Welcome to Follett
Follett equipment enjoys a well-deserved reputation for excellent performance, long-term reliability and outstanding
after-the-sale support. To ensure that this product delivers that same degree of service, we ask that you take a
moment to review this manual before beginning the installation. Should you have any questions or require technical
help at any point, please call our technical service group at [phone] or [phone].
Before you begin
After uncrating and removing all packing material, inspect the equipment for concealed shipping damage. If damage
is found, notify the shipper immediately and contact Follett LLC so that we can help in the ling of a claim, if
necessary.
Check your paperwork to determine which conguration you have. Follett conguration numbers are designed to
provide information about the type of refrigerator you are receiving.

Refrigeration System
The REFVAC20/25 series refrigeration system is designed to give many years of trouble-free service. Except for
routine cleaning of the air-cooled condenser and related parts, the refrigeration system requires no service or
maintenance. The system uses a capillary tube metering device and is critically charged. Access ttings are not
provided. Temporary piercing valves are required to work on the refrigeration system. Follett recommends that if
hoses are ever connected to the refrigeration system for service, the refrigerant should be recovered, permanent
access valves should be installed and the system evacuated, and recharged by weighing in the correct refrigerant
charge (refrigerant R134a, 11.4 oz (322g).
Note: Do not charge the system by pressures.
Ambients
Intended for indoor use where ambient temperature, measured at the condenser inlet, does not exceed 80 F
(27C) and ambient relative humidity does not exceed 60% RH. A heated door is recommended for higher humidity
ambients.
Clearances
The top of the refrigerator must have 10 inches (25.4 cm) of clear space above the refrigerator to ensure proper
ventilation of the refrigeration system.
The back of the refrigerator should have 1 inch (2.5 cm) of clearance to allow for power cord clearance on unit and
an additional 1 inch (2.5 cm) if the unit is to be plugged in directly behind the refrigerator.

Installation
DANGER
• Do not tilt any unit further than 30° off vertical during uncrating or
installation
• Refrigeration module area contains mechanical, moving parts. Keep
hands and arms clear of this area at all times. If access to this area is
required, power to unit must be disconnected rst.
Fig. 1
1. Remove key taped to side of refrigerator cabinet and unlock door.
2. Remove casters from box packed inside refrigerator.
Note: California facilities requiring wall and oor anchors – refer to
wall anchor kit instructions (#00938241) packed with seismic kit
before proceeding with caster installation.
3. Unbolt refrigerator from pallet.
4. Rotate refrigerator on pallet to install casters (Fig. 1.1).
5. Install casters by hand one at a time using channel locks to tighten,
until caster meets against the bottom of cabinet (Fig. 1.2).
6. Peel protective lm from exterior walls of stainless cabinet.
Adjust self-closing door
Fig. 2
1. Roll refrigerator to desired location and lock as many casters as
possible (Fig 2.1).
2. If the door appears to be sagging, remove the philips screw
(Fig.2.2) holding the Hold Open Bracket to the Hinge Bracket to
gain access to the Sag Adjustment Screw (Fig. 2.3). Turn the Sag
Adjustment Screw to align the door squarely with the freezer cabinet.
When nished, reinstall the Hold Open Bracket.
3. Check door for closing tension and adjust if necessary. To
check closing tension, open door 1” and turn screw (Fig. 2.4)
counterclockwise until you achieve positive close. (Light will go out)
Then, turn another half turn counterclockwise.
Install shelves (if equipped) and power up
Fig. 3
1. If refrigerator is equipped with shelves, remove bag containing
shelves supports and position them in desired locations on each
pilaster and insert shelves (Fig. 3).
2. Plug refrigerator into a 115 V 60 Hz 15A dedicated outlet.

ATTENTION INSTALLER
§It is imperative that the top/bottom probe bottle be lled with a solution
that your facility uses to ensure proper operation of unit.
§Units are equipped with a third-party monitor installation port.
Customers are required to refer to CDC Vaccine and Handling Toolkit
(cdc.gov) for proper placement of the probe within the cabinet to
ensure proper performance.
§NSF 456 requires the temperature display probe (P4-RTD1 in
REF12, REF20/25, FZR20/25, and REF45 models) to be replaced or
recalibrated. Follett recommends replacement/recalibration 12 months
from the original date of calibration on the Certicate of Traceability
supplied with your equipment at the time of purchase. Recalibration
or purchasing a new calibrated probe is not covered by the original
equipment warranty. To purchase a new Probe with Certicate of
Traceability, please contact our Parts Department @ 1-877-612-5086
or [e-mail]
