GDM-72

Overview

The True GDM-72 is a three-section, glass-door swing refrigerator for displaying and holding packaged food and beverages. True identifies it as a glass door merchandiser and describes its refrigeration system as factory balanced, with a cabinet temperature range of 33°F to 38°F (0.5°C to 3.3°C). The three full glass swing doors provide a view of the contents, while LED interior lighting illuminates the cabinet. Its reported capacity is 63 cu. ft.

The model is listed as GDM-72-HC~TSL01 in the manufacturer’s product information and spec sheet. The model name used on this page is True GDM-72.

Key Features

• Three glass swing doors: Double-pane thermal-insulated glass doors have black powder-coated frames. The doors are self-closing and use a torsion-type closure system for a positive seal.
• Visible product display: Safety-shielded LED lighting provides more even illumination through the cabinet. The lower shelf is raised to improve product visibility.
• Adjustable shelving: Twelve heavy-duty PVC-coated wire shelves are supplied. The shelf supports adjust in 1/2 in. increments.
• Merchandiser cabinet construction: The exterior is non-peel, non-chip black powder-coated cold-rolled steel. The interior is white aluminum with a stainless steel floor.
• Insulated cabinet: The cabinet structure is foamed in place with high-density polyurethane insulation. The spec sheet states that the insulation has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP).
• R290 refrigeration: The self-contained, factory-engineered capillary-tube system uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant. The manufacturer’s spec sheet states that R290 has zero ODP and a GWP of 0.02.
• Accessible condensing unit: The condensing unit is bottom mounted, with the condenser coil identified as easily accessible for cleaning.
• Durable frame: A welded, heavy-duty steel frame rail has a black powder-coated finish for corrosion protection and is fitted with leg levelers.
• Additional cabinet details: The cabinet has a built-in clean-out drain. The manufacturer also identifies storage on top of the cabinet as a feature of bottom-mounted units.

Installation & Requirements

The manufacturer’s spec sheet states that the unit is completely pre-wired at the factory and ready for final connection to a 115/60/1-phase, 15 A dedicated outlet. A cord and plug set is included; the listed plug configuration is NEMA 5-15P, and the listed cord length is 9 ft. (2.74 m). Confirm that the planned electrical connection matches the unit’s rating and plug before positioning the cabinet.

Operation

For product presentation, the three glass swing doors expose the cabinet contents, and LED lighting illuminates the interior. The doors close automatically through a torsion-type closure system and have magnetic, one-piece gaskets that the spec sheet describes as removable without tools for cleaning. The 12 supplied shelves are adjustable, allowing the shelf layout to be changed in 1/2 in. increments. The raised lower shelf is identified by True as a “no stoop” shelf that maximizes product visibility.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The manufacturer identifies the condenser coil as easily accessible for cleaning. The cabinet also has a built-in clean-out drain. The door gaskets are removable without tools for cleaning, according to the spec sheet. These are the model-specific cleaning and maintenance details given in the supplied product information; it does not provide a cleaning schedule or step-by-step cleaning procedure for this model.

Applications

The GDM-72 is suited to front-of-house or retail-style display of packaged food and beverages where a large, refrigerated glass-door presentation is useful. True’s spec sheet specifically describes merchandising packaged food and beverages and lists the unit under NSF/ANSI Standard 7 for storage and/or display of packaged or bottled product. The 63 cu. ft. capacity and three-door layout provide a broad display cabinet, while the adjustable shelves accommodate different product arrangements.
