The cabinet construction includes hinges that allow the doors to stay open at 120 degrees. There is a digital thermometer on the door to monitor the interior cabinet temperature. The sneeze guard assembly is made of stainless steel and clear plastic. The dual-sided countertop is constructed of stainless steel for added durability. Two epoxy-coated steel wire shelves are included per door section. The doors have a plug-in type vinyl magnetic gasket for a positive seal. The cabinet insulation is CFC and HCFC-free foamed-in-place polyurethane. The exterior construction is heavy-duty stainless steel on all sides.

The refrigeration system is more robust and provides added capacity and efficiency. An automatic condensate evaporator is provided to eliminate the need for floor drains. The forced air from the evaporator is moved under the pans, which are recessed 2 inches from the top of the cabinet. The forced air over the condenser is drawn through the grille under the door, as well as the back and bottom of the cabinet. The system uses CFC-free R134a refrigerant and a capillary tube between the condenser and evaporator. The unit is designed and tested to hold food product below 41 degrees Fahrenheit in an 86-degree Fahrenheit ambient temperature, according to the 2009 NSF/ANSI 7 standard. Food must be pre-chilled before placing it into the pans.
