DD-88

Overview

The Master-Bilt DD-88 is a commercial ice cream dipping and display merchandiser for serving counters in ice cream shops, dessert businesses and other foodservice settings. Its standard-glass configuration presents the dipping compartment behind a tempered plate-glass viewing window. A stainless steel serving deck and top provide the working and serving surfaces, while fluorescent interior lighting illuminates the cans.

The cabinet has room to display 16 three-gallon cans and store 12 more. Hinged, transparent acrylic lids cover the dipping compartment; each lid has a full-length handle. The DD-88 operates on 115V and uses R-404A refrigerant. Its stated temperature range is 5°F to -5°F.
