Frequently asked questions
What outlet does the Omcan 50072 need?
It needs a standard NEMA 5-15R receptacle (15 A, 120V class) for its NEMA 5-15P plug. It is rated 110V / 60 Hz / 1-phase and draws 3.9 A, and the cord is 7.4 ft long.
Will it fit through a standard doorway?
Yes. Once it is out of its packaging, the 32" depth clears a 36" doorway and the 25" height is well under an 80" door opening. The packed unit is 36" deep, so you may need to unpack it before moving it through a 36" door.
Is this a refrigerator or a freezer?
It is a refrigerator. It holds 33°F to 41°F (0.5°C to 5°C), the normal range for cold food holding. It does not freeze.

Each of the four drawers holds two full-size 12" x 20" x 4" pans, for eight pans total. The cabinet has 13.6 cu. ft. (385 L) of storage.
What certifications does it have?
It is cETLus listed for electrical safety in the US and Canada, and ETL Sanitation listed, which means it meets food equipment sanitation standards that health inspectors check for.
What warranty comes with it?

It also excludes installation adjustments such as leveling and utility connections, and it does not apply to residential installations. The warranty cannot be transferred and is valid only in the country of purchase.
