Arctic Air ARCB48 Description
The Arctic Air ARCB48 chef base accommodates large equipment on its stainless steel top and keeps items stored in its cabinet cold. Its insulated design prevents heat from transferring into the refrigerated cabinet. Marine edges around the top keep messes contained and off the floor.
This unit has two drawers with stainless steel components and liners. To facilitate cleanup, the magnetic drawer gaskets are removable, and the exterior front and sides are constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel. This Arctic Air ARCB48 chef base holds consistent temperatures ranging from 33 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and operators can control this level with the electronic thermostat. An LED display clearly displays the temperature.

"I purchased 2 units. The condensing unit is located too close to temperature probes causing failure twice within 1st year. There is no airflow that would extend the life of these units. One of the units also has trouble with drawers ability to maintain integrity, made with 21 gauge stainless steel when it should have been made with 16 gauge. Wall mounts for drawer slide are so thin they rip away from the wall of the unit. the drawer rails connectors are weak and have actually broken off. Very cheap/poor construction. In both units, the drawer faces are secured with tiny screws and faces will also have to be repaired if you purchase this item. In 18 months, I have spent $1500 in repairs and the drawers still do not slide properly because I can not replace the exterior s/s walls that the rails attach to."
