1. GENERAL INFORMATION
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The appliance is a vaccine and icepack chest freezer
designed for storage and freezing of vaccine and
icepacks for medical use mainly at high ambient
temperatures. The freezer runs by compressor
230V/50Hz electrical power with refrigerant R134a
and insulated with polyurethane foam with
cyclopentane.
The appliance is built with a compartment for vaccine
load and a smaller fast freeze compartment for
icepack freezing. The refrigerators performance and
inside temperature are controlled by a thermostat.
THERMOMETER
To enable to measure the temperature inside the
cabinet without opening the lid, a thermometer is
provided with its dial on the front side. This makes
monitoring of the vaccine temperature easy.
LOCKING SYSTEM
The appliance is equipped with a lock, operated with
a key.
POWER-SUPPLY
ARRANGEMENT
For smooth functioning of the appliance it is
advisable to connect the same to a 15 Amps power
plug socket outlet, wired from the mains with PVC
insulated cables of minimum 2.5 mm2section of
Aluminium (see also page 2 under `Installation').
The larger size of the plug and socket decreases
the contact resistance which in turn reduces
voltage drop and provides an easy path for the
current.
Safety of the personnel and the equipments can not
be guaranteed unless the earth wire (green/yellow)
of the cord is really earthed. It is advisable to have
the earth connections to the socket checked by a
competent electrician.

2. INSTALLATION
Check the manufacturer's plate at the back of the
appliance and make sure that the appliance has
correct voltage for local supply, i.e. 230 volt (fig. 1 ).
If you have received equipments of wrong voltage
ratings, notify concerned authorities and keep the
equipments repacked.
The appliance is to be installed in a well ventilated
room, avoiding direct sunshine or any other source of
heat. Power supply socket (15 amps socket with
switch, fuse and mains indicator lamp is advisable)
should be available nearest to the place of installation
of the appliance.
1.
Unscrew and remove the screws holding the plastic
grid of the compressor compartment on the right hand
side of the appliance and remove carefully the grid
(fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Connecting the equipment to wrong supply
voltage may damage it.

2. INSTALLATION
2.
EXAMINE the compressor compartment (fig. 3).
Check carefully for any damage, dislocation or
looseness etc. of the components, specially at
locations A, B and C as below and rectify if necessary.
LOCATION A (fig. 4)
Check that all 4 mounting brackets of the compressor
are in place and secured.
LOCATION B (fig 5)
Check that the incoming electrical connections of the
power supply cord to the terminal strip are tight.

2. INSTALLATION
LOCATION C (fig. 6)
Check that the outgoing electrical connections from
the terminal strip are tight.
3.
Refit side cover of the compressor compartment into
position refixing the screws holding the side cover
(fig. 7)
4.
INSTALL firmly the appliance on a level floor,
preferably on wooden blocks or on a wooden platform
to protect it from damp and dirt. (fig. 8)
Leave sufficient space on all sides
of the appliance, keep it away from
the walls for good circulation of air
around it, see below:
Back and left side should be
minimum 3 cm away from the walls
(fig. 8a)
Hinges can be pushed against the
wall.
Right side should be minimum 10
cm away from the wall (fig. 8b)
5.
The appliance has 4 supporting
legs. If the appliance is not in a
level and stable position, adjust this
by adding wooden blocks or similar
under the legs.

NOW THE APPLIANCE IS READY TO START
1.
Install and prepare the appliance as detailed under
`Installation' in the previous chapter.
2.TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature
is maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by
turning the button with a coin that fits the groove.
Turning the thermostat button towards no. 7 makes
the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the
button towards no. 1 makes the temperature
warmer. The inner temperature must not be lower than
-15 °C.

3. HOW TO USE
3. CONTROL PANEL
The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is
connected.
The yellow light is illuminated when the Super button
is depressed.
The red light is illuminated when the temperature in
the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting.
The red alarm light can be due to:
Insertion of a large amount of vaccine/icepack. The
red alarm light will go out after a while.
Opening the lid too long. The red alarm light will go out
after a while.
A defect in the system. See under TROUBLE
SHOOTING
4. OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to
prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and
increasing the amount of frost formed. When the lid is
opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly
warmer and expands. As soon as the lid is closed
again the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to
the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open
the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is
quite normal. Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has
disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently.
Never pull the handle violently.
5.
Allow the appliance to run. The temperature inside the
cabinet will be indicated on the thermometer on the
front side. Observe the temperature from time to time
(fig.12)
6.
Initially the temperature inside the appliance will be
similar to, or slightly below, the room temperature. It
should decrease slowly and should remain steady
within a small range, after 1-3 days, depending upon
different conditions.

3. HOW TO USE
7.
If the cabinet temperature does not reach the required
low level of 2-3 days, the freezer-thermostat setting
can be increased to a higher setting by turning its
knob clockwise.
8.
After storing the vaccines, keep the lid properly closed
and locked (fig. 13).
DEFROSTING & CLEANING
The moisture in the air, which enters the appliance
due to lid opening (and also may be due to defective
lid-gasket or door alignment) is attracted by the cold
surfaces inside the appliance. So, formation of frost
and ice occurs on the walls. When the frost layer is 1
/4" to 1 /2" (6-12 mm) thick, it is time for `defrosting'
the appliance.
MOST IMPORTANT:
Before defrosting the appliance, the vaccines
preserved in it will have to be removed and stored
temporarily in other working freezer.
If a second appliance is not available, the vaccines will
have to be preserved in Cold-Box or Vaccine carrier,
properly lining the same with frozen ice packs, such
that the vaccine temperature remains within the
recommended storage temperature during the
defrosting of the appliance.
DEFROSTING & CLEANING
PROCEDURE
1.
Switch OFF the power supply to the appliance and
remove the plug of its power supply cord from the wall
socket.
2.
Prepare the temporary storage and transfer the
vaccines and preserve them properly with care.
