Abstract: A method of using a refrigerated appliance can include regulating a temperature of a first insulated enclosure of a first refrigerated portion of the appliance within a first predetermined temperature range, the appliance including the first refrigerated portion and a second refrigerated portion positioned below the first refrigerated portion; moving a closure device of the first refrigerated portion from an open position to a closed position, the closure device configured to selectively cover and limit leakage of air from an ambient environment to and from a second insulated enclosure of the second refrigerated portion; and adjusting a predetermined temperature range of the first insulated enclosure by a predetermined offset value based on a sensor signaling that the closure device is in the closed position.

Abstract: A refrigerated appliance can include a refrigeration system; a first refrigerated portion; a second refrigerated portion positioned below the first refrigerated portion and horizontally adjacent to an evaporating unit of the refrigeration system, the evaporating unit configured to supply air to each of the first refrigerated portion and the second refrigerated portion; a first sensor configured to measure a temperature of air circulated within the first refrigerated portion; a second sensor configured to measure a temperature of air received within the second refrigerated portion; and at least one controller configured to control, at least in part, the temperature of the air received within the first refrigerated portion within a first predetermined temperature range and the temperature of the air received within the second refrigerated portion within a second predetermined temperature range.

Abstract: A refrigeration unit includes: a front portion; a rear portion distal from the front portion; a cooling table section extending from the rear portion towards the front portion; an upper portion positioned between the front portion and the rear portion, positioned above the cooling table portion, and defining a circumferential opening configured to receive a storage container; a lower region distal from and below the upper portion and at least partially separated from the upper portion by the cooling table section defining a plenum defining holes allowing passage of air from the plenum of the cooling table section to the upper portion of the refrigeration unit, the lower region configured for food storage; and an evaporator section proximate to the rear portion and configured to circulate air to the cooling table section.
