Summit Compact Vaccine Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of NSF/ANSI 456 certified refrigeration designed to store a variety of materials in healthcare facilities.
Summit ACR21WNSF456LHD Compact Vaccine Refrigerator is a compact 1.94 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. It features a clean white exterior and a blue-accented control panel. The glass door is equipped with a self-closing mechanism to help protect stored items from being overexposed to room temperature. A factory-installed lock offers added security, and the hospital-grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug ensures a secure connection for high-traffic areas.
The Summit ACR21WNSF456LHD Compact Vaccine Refrigerator includes an external readout of the interior temperature, as well as the high/low temperature as required for data records. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a bottle filled with glass beads for improved accuracy and calibrated to NIST standards in our in-house ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified laboratory. The digital temperature controls allow you to set the interior between 2 and 8ºC. An audible alarm sounds if the temperature goes out of range. We also include a pre-installed 3/8″ access port for users to add their own monitoring equipment if preferred. The interior includes one wire shelf in the center to hold the temperature probe and additional adjustable shelves to accommodate different sizes. Internal LED lighting provides an efficient and convenient view. Automatic defrost reduces user maintenance and an internal fan ensures powerful temperature recovery after door openings. This unit ships with a left-hand door swing (for a right-hand version, see model ACR21WNSF456).
EQTemp’s series of ACR refrigeration is certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. All models feature hydrocarbon refrigerant for a greener footprint. Additional sizes are available, as well as more advanced cold storage equipment purpose-built for laboratory and life science storage. Browse the full product line to explore our extensive selection.
Note: EQTemp’s ACR Series refrigerators are intended for a wide variety of healthcare storage applications. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, and medical/clinical biologicals require a product offering tighter temperature control and/or alarms, monitoring, and backup.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical preparation and dispatch time: 1 to 3 business days, depending on stock and destination.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping may be available. For shipments to Australia (Melbourne) or other overseas sites, please consider:
• Import duties/customs and GST
• Freight access and site clearance (delivery space, handling)
• Electrical/plugs compatibility (unit rated at 115 V AC/60 Hz)
How is the unit packaged for transit and delivery?
Ships boxed/palletized with protective packaging. Given the dimensions (~59 cm H × ~48 cm W × ~54 cm D) and weight (~22 kg empty) ensure the receiving site has a level surface, suitable access, and clearance for door swing and delivery.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or is delayed?
If the unit arrives with visible damage or the delivery is significantly delayed, document the condition (take photos if possible), keep packaging, note delivery receipt details, and contact the supplier with order/tracking information to initiate a claim or replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the ACR21WNSF456LHD?
Place the unit on a firm, level surface (or in a built-in space with required front-vent clearance). Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet (115 V AC/60 Hz or equivalent local supply). Set the thermostat to target (~+5 °C) within the +2 °C to +8 °C range, allow the interior to stabilize before loading items, and verify alarm, lock & monitoring port functionality.
What best practices should I follow when storing items?
Use the adjustable shelving without obstructing airflow; avoid overpacking; minimize door openings; label stored items for traceability; regularly inspect door gasket/seal and lock; maintain temperature logs or alarm history if required for regulatory compliance.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature moves outside the +2 °C to +8 °C range or a power interruption occurs: record the event (time, temperature reading, items affected); relocate sensitive contents to backup cold storage if necessary; identify root cause (door left ajar, power fault, sensor failure); once resolved, reset controls and monitor until stable before returning items.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
Recommended routines: monthly inspection of door seals/gasket and hinges; quarterly cleaning of condenser and ventilation/vent paths; periodic testing of alarms, monitoring ports and probe devices; maintain service and calibration logs for audit readiness.
