Blue Air BLUR60-D2L-HC 60" Undercounter Refrigerator, Left-Hand Drawer Bank with Shelved Door
Blue Air BLUR60-D2L-HC — 60" Undercounter Refrigerator with the Drawers on the Left
Handedness is the whole reason this model exists: the BLUR60-D2L-HC is Blue Air Commercial Refrigeration's left-hand build of its 60-3/8" two-section lowboy, putting the pair of 6" pan drawers at the left end and the epoxy-coated wire shelving behind a self-closing door on the right. Inside is 16.7 cu. ft. held between 33 °F and 39 °F, and underneath is a rear-mounted 1/4 HP self-contained system running R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant off a standard 115 V, 5.0 amp circuit. Stainless inside and out, on four 4" swivel casters.
Key Features of the BLUR60-D2L-HC
Specify the D2L when the cook stands to the left of this cabinet — then look at what Blue Air puts behind the panels to keep a 60-inch box even end to end.
Pan Drawers at the Left End of the Cabinet
The L in the model code fixes the two-drawer bank to the left end, which matters on a line where the cook's working position, the counter run or an adjacent range dictates which hand reaches for product. Both drawers are sized around 6" deep insert pans and carry Ni-Cr plated all-metal handles that Blue Air guarantees for the life of the unit. Order the mirrored D2R instead if the drawers belong on the right — the build is fixed at the factory.
Shelved Door Compartment on the Right
Everything that does not belong in a pan goes into the right-hand section: epoxy-coated wire shelves on adjustable supports, behind a self-closing door with a snap-in gasket that a manager can replace without a service call. Two shelves come with the compartment, and additional shelves are available from Blue Air if you stack light cases rather than tall containers.
Rear-Wall Air Guard for Even Cabinet Temperature
Sixty inches is enough width for one end of a lowboy to run warmer than the other, so Blue Air fits an air guard along the rear wall to direct circulation across the full cabinet. Combined with an electrodeposition-coated evaporator that holds its heat-transfer rate as the coil ages and resists corrosion in a wet kitchen, that is what keeps both the drawer end and the door end inside the same 33 °F to 39 °F band.
Self-Diagnostic Digital Control with Door-Open Alarm
A self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system runs the box, reads out on a front-mounted digital display and includes a manual defrost so a wash-down can be timed to your schedule. Visual and audible alarms trigger when a drawer or the door has not shut fully — a genuinely useful feature on a cabinet with three separate openings that all get bumped during service.
R-290 Charge and Hot-Gas Frame Heating
The sealed system uses R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with no ozone depletion potential, and the walls are foamed with cyclopentane that contains no HFCs. Instead of an electric anti-sweat wire, Blue Air routes hot discharge gas through the cabinet frame to keep the drawer and door openings dry in humid air, which puts waste heat to work rather than adding load to the 5.0 amp circuit.
Four Swivel Casters and a Sliding Condensing Unit
The 247 lb cabinet rides on four 4" diameter swivel casters with brakes on the front pair, so it rolls out for floor cleaning and rolls back into position. The rear-mounted condensing unit sits on an easy-sliding assembly that pulls out for coil cleaning, and the 9.8 ft (3 m) cord gives real freedom in where the receptacle lands. Blue Air lists 2.5" casters as an option where installed height is tight.
Check the handedness against the floor plan first: D2L and D2R are not the same unit turned around — the drawer bank and the door section are built into fixed ends and cannot be swapped on site, so confirm which side your cook works from before the order goes in. For the rough opening, the cutsheet's 30" depth excludes 3" for the door handle and rear spacers, and the 30-29/32" (785 mm) body height excludes 5" (127 mm) of caster, giving about 33" of usable depth allowance and 35-29/32" (912 mm) installed. Net weight is 247 lbs, 304 lbs crated.
Ideal Applications
A left-hand drawer bank earns its keep wherever the station's traffic flows right to left.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the D2L suffix mean on the BLUR60-D2L-HC?
D2 identifies the two-drawer, one-door layout and the L identifies the hand: the drawer bank is built into the left end of the 60-3/8" cabinet and the shelved swing door occupies the right. Blue Air's BLUR60-D2R-HC is the same refrigerator mirrored. Neither version can be converted after the fact, so the choice comes down to which side of the cabinet your cook actually stands on.
How cold does this undercounter refrigerator hold, and how is it controlled?
The cabinet is rated for 33 °F to 39 °F, managed by a self-diagnostic digital temperature control and monitor system with a digital display on the front. Manual defrost is built into the controls so it can be run at a convenient point in the day rather than on a fixed timer. If a drawer or the door is left ajar, visual and audible alarms sound before the box loses its holding temperature.
What are the true installed dimensions for planning a counter opening?
The published exterior is 60-3/8" wide, 30" deep and 30-29/32" (785 mm) high, but those last two figures exclude 3" for the door handle and rear spacers and 5" (127 mm) for the standard casters. In practice, allow about 33" of depth and 35-29/32" (912 mm) of height, which clears a 36" counter with a small margin. The 2.5" caster option is available if your opening is tighter than that.
How many pans and shelves does the BLUR60-D2L-HC hold?
Each of the two left-hand drawers is dimensioned for 6" deep insert pans, so standard full-size and fractional 6" inserts drop straight in. The right-hand door section comes with two epoxy-coated wire shelves on adjustable supports, and Blue Air sells additional shelves separately if you want to divide the 16.7 cu. ft. differently for case stock.
Is R-290 refrigerant a problem to service or install?
No. R-290 is a hydrocarbon refrigerant with no ozone depletion potential and a very low global warming potential, charged in the small quantity a 1/4 HP self-contained system needs. Any commercial refrigeration technician working on current equipment handles it routinely. The practical benefit for an operator is that this cabinet is not exposed to the HFC phase-down schedules that are pushing older R-134a equipment toward obsolescence.
What clearance does the rear-mounted condensing unit need?
Because the compressor sits at the back of the cabinet, the BLUR60-D2L-HC should not be boxed tightly into millwork on all sides — the condenser needs air and periodic cleaning. The condensing unit is mounted on an easy-sliding assembly so it can be drawn out for service, and the four swivel casters let you roll the 247 lb refrigerator forward far enough to work behind it. Rear spacers already build in 3" of standoff.
