Frequently asked questions

What electrical connection does the ChefsFirst FU2 need?

The FU2 runs on 115 V, 60 Hz and plugs into a standard grounded NEMA 5-15R outlet using its NEMA 5-15P plug. It draws 2.5 A, so it does not need hardwiring or a 208/230 V circuit.

Is the FU2 a freezer or a refrigerator, and what temperature does it hold?

The FU2 is a freezer that holds -8°F to -1°F. If you need refrigerated storage in the same 48" two-door format, look at the ChefsFirst RU2 undercounter refrigerator.

Will the FU2 fit under a standard 36" countertop?

No. The FU2 is 38-3/8" tall, which is taller than a standard 36" counter. Plan for at least 38-3/8" of vertical clearance and leave open space behind the cabinet for the back-mounted compressor.

Will the FU2 fit through a standard doorway?

Yes. At 30-3/8" deep it goes through a 36" doorway with room to spare, and its 38-3/8" height is well under an 80" door opening.

How much does the FU2 hold?

The FU2 holds 11.1 cu. ft. on two shelves rated for 85 lb each. The interior is 43" wide, 23-3/8" deep and 26-5/8" high.

How does the FU2 compare with other ChefsFirst freezers?

The FU2 is the 48" two-door undercounter freezer. The ChefsFirst FU1 is the 29" one-door version with 6.7 cu. ft. The RU2 is the matching 48" two-door undercounter refrigerator. The F2 is a two-door reach-in freezer with 47.3 cu. ft. for bulk frozen storage.
