A Classic Stainless Steel Open Air Merchandiser
The Omcan 43459 is a 36" open air refrigerator with a 430 stainless steel exterior. It offers 18.7 cu. ft. (530 L) of refrigerated display space in a 36" footprint that suits cafés, delis, convenience stores and office cafeterias. The bright stainless finish matches existing kitchen and food service equipment and gives your self-serve area a clean, professional look.
Easy-to-Clean 430 Stainless Steel
The 430 stainless steel exterior resists daily wear, wipes clean quickly and keeps a consistent look alongside other stainless equipment in your operation. LED lighting under each shelf, plus an illuminated header, puts every product in full view and gives you a bright space to display your brand or menu. Tempered glass side panels open the case up so customers can see product from the aisle.
Consistent Temperatures All Day
A ventilated cooling system with automatic defrost delivers even airflow from top to bottom, while the digital temperature controller and display hold product within 2°C to 10°C (35.6°F to 50°F). Eco-friendly R290 refrigerant provides efficient, environmentally responsible cooling.
Turn Browsers Into Buyers
An open front removes the barrier of a door, letting customers see, reach and buy in a single motion. That speed matters during breakfast and lunch rushes, when lines move faster and staff can focus on preparing food instead of handing out bottled drinks and packaged meals. Place the 43459 near the entrance or beside the register to capture impulse purchases, and use the illuminated header to promote combos, daily specials or new items.
Built for Daily Service
Four adjustable shelves let you organize drinks, salads, sandwiches and desserts by category, and four casters make the 43459 easy to move for cleaning. A pull-down night curtain closes the open front after hours to hold cold air in and reduce energy use. It plugs into a standard 120V outlet with a NEMA 5-20P plug for simple installation. It is cETLus and ETL Sanitation certified and backed by 2 years parts and labour plus 5 years compressor coverage.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from operators.
What makes the Omcan 43459 better than a glass door merchandiser?
An open air refrigerator removes the door between your customer and the product. Shoppers can see and grab items in one motion, which speeds up lines and typically lifts impulse sales of drinks, salads and sandwiches compared with a glass door cooler. The 43459 pairs that open front with 18.7 cu. ft. (530 L) of display space, ventilated cooling, LED lighting and a night curtain, so you get self-serve convenience without giving up temperature control.
What is the difference between the Omcan 43459 and the 48265?
The 43459 and 48265 share the same 36" size, 18.7 cu. ft. capacity, cooling system, lighting and shelving. The only difference is the exterior finish: the 43459 is 430 stainless steel, while the 48265 is black. Choose the finish that best matches your décor and existing equipment.
Where should an open air refrigerator be installed?
Open air cases hold temperature best away from direct sunlight, entrance doors, heat-producing equipment and strong HVAC drafts, which can pull cold air out of the open front. Leave the ventilation clearances listed in the product manual, keep product below the load line, and use the night curtain when the store is closed to reduce energy use and help the unit hold temperature.
