Description
Summit Undercounter Medical Refrigerator Description:
The Summit FF6LWBIPLUS2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator is an all-refrigerator sized at just under 24″ wide. Made in Europe, it comes in a white exterior finish with a keyed lock located towards the top of the door for convenient security. The front-breathing system allows built-in installation under counters, while the fully finished cabinet also enables freestanding use. A digital thermostat is located in the kickplate for easy and precise temperature management.
The unit uses automatic defrost operation and includes an internal fan for stabilized cooling. Adjustable wire shelves offer flexible storage inside the 5.5 cu.ft. interior, with door racks and an automatic light included. The FF6LWBIPLUS2 includes a thermometer calibrated to NIST standards in our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory. It displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperature to the nearest tenth degree viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The buffered temperature probe is stored in a glycol-filled bottle to ensure the temperature reading best reflects the temperature of other stored refrigerator contents.
The Summit FF6LWBIPLUS2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator can be further customized with a variety of options, including data loggers, alarms, and more. Contact our sales team for more information.
Accucold’s PLUS2 series refrigerators are intended for a wide variety of basic storage only. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, medical, or clinical biologicals require a product with design features including, but not limited to tighter temperature controls, monitoring, and/or back-up.
*NOTE: This unit’s thermostat is pre-set for Celsius. If you prefer Fahrenheit, add complimentary option DTMEDF or let your sales representative know upon order.
