Frequently asked questions

What outlet does the Atosa CHDS-53 need?

It needs a standard 115V grounded NEMA 5-15R outlet. The unit comes with a 5 ft cord and a NEMA 5-15P plug, draws 10.5 amps at 1,250 watts on 60 Hz single-phase power, and does not need to be hardwired.

Is the CHDS-53 heated or refrigerated?

It is a heated display case for hot food, not a refrigerator. The digital controller sets the cabinet temperature anywhere from 86°F to 194°F, and the removable water pan adds humidity so food dries out less while it is held.

How much counter space does it take up?

The case is 28" wide, 22-1/2" deep and 26-1/2" high and stands on 1-1/2" leveling legs. Staff load it through the rear sliding doors, so leave room behind the unit for them to reach in.

How much does it hold?

It holds 5.3 cu. ft. on three stainless steel shelves, with LED lighting so customers can see the product through the square front glass.

What certifications does it have?

It is cETLus listed and ETL-Sanitation listed. cETLus means it meets US and Canadian electrical safety standards. ETL-Sanitation means it meets North American food equipment sanitation standards, which health inspectors look for in a commercial kitchen.

What warranty comes with it?

Atosa covers the CHDS-53 for 1 year of parts and labor from the date it ships from Atosa, under its CookRite Cooking and Holding Equipment warranty. Labor covers standard straight-time rates plus reasonable travel time, as determined by Atosa. Claims go directly to Atosa and must include the model number, serial number and proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage from alteration, neglect, abuse, misuse, accident, transit or installation, fire, flood or acts of God. You can buy an extended warranty from Atosa when you buy the unit.

How does the CHDS-53 compare to the CHDC-44, CHDC-56 and CHDS-71?

The CHDC-44 has the same electrical setup (1,250 W, 10.5 A, NEMA 5-15P) and a similar footprint, but it has curved glass and holds 4.4 cu. ft. The CHDS-71 is the larger square-glass model: it is 35-7/8" wide, holds 7.1 cu. ft., draws 13.7 A at 1,650 W and uses a NEMA 5-20 plug. The CHDC-56 is a curved-glass model that holds 5.6 cu. ft. and also uses a NEMA 5-20 plug. All four have three stainless steel shelves, two rear sliding doors and the same 86°F to 194°F range.

Does it ship free, and how is it delivered?

Yes, this model ships free. It ships on a pallet by freight truck. A lift gate fee applies to large items like this one if you don't have a loading dock and is calculated at checkout.
