- Hot Food Holding Cabinets
- Solid-door Refrigerators and Freezers
- Ice Machines

## Why Buy ENERGY STAR?

- High quality performance
- ENERGY STAR qualified food service equipment can cost the same as standard equipment. And, any additional cost is usually paid-back in energy savings within three years.
- Qualified equipment uses less energy                                                    so it costs less to operate.
- Save time and serve more
-        –  Qualified food service equipment
-             has shorter cook times and
-             higher production rates, allowing
-             you to prepare more meals in
-             less time.

## Saving Energy HelpsProtect the Environment

- ENERGY STAR qualified food service equipment helps prevent global warming by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions  caused by burning fossil fuels at power plants.
- Restaurants that invest strategically can cut utility costs 10-30% without sacrificing service, quality, style or comfort—all while making significant contributions to a cleaner environment.
