Product FAQ
What is the temperature range of the ABT-VS-SLS-12?
The unit is designed to maintain temperatures between 2°C and 15°C, providing a controlled environment for sensitive medical and laboratory samples.
What are the advantages of the glass door?
The glass door provides immediate visual access to inventory, reducing the time the door needs to remain open, which helps maintain superior internal temperature stability.
What are the exterior dimensions and interior capacity?
The unit provides 12 cubic feet of storage capacity. The exterior dimensions are approximately 25” W x 29” D x 66” H.
What kind of warranty is included?
It comes with a two-year parts and labor warranty, plus a seven-year compressor warranty.
Shipping FAQ
How is this glass door unit shipped?
Given the sensitivity of the glass door assembly and professional medical-grade components, this unit is shipped via dedicated LTL commercial freight to ensure it arrives safely.
Do I need liftgate service?
Yes, unless your facility is equipped with a loading dock, liftgate service is strongly recommended to ensure the unit is safely lowered to ground level.
What should I inspect upon arrival?
Please inspect the glass door, the unit, and the exterior packaging immediately for any signs of transit damage before signing the delivery receipt.
Any setup tips?
We recommend allowing the refrigerator to stand upright for at least 24 hours after delivery to allow the compressor oil to settle before powering it on.
