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.

Product FAQ
What makes this freezer safe for storing flammable materials?
This unit is engineered to meet NFPA and OSHA guidelines 45 and 70 for the safe storage of volatile and flammable materials in laboratory settings, featuring no internal electrical components and sealed vapor-proof compressor components.
What temperature range does this commercial flammable freezer maintain?
The upright freezer operates within a controlled low-temperature range (typically set between -15°C and -25°C), utilizing a reliable microprocessor controller to keep sensitive samples stable across its large 30 cu. ft. capacity.
What monitoring and safety alarms are included?
It comes equipped with a digital temperature display, audible and visual high/low-temperature alarms, remote alarm contacts, and sensor error warnings to safeguard valuable laboratory inventory against unexpected temperature fluctuations.
Are there specific clearance requirements for installation?
Yes. Proper airflow is critical for reliable performance in high-capacity units. Ensure adequate clearance is maintained around the back and sides of the unit according to the manufacturer’s operational manual.
What is the warranty coverage?
It includes a standard manufacturer parts and labor warranty, along with extended compressor coverage for long-term operational peace of mind.
Shipping FAQ
How is this large commercial flammable freezer shipped?
Due to specialized safety construction and heavy commercial weight, this full-size upright unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to protect the system during transit.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is required unless your facility features a professional commercial loading dock capable of receiving a major transport vehicle.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Thoroughly inspect the exterior packaging, door, handle, and structural panels for any signs of transit damage before signing the delivery receipt.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
Allow the freezer to sit completely upright in its final installation location for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it in, giving internal cooling fluids adequate time to settle.
