About your BFRV55
The SunDanzer BFRV55 is a World Health Organizon pre-qualid Solar Direct-Drive Baer-Free Refrigerator
designed for vaccine storage. It connects directlto the photovoltaic (PV) solar ar and requires no baeries
or charge controllers to operate. Temperatures are maintained using a proprietarphase-change material,
which ensures the vaccine compartment alwas sts between 2° C and 8° C.
East/West Array
One of the innovve features of the SunDanzer direct drive sstem is an east/west orientaon of the solar
modules (available separat). Two 100-wamodules face east, and two 100-w modules face west. This
orientaon ensures maximum compressor run me. For further informaon, please see the solar installaon
manual.

Prior to Installaon
Upon deliver, v the appliance is complete and was not damaged during transport. Do not connect an
appliance if the electrical supp cables or refrigerant circuit is damaged. Contact SunDanzer or our local
product dealer for assistance.
General Safety
The appliance is heav; take care when moving.
Alwas power ohe unit using the switch on the front of the refrigerator. Wait 5 minuteser
powering oto allow the capacitor to drain to a safe voltage.
When moving or servicing, disconnect the refrigerator from the solar power.
Ensure the electrical cord does not become bent and the unit is not placed on top of the cord.
Do not store ancontainers withammable vapors or liquids in or around the appliance, such as organic
solvents, spr cans, gas cans, etc. Danger of explosion!
Do not use other electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.
Onluse an authorized refrigon technician to service the appliance. Use of an unauthorized
technician mavoid the warran.
The appliance contains R-134a refrigerant and Polol Esters lubricant oil in the refrigerant circuit line.
Care must be taken when handling the appliance to prevent damage to the circuit.
Child Safety
There is DANGER OF SUFFOCATION if a child becomes trapped inside! Keep children from playing
in, on, or around the appliance and securely lock when not in use.
Post Instaon
Allow the appliance to sele for 2 hours before turning on to allow the refrigerant oil to se
If the appliance has been standing on the side or end, allow it to stand in the upright posion for 12
hours before turning on.
The unit has an on-oswitch located on the front of the unit. The switch should remain in the “on”
posion r installaon.

Starng the Appliance
Aer the appliance has been properlconnected to the 12 VDC power source and the sun is shining, the
compressor will automcallturn on and the cabinet will begin cooling.
Allow the refrigerator to cool for at least 3 days prior to adding vaccines to ensure it has had enough
me to cool the thermal storage packs.
Holdover
This unit is equipped with thermal storage packs to provide cooling when the appliance lacks power
In the case of power failure, monitor the externallmounted thermometer.
The approximate holdover me the internal temperature will remain within temperature range if the
thermal storage packs begin ful frozen:

Temperature Control
The temperature within the appliance is controlled ba sensor situated below the perforated aluminum
oor. The appliance automldetects ambient condons and no temperature adjustment is
necessar.

Opening and Closing the Lid
NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ONINSET HANDLE TO OPEN THE LID!
To ensure maximum performance of the appliance the lid should remain closed.
The lid is ed with a uniform sealing strip to prevent warm air and moisture from entering the
appliance compartment.
Be sure the lid and seal are free from obstrucons.
Ovlling or unlevel installon of the appliance will prevent a good seal.
When the lid is opened, the air inside the appliance becomes slightlwarmer and expands. When the
lid is closed again, the air is cooled quickland contracts. This malead to a vacuum and diult
opening the lid immediatelwhich is normal. Wait for a few moments une vacuum has equalized
and then open gentl.

Loading Appliance
Before adding vaccine be sure the internal temperature is within the acceptable range of 2°C to 8°C.
Allow the cabinet to cool for at least 3 sunny days aer inial installaon before adding vaccines. This
ensures the appliance has had enough me to cool the thermal storage packs.
Do not place anvaccine above the marked maximuml line.
Alwas keep vaccines storedghtlsealed packaging or containers and allow some space for air to
circulate around them.
Cleaning Appliance
Never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, chemical cleaning agents, or
high perfumed cleaning products to clean the unit as these will damage the surface and leave behind a strong
odor.
Wash the outside of the cabinet with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.
Defrog is not necessar.
Wipe down or drain condenon from unit compartment weekl. D vaccine boxes as necessar.
Remove the aluminum oor cover and use drcloth to absorb anstanding water or condensaon.
Wash the inside of the appliance with 1-liter lukewarm water and two tablespoons baking soda appng
with a sosponge or towel.

Diagnos and Repair Procedures
Normal Operang Sounds
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped around the cabinet and ou will hear a whirring
sound or pung noise from the compressor.
Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
Compressor is operang but will not
cool unit.
Allow the appliance at least 3 das from ini turn-on to
become cold.
Verifthe cabinet has adequate vaon around the
sidewalls allowing it to transfer heat prop. (See
Inon secon).
Verifthe ambient temperature is not exceeding the rated
temperature range of 5°F (-15°C) to 113°F (45°C).
Verifrefrigerant level is ~198g.Check for refrigerant leaks.
Compressor is connected to power,
but not operang.
Check if 19 to 22V DC is present at the appliance. If not,
check all connecons.
Check the polaritis correct; “+” is connected to “+”, and “-“
to “-“.
VerifPV sstem is assembled improp.
VerifECU connecons are correct.
Check for low power voltage.
The lid will not open.
Ensure the lock is not engaged.
Check if the lid has just been opened. If so, leave for a few
minutes to allow the air pressure to equalize and tragain.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE INSET HANDLE TO
OPEN THE LID!
Digital Thermostat is blinking, but
compressor is not opng.
See chart on Fault Code Errors for the compressor ECU.
Compressor immediatelturns o
(i.e., 1-minute intervals).
Check capacitor for possible failure.
Check voltage at capacitor.
Yellow/orange liquid at boom of
cabinet.
Check for phase change material leaking.
