The top for the cabinet, which is arranged to be sealingly engaged with the cabinet, has at least a portion thereof which is transparent to allow a user to view at least a portion of the refrigerated space without opening the panel. In an embodiment, a removable cover may be provided which is sized to overlie the cabinet top.
