Product FAQ
What is the advantage of a manual defrost freezer?
Manual defrost freezers provide superior temperature stability compared to auto-defrost models. Because they lack internal cycling heaters that trigger to melt ice, they avoid the “defrost spikes” that can threaten the integrity of sensitive medical or laboratory samples.
What are the cooling performance features?
This unit provides a cold storage environment (typically -20°C range) and utilizes a microprocessor temperature controller, which offers significantly higher precision and better recovery times than mechanical-style thermostats.
What security and alarm features are provided?
It includes audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, a sensor error alarm, and remote alarm contacts. It features dual probes—one in the air and one in a sample bottle—to ensure accurate temperature reporting and data logging.
What is the warranty coverage?
It comes with a standard two-year parts and labor warranty, plus an additional three-year compressor parts warranty to ensure reliable operation.
Shipping FAQ
How is this laboratory freezer shipped?
Given the unit’s sensitive internal components and cooling system, this unit is shipped via LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight, securely palletized to minimize movement during transit.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, liftgate service is mandatory unless your facility has a loading dock capable of receiving an 18-wheeler truck, as this unit must be carefully lowered to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Before signing the delivery receipt, you must thoroughly inspect the unit, focusing on the door seals, exterior finish, and the refrigeration housing for any signs of transit-related damage.
What are the post-delivery setup steps?
To prevent damage to the compressor, you must allow the unit to sit upright in its final location for at least 24 hours to let all fluids settle before powering it on.
