property damage.
Shock Hazard
Use of this equipment involves power supplies which convert line voltage
to low voltage power. Do not modify or use power supplies other than
OEM equipment. Connection of the power supply may require a properly
grounded receptacle. otential for electrical shock or equipment damage
exists if precautions are not followed.
Frost bite/ Low
Temperature
Avoid contact with cold freezer surfaces potential for cold burns or skin
sticking to cold surfaces.
DANGER RISK OF CHILD ENTRA MENT Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:
• Take off doors
• Leave the shelves in the place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Intended Use
The Refrigerators/Freezers described in this manual are for
professional use only. These products are intended for use in
research for the storage of samples or inventory in the following
temperature ranges:
Refrigerators +1°C to +12°C
Freezers -12°C to -20°C
These are not considered medical devices and have therefore
not been registered with a medical device regulatory body (e.g.
FDA): that is, it has not been evaluated for the storage of
samples for diagnostic use or for samples to be re-introduced to
the body.

Warning
Only Explosion roof Units or
Flammable Material Storage Units
are to be used for the storage of
flammable inventory/samples.

Unpacking
At delivery, examine the exterior for physical damage while the
carrier's representative is present. If exterior damage is
present, carefully unpack and inspect the unit and all
accessories for damage.
If there is no exterior damage, unpack and inspect the
equipment within five days of delivery. If you find any damage,
keep the packing materials and immediately report the
damage to the carrier. Do not return goods to the
manufacturer without written authorization. When submitting a
claim for shipping damage, request that the carrier inspect the
shipping container and equipment.
Model and serial numbers are important when requesting
service parts from your dealer or the Technical Services
Group. These numbers are found inside the cabinet on the left
wall at about eye level. You can record the identification

Installation
Location
Install the unit in a level area free from vibration with a
minimum of 1/8th inch on sides, 2 inches at the rear and 1
inch on the top.
Do not position the equipment in direct sunlight or near heating
diffusers, radiators, or other sources of heat. The ambient
temperature range must be between 60 and 90°F (16 to 32°C).
Wiring
This model uses 15 amp power cords. They are rated for 120V
Volts, AC, 60Hz. Do not use extension cords, and always use
a three prong grounded wall outlet.
Leveling
The unit must be level. Rotate the leveling screws, located
under the front corners of the unit, until the unit is level. If the
floor is seriously out of level, you may need to shim the corners
with thin sheets of metal.
Door Seal
To check the door seal, complete the following steps:
1. Open the refrigerator door.
2. Insert a strip of paper (a couple of inches wide) between
the door gasket and the cabinet flange and close the door.
3. Slowly pull the paper strip from the outside. You should feel
some resistance.
4. Repeat this test at 4 inch intervals around the door. If the
door does not seal properly, replace the gasket.
5. Check the freezer door seal, repeating steps 1-4.
Caution
Door seal integrity is critical for
refrigerators and freezers. A
loose fitting gasket allows moist
air to be drawn into the cabinet,
resulting in quicker frost buildup
on the evaporator coil, longer
running time, poor temperature
maintenance, and increased
operation cost.
Caution
Improper operation of the equipment
could result in dangerous
conditions . To preclude hazard and
minimize risk, follow all instructions
and operate within design limits
noted on the dataplate.
Caution
Connect the equipment to the
correct power source. Incorrect
voltage can result in severe damage
to the equipment.
Danger
For personal safety and trouble-free
operation , this unit must be properly
grounded before it is used. Failure to
ground the equipment may cause
personal injury or damage to the
equipment. Always conform to the
National Electrical Code and local
codes . Do not connect unit to
already overloaded power lines.
