48-Inch Open-Air Merchandiser

The Magic Chef 48-inch open-air merchandiser displays chilled grab-and-go items in convenience stores, supermarkets and cafes. Its black coated-steel exterior and painted aluminum interior withstand heavy daily traffic. LED-lit shelving highlights products while conserving energy. The unit uses R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant for eco-friendly performance.

Temperature Range and Airflow Limits

Digital controls hold the cabinet between 33°F and 40°F, a narrow band suited to packaged beverages and dairy. Front air intake and rear air discharge require clear space at the front and back; blocking either path reduces cooling consistency. The built-in night cover cuts energy use during closed hours but does not replace daily temperature checks.

R-290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant

This model runs on R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which has lower global-warming potential than many traditional refrigerants. Buyers whose local codes restrict hydrocarbon charges or who need a different refrigerant class should verify compliance before purchase. ETL and ETL Sanitation certification confirms safety and sanitation standards for commercial food service.
