Its air-cooled system ensures reliable operation in busy kitchens without water connections, while the stainless steel interior withstands frequent cleaning and food contact. Weighing 205 pounds, this countertop unit measures 16 inches in width, 29.8 inches in depth, and 25 inches in height, with an adjustable footing for stability. The product features include a touch-control interface, smart menu management, external air filtration, and a robust exterior finish for long-term commercial use.
