avoid loading products directly in front of the upper fan.
2. Manually record temperature logs once a day, record max and min temperature logs, reset max and
min temp log after recording the values taken.
3. Avoid prolonged door openings, ensure door open time is kept to a minimum ensure door is closed
properly
4. If the cabinet has been recently fully loaded, observe max temperature log, a brief high temperature
alarm may be due to the excessive door open period.
5. If alarms have been triggered, escalate the readings to a responsible person as the medicine/vaccine
may have been damaged.
