Operation
CAUTION: Do not use in the presence
of fl ammable or combustible materials or
explosive gases. Fire or explosion could
result, causing death or severe injury.
Follow site protocols for loading and unloading samples.
Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
Wipe containers dry before placing items in the unit. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
The unit storage shelves should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the unit less effi cient.
Organize and label to reduce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time,
and close the door as soon as possible.
Before Using the Unit
1. Keep the unit upright for 24 hours before connecting to
the power supply.
2. Connect the unit to a power supply, and let the unit run
for 2-3 hours.
Note: If the ambient temperature of the room is higher
than normal (starting the machine in the summertime, for
example), it may take up to 4 hours to start using the unit.
