It is not considered a medical device and, therefore, has not been registered with a regulatory body of
medical devices, that is, it has not been evaluated for the storage of samples for diagnostic use or for the
samples to be reintroduced into the medical device body. This unit is not designed for use in unclassified
hazardous locations or for the storage of flammable elements.
WARNINGS: This unit is not a fast freezing device. Freezing large amounts of liquid or high water
content elements will temporarily increase the temperature of the chamber and cause the
compressors to run for a prolonged period of time.
Avoid opening the door for extended periods of time as the temperature of the air chamber will
increase rapidly. Also, keep the interior doors closed as much as possible. When ambient air, which is
more humid, replaces the air in the chamber, the creation of ice can develop in the chamber more
quickly.

MAN-U-CLF86-EN Revisi0n: 03 16/02/2023
WARNING!: For battery replacement information, see section 11.2.
It is very important that the apparatus perfectly is made level for a correct operation, so that the water-
drainages drain correctly, the doors are aligned, and the unit is not put under illegal tensions.
In this case, it must make sure that the ground where the unit is located is at level. In order to be able
to work of stable form, to adjust to the legs leg to make sure that the equipment stable and is made level.
To verify that the door is sealed, follow the steps below:
1. Opening the door.
2. Insert a strip of paper between the rubber gasket and the rubber gasket profile, and close the door.
3. Slowly remove the paper strip from the outside. While doing so, you should feel a little resistance.
4. Repeat this operation at 10 cm intervals covering the entire door frame. If the door does not close
properly, the gasket needs to be replaced or the door needs to be adjusted.
CAUTION! Hermetic door sealing is essential for ultra low freezer to function properly. Faulty sealing
allows humid air inside the device, which results in the accumulation of moisture in the evaporator,
resulting in poor temperature maintenance, increased operating time, and increased operating costs.

MAN-U-CLF86-EN Revisi0n: 03 16/02/2023
All the equipment of ultra low temperature has 120mm of insulation core encapsulated by a sealed film
laminate. In the case of CLF, only 120mm of insulation.
Be careful, never drill holes in or near the walls of the body. The perforation could damage the
vacuum and make the unit inoperable.
When an outer door of the ultra low freezer is opened at low temperature, the air at room temperature
quickly enters the interior. When the door closes again, the volume of air at room temperature cools down
quickly, dropping the pressure below atmospheric pressure, resulting in a considerable vacuum. The opening of
the outer door is impossible until the internal pressures return to atmospheric pressure. Without a pressure
equalizing mechanism, it can take, in extreme cases, several hours before the door can easily reopen.
All ultra low temperature equipment has a valve that provides vacuum relief after the door openings.
See the picture below to check the location of the pressure compensation valve.
