Disclaimers– Defrosting of the unit will need to be performed periodically to prevent severe ice build-up. Indoor use only, +18° C to +26° C (+65° F to +78° F), <70% RH Specifications are subject to change. Equipment requires 4” of clearance around back and sides of the unit for proper ventilation – improper installation will void the warranty and will lead to temperature maintenance issues, overheating and possible failure. Performance claims are based on testing at 22°C ambient using unbuffered air temperatures in an empty freezer at steady state operation. Performance may vary with environmental conditions, product load, or door openings.
