The DD-88CG has independent on/off switches for the compressor and interior light. The hinged acrylic lids open the dipping compartment for serving, and the full-length handle provides a continuous grip along the lid. The specified operating temperature range is 5°F to -5°F (-15°C to -21°C). The fluorescent fixtures illuminate the display area; the DD-88 size uses two 36-inch fixtures.
