NOTE: Accucold and Summit full-sized CTR/BKRF series refrigerator-freezers are listed on our website with general dimensions that may vary slightly from the actual unit.
The Summit BKRF21W 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 BKRF21W includes adjustable glass shelves in the refrigerator compartment, as well as multiple drawers. The door features multiple storage racks for added convenience. The upper freezer compartment comes with a full-width wire shelf and two door bins.
The BKRF21W features a textured white finish and user-reversible doors. This unit is also available with a factory installed combination lock. Designed to comply with JCAHO recommendations, it is intended for facility use.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical 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 available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance, and GST.
• Site access: verify the path from delivery vehicle to installation area can accommodate ~75 cm width × ~84 cm depth and allow ~153 cm front clearance for door swing.
• Electrical compatibility: This unit is rated at 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australian 230 V / 50 Hz you must order the correct export variant or install a certified step-down transformer by a licensed electrician.

Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the BKRF21W?
1. Position the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a location with good air circulation.
2. Allow ventilation clearance at the rear/top and ensure approximately ~153 cm (~60″) front clearance for the door swing.
3. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the model’s rating (115 V AC / 60 Hz) and supply; allow the cabinet to run empty for 2-4 hours until internal temperatures stabilize before loading items.
What best practices should I follow when using this refrigerator-freezer?
• Load contents with mindful airflow: keep items organized and avoid blocking vents, especially in the freezer zone.
• Use the external thermometers and alarm output for monitoring rather than frequently opening the door.
• Label stored items where shared access occurs and use FIFO rotation if applicable.
• Inspect door seals, hinges and cabinet level periodically; clean interior and exterior surfaces to maintain hygiene in shared spaces.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature deviates or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event with date/time, temperature, and impacted items.
• Temporarily relocate critical or perishable items to validated backup storage.
• Investigate the cause (door left ajar, ambient load increase, power/sensor fault).
• Once restored to stable temperature and verified, return components to the unit.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal integrity, hinge alignment, and confirm cabinet remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify thermometer/alarm operation and venting pathways.
• Periodically: Export or log internal high/low temperature readings (if equipment supports remote output), keep calibration and service records for shared-use facility compliance.
