MSF8303GR

Overview

The Atosa MSF8303GR is a two-section, 60-inch refrigerated standard-top sandwich and salad prep table. It brings ingredient pans, a work surface and refrigerated cabinet storage together in one commercial kitchen unit. The top accommodates 16 pre-installed, 6-inch-deep poly pans, while the 9-1/4-inch poly cutting board provides a work surface for assembling sandwiches, salads and other cold-prep orders.

The cabinet has a stated capacity of 17.2 cu. ft. and two solid hinged, self-closing doors. Its rear-mounted, self-contained refrigeration system uses R290 refrigerant. Atosa describes a concentrated airflow design intended to distribute air evenly around the pans, and lists an electronic temperature controller and a removable stainless steel pan liner.

Installation & Requirements

The supplied manual says to check that the electrical supply matches the equipment’s factory label and identifies an AC 115 V outlet. The service description lists a 115 V, 60 Hz, single-phase connection, 2.8 A and a NEMA 5-15P plug for this model. The manual also calls out a grounding terminal.

If the unit has been positioned horizontally, the manual says to wait two hours before starting it. It cautions against installation in an explosive environment and says the appliance should be protected from rain, direct sunlight, direct heat sources and draughts. Air circulation around the condensing unit must be maintained. The manual does not provide a clearance measurement for this model.

Operation

The table uses an electronic temperature controller. Atosa’s product sheet gives a recommended preservation setting of 35°F–38°F, but the supplied manual’s technical table and a retailer listing give different temperature figures; consult the unit’s own product information when confirming its operating setting.

The manual section for the XR06CX controller describes viewing a set point by pressing and promptly releasing the SET key. To change it, hold SET for more than two seconds, adjust the displayed value with the arrow keys, then press SET again to save or wait for the display to return. It also describes starting a manual defrost by holding the DEF key for more than two seconds. For parameter changes, the manual describes entering programming mode by holding the indicated keys for three seconds, selecting a parameter, using SET and the arrow keys to view and adjust it, and pressing SET to store a value. It says the programming screen exits after 15 seconds without a key press. The key-lock instructions describe holding the indicated key combination for more than three seconds; the display shows “OF” when locked and “on” when unlocked.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Before first use, the manual says to clean the cabinet walls and internal parts with an antibacterial detergent, clean plastic parts with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft, clean cloth. It advises using little or no water and avoiding harsh or abrasive solvents and detergents. During cleaning, the manual warns that parts such as the evaporator and condenser can have sharp edges and says to use protective gloves when approaching them.

Atosa’s product sheet recommends cleaning the condenser frequently. Keep the condensing unit’s airflow unobstructed, as the manual states that air circulation around it is necessary for operation. The manual also says not to use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate defrosting beyond those recommended by the manufacturer, and not to damage the refrigerant circuit.

Applications

The MSF8303GR suits commercial kitchens that need refrigerated ingredients immediately beside a prep surface. Its pan rail and cutting board support sandwich and salad assembly, while the cabinet provides additional chilled storage for ingredients. It can serve a deli, café, restaurant or institutional kitchen cold-prep station where staff assemble orders from portioned ingredients.
