professional use only. These products are intended for use in
research for the storage of samples or inventory in the following
temperature ranges:
WARNING
Only Explosion Proof Units or
Flammable Material Storage Units
are to be used for the storage of
flammable inventory/samples.
Freezers -12°C to -20°C
Refrigerators +1°C to +12°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.
NOTE: Do not store corrosive materials in these units. Any damage
which occurs due to storage of corrosives will not be covered under
warranty claims.
Corrosive Materials Requiring Refrigerated or Frozen Storage:
• Only use models rated as Corrosion Resistant.
•Corrosion Resistant does not mean Corrosion Proof – Care in

Overview
Conventional refrigerators and freezers are not suitable for storing flammable
materials. Such units have components in their electrical and refrigeration systems
that can trigger explosions of flammable air-vapor mixtures inside the unit and/or in
the immediate surrounding area.
The Authority having Jurisdiction (AHJ) determines if work areas are designated as
a hazardous location with respect to the presence of flammable gases or vapors.
Such locations are defined in (National Fire Protection Agency) NFPA 70 Articles
500-501 and OSHA 29 CFR1910.307. Some of these classified areas are
expected to experience concentrations of flammable gases and/or vapors at or
above their lower flammability limits for extended periods of time. The construction
of our explosion-proof units has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
are suitable for use in classified areas requiring Class I, Groups C and D*
protected equipment.
The electrical components such as thermostats, wiring, splices, relays and
compressor motors on explosion-proof units are safely housed within explosion-
proof enclosures and conduit. Compressor surface temperatures have been
evaluated and determined to remain below the flash point of materials found in
Class I, Groups C and D. All models have heavy-gauge, rigid, steel construction
with a durable enamel finish. Interiors have epoxy coated steel construction. Each
unit is insulated throughout for energy-efficient operation. These units are ideal
for storing ethyl ether, acetone, alcohol, benzene, gasoline, hexane, lacquer
solvent vapors, naphtha, along with many other potentially hazardous materials.
WARNING: For FMS and EXP units where flammable materials are stored in the
cooling chamber, the cooling chamber is considered a Class I Div1 or Class I Zone
1 hazardous location. Any monitoring devices placed in the cooling chamber must
have an intrinsically safe rating from an appropriate certification body, such as UL,
CSA, FM etc. (this includes battery or solar powered devices).
Thermocouples for building monitoring systems must be wired through an electrical
barrier designed to provide isolation against voltage and current spikes, which
could cause a spark resulting in fire or explosion. It is the end user's responsibility
to meet these requirements. VWR cannot assist with the selection of devices,
recommend, approve or design any device or monitoring circuit.
*The notation Class 1, Groups C and D is an accepted abbreviation for Class I
Div 1, Groups C and D; Class I Zone 1 Group IIB.

Overview
Conventional refrigerators and freezers are not suitable for storing
flammable materials. Such units have components in their electrical
and refrigeration systems that can trigger explosion of flammable air-
vapor mixtures inside the unit.
Flammable Materials Storage (FMS) refrigerators/freezers are
designed for use in locations, which are not classified by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) as hazardous. Under normal operating
conditions the build up or presence of flammable vapors will not occur
in the environment external to the unit.
FMS units are NOT designed for use in Class I, Division 1,
Group C and D environments, which require an Explosion- Proof
Refrigerator/Freezer.
(FMS units are designed and evaluated by Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) to meet the requirements of the National Fire
Protection Association Standards Nos. 45, 70 and 99. These units have
no internal electrical components that could trigger an explosion or fire
of hazardous materials inside the unit).
All models have heavy-gauge, rigid, steel construction with a durable
enamel finish. The interior cabinet of this unit is constructed of epoxy-
coated steel. Care must be exercised when determining which
chemicals may be stored in the refrigerator and freezer sections and
which type of storage materials should be employed.
WARNING: For FMS and EXP units where flammable materials are
stored in the cooling chamber, the cooling chamber is considered a
Class I Div1 or Class I Zone 1 hazardous location. Any monitoring
devices placed in the cooling chamber must have an intrinsically safe
rating from an appropriate certification body, such as UL, CSA, FM etc.
(this includes battery or solar powered devices).
Thermocouples for building monitoring systems must be wired through
an electrical barrier designed to provide isolation against voltage and
current spikes, which could cause a spark resulting in fire or explosion.
It is the end user's responsibility to meet these requirements. VWR
cannot assist with the selection of devices, recommend, approve or
design any device or monitoring circuit.

How to Seal Killark® Box Conduit with Fiber and Sealing Compound
to Help Protect Against Explosions (Explosion-Proof Units Only):
The purpose of the procedure that follows is to build fiber rope dams on
the left and right hubs of the horizontal conduit. The fiber rope dams will
surround conduit wiring that is housed inside the horizontal conduit.
When both the left and right fiber rope dams have been pressed into
place, sealing compound is poured between the two and forms into an
airtight plug.
All of this is done in order to prevent the very real threat of gas entering
the Killark box and a resulting serious explosion. After the unit wires have
been pulled through the horizontal conduit the following procedure is
required:
INSTALLATION

Note: Wires must be kept separated as shown in the diagrams.
Figure 2: Horizontal Conduit, Cutaway
13
• Insert fiber rope material down into horizontal conduit opening. Pressing down firmly, work the material into
the left hub and—most importantly—being sure the material COMPLETELY SURROUNDS THE WIRING,
from the top to the bottom, completely blocking this end of the horizontal conduit.
• Insert fiber rope material down into horizontal conduit opening. Pressing down firmly, work the material into
the right hub and—most importantly—being sure the material COMPLETELY SURROUNDS THE WIRING,
from the top to the bottom, completely blocking this end of the horizontal conduit.
INSTALLATION

Note: Wires must be kept separated as shown in the diagram before addition of the sealing compound.
14
• Pour sealing compound down in between the two fiber rope dams filling the remaining space. Pour slowly,
being careful not to trap air bubbles. Immediately wipe off any spilled sealing compound.
• Screw conduit domed-cover back onto conduit opening.
NOTE: INITIAL SETUP OF SEALING COMPOUND WILL OCCUR IN APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES
HOWEVER, THE SEALING COMPOUND REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF 8 HOURS ABOVE 32ºF TO
DEVELOP SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND EXPLOSIONS.
INSTALLATION

Selecting a Location
Choose a location for the refrigerator/freezer that will provide
a clearance of 4 in. at the top, 8 in. at the rear and 3 in. at
each side.
Appropriate electrical power must be available. Locate the
refrigerator/freezer within eight feet of the power outlet so that
no extension cord is required. Attach the refrigerator/freezer
to the facility’s electrical supply as directed by the National
Electrical Code Article 440.
Leveling the Unit
This refrigerator/freezer must be level in order to provide
adequate condensate drainage as well as proper door
alignment and operation. The refrigerator/freezer should
be in its final operating location and set so that it is firmly
positioned on the floor.

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.
Electrical Connection
Determine the total amount of current presently being used by
other apparatus connected to the circuit that will be used by this
refrigerator. It is critical that this added current demand and
other equipment on this circuit not exceed the rating of the fuse
or circuit breaker in use.
The frequency and nominal voltage requirements for the unit
are specified on the data plate, which is located on the door’s
exterior. Only supply this unit with an electrical source that
meets these requirements. Low line voltage is often the cause
of service complaints. With the unit running, check that the line
voltage is within ±10% of that specified on the data plate.
