Frequently asked questions

What kind of outlet does the ChefsFirst R2 need?

A standard 115V / 60 Hz outlet. The unit has a NEMA 5-15P plug, the same three-prong plug used by most household and commercial appliances, so no special wiring is needed.

How big is it, and will it fit through my doorway?

The exterior is 54.1" wide, 32" deep and 83.5" tall. At 32" deep it passes through a 36" doorway. At 83.5" tall it is taller than a standard 80" door opening, so measure your doorways, hallways and ceiling height before ordering.

What temperature does it hold?

The R2 holds 33°F to 40°F. It is a refrigerator, not a freezer. The freezer in the same two-door size is the ChefsFirst F2.

How much does it hold?

It has 47.3 cu. ft. of capacity, with an interior that measures 50-1/4" W x 24-3/8" D x 60-1/2" H. It fits 12" x 20" hotel pans and comes with six adjustable epoxy-coated shelves that hold 85 lb each.

Is it certified for commercial kitchens?

Yes. It carries the ETL Sanitation mark for commercial food equipment sanitation and the ETL Electrical mark for electrical safety, and it is DOE certified for energy efficiency.

Does ChefsFirst make other sizes?

Yes. The ChefsFirst R1 is the one-door reach-in refrigerator with 21.5 cu. ft., and the ChefsFirst R3 is the three-door reach-in refrigerator.
