The Summit BKRF21SS Break Room Refrigerator Freezer is a full-sized refrigerator-freezer specially designed for use in healthcare breakrooms. The large interior offers nearly 21 cu.ft. of storage capacity, with frost-free operation for low maintenance use. The temperature is managed by a dial thermostat, with two NIST calibrated thermometers externally mounted on top of the unit to provide a temperature readout of the current and high/low temperatures in each section to the nearest tenth of a degree. Temperature can be viewed in Celsius or Fahrenheit for added convenience. Each thermometer includes an audible high/low alarm function to alert staff if perishable items or critical materials are exposed to out of range temperatures.
Inside, the Summit BKRF21SS Break Room Refrigerator Freezer includes adjustable glass shelves in the refrigerator compartment, as well as multiple drawers. The door features full-sized storage racks, including two that hold full gallon containers. The upper freezer compartment comes with a full-width wire shelf and two door bins.

Estimated shipping lead time is 5–7 days when the unit is in stock and ready for dispatch.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is offered. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:

Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the BKRF21SS?
1. Position the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled area; allow ventilation behind/top and front clearance of ~153 cm for door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded electrical outlet matching the ordered variant (115 V AC / 60 Hz U.S. or appropriate export version for Australia).
3. Power on the unit and allow it to run empty for 2–4 hours until internal temperatures stabilize before loading contents.
What best practices should I follow when using this refrigerator-freezer?
• Keep storage items organized to ensure good airflow and avoid over-packing especially in the freezer section.
• Use the external thermometer read-out and alarm system for monitoring rather than frequent door openings.
• Inspect door gaskets, hinges and lock mechanisms regularly; maintain cabinet level and clean interior/exterior surfaces periodically.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
• Record details: date/time, observed temperature, and impacted contents.
• If available, relocate sensitive contents to validated backup storage until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate root cause (door left ajar, ambient heat load increase, power or sensor fault).
• Once internal conditions are stable and within recommended range, assess contents for integrity and resume normal use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal, hinge alignment and lock function; ensure unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify venting and thermometer/alarm functionality.
• Periodically: Review any high/low temp logs if available, maintain calibration/maintenance records especially in shared facility environments.
