Undercounter Freezers

Be sure, however, to also consider the compressor location when measuring the width of your space because you may also need to include six to eight inches in clearance to allow the compressor to operate properly. Typically, the compressor for undercounter freezers can be located on either the sizes or in the rear, but many undercounter freezers today are equipped with front-breathing compressors to minimize the amount of clearance required. It is also important to note that undercounter freezers should not be used as a food preparation surface. Though the tops may be made out of stainless steel, it is not food-grade stainless steel, so allowing raw food to contact the surface may lead to contamination. If you need a freezer with a food-safe work surface on top, check out our selection of worktop freezers.
