Shipping FAQ
What is the shipping weight and footprint?
The unit ships at approximately 100 lbs (≈ 45 kg) and fits a standard compact-freight footprint designed for small-institution delivery.
What power and installation requirements apply?

Yes—while not explicitly designed for vaccine or biologic certification, it provides secure general-purpose refrigeration in institutional settings such as wellness rooms, staff amenities, and support laboratories.
What are recommended best practices for daily use?
Avoid over-packing shelves to maintain airflow, place a min/max thermometer or data logger on one of the central shelves, label and rotate contents, minimize door-open time, and record start-of‐day temperatures as part of protocol.
What regular maintenance should be performed?
Check and clean the door gasket annually, vacuum or remove dust from the condenser area, verify thermostat accuracy and lock function, ensure the unit remains level, and schedule full cleaning when inventory rotates.
