation blowing gas require special disposal procedures; consult a service agent or similarly qualified person when disposing of the appliance. The manual specifies that component parts should be replaced with like components and that servicing should be performed by factory-authorized service personnel.

Applications

The MSF8302GR suits sandwich counters, cafés, delis, salad stations and other commercial kitchens preparing cold food to order. Its ingredient rail keeps frequently used toppings and fillings close to the work area, while the cutting board supports assembly and the refrigerated cabinet stores additional ingredients below. The two-door, 13.4-cu.-ft. format is useful where a kitchen needs both accessible top-side ingredients and enclosed cold storage in a 48-inch prep-table footprint.
