Summit Undercounter Medical Refrigerator Description:
Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator puts the most commonly requested features into a quality line of all-refrigerators specially designed to store vaccines and other sensitive materials in medical, scientific, pharmaceutical, and laboratory institutions.
The Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator is an all-refrigerator sized in a convenient 24″ footprint. The front breathing design allows built-in installation under counters, while the fully finished cabinet in white also enables freestanding use. This unit is designed with an external front control panel that allows users to adjust and monitor the temperature without opening the door or bending down to the floor. The front keyed lock is located towards the top of the door for added convenience. A hospital grade ‘green dot’ cord offers added safety in high traffic environments.
As recommended by the CDC and VFC programs, the Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator is equipped with a NIST calibrated thermometer that displays the current, minimum, and maximum temperatures to the nearest tenth of a degree with a readout viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Each Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator ships with a certificate of calibration for your records. The thermometer includes an audible alarm to warn users if the interior has gone out of the programmed temperature range. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a glycol-filled bottle and secured inside the center shelf to best simulate the temperature of other stored contents, resulting in the utmost accuracy for temperature reporting. We include a pre-installed 3/8″ probe hole for users who wish to install additional monitoring equipment.
Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator has a generous 5.5 cu.ft. interior capacity includes adjustable wire shelves for optimum circulation, with one center fixed shelf to keep the temperature probe in place. The flat door liner offers deeper storage space, holding trays up to 19 1/2″ x 16.” This unit includes an energy efficient LED interior light on an on/off rocker switch for added visibility. An internal fan ensures the interior is evenly cooled from top to bottom.
All MED2 series units are assembled in the USA from domestic and imported components. The Summit FF7LWBIMED2 Undercounter Medical Refrigerator can be paired with a matching low temperature all-freezer (VT65MLBIMED2) or ordered in a lower 32″ height for use under lower ADA compliant counters (FF7LWBIMED2ADA). This unit can also be customized with additional features, including a self-closing door or USB temperature logger with a digital display. Contact our product specialists to learn more. Products in the MED2 series come with a two year warranty on parts and labor and a five year warranty on the compressor.
*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.

Product FAQ
What is the FF7LWBIMED2 and what is it used for?
The FF7LWBIMED2 is a 5.5 cu ft (~156 L) under-counter built-in all-refrigerator designed for medical, laboratory or vaccine-storage use. It supports a secure +2 °C to +8 °C temperature range, features automatic defrost, a front-access control panel, factory-installed keyed lock, and a front-breathing design for built-in placement.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 5.5 cu ft (~156 L)
• External dimensions: approx. 86 cm H × 60 cm W × 58 cm D; door-open depth approx. 116 cm
• Temperature range: +2 °C to +8 °C
• Defrost type: Automatic
• Construction: Built-in capable, front-venting design
• Door: Solid with factory-installed keyed lock
• Monitoring: Digital microprocessor thermostat with NIST-calibrated display (current/high-low) and access port for external probe
• Electrical (U.S. version): 115 V AC / 60 Hz
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Factory-installed keyed door lock for access control.
– Audible high/low temperature alarm and NIST-calibrated thermometer display.

Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Estimated shipping lead time: approximately 5–7 business days when the unit is in stock.
Is international shipping available and what should I consider for Melbourne, Australia?
Yes — international shipping is available. For delivery to Melbourne, Australia you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and GST.
• Site access: confirm corridors/elevators/doorways accommodate approx. 60 cm width × ~58 cm depth, and allow approx. 116 cm front clearance for door-open.
• Electrical compatibility: The standard U.S. model runs at 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australian use (230 V / 50 Hz) you must select the correct export variant or install a certified step-down transformer installed by a licensed electrician.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
Ships boxed and palletized; unpacked footprint approx. 86 cm H × 60 cm W × 58 cm D; allow full door-open depth of ~116 cm. Ensure a clear, level pathway from delivery vehicle to installation site and adequate ventilation space at the final location.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
Upon delivery inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any issues, retain the packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier with your order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the FF7LWBIMED2?
1. Install the unit under-counter or on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled environment; allow rear/top clearance and approximately ~116 cm front clearance for door opening.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching the ordered variant’s voltage.
3. Power on the unit, set the temperature control within the +2 °C to +8 °C range, and allow 4–6 hours for internal temperature stabilization before placing any sensitive contents.
What best practices should I follow when using this refrigerator?
• Load items on adjustable wire shelves with spacing to maintain airflow; avoid over-packing which can reduce cooling uniformity.
• Label stored items (batch number, date/time) and apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation if applicable.
• Minimize door-open events; use the external controls and monitoring port rather than frequent internal access.
• Periodically check door gasket/seal, hinges and lock; maintain level installation and clean interior surfaces.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If internal temperature rises above or falls below the +2 °C to +8 °C range, or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature deviation, and impacted contents.
• Relocate critical items to validated backup refrigeration until normal conditions return.
• Investigate potential causes (door ajar, ambient load surge, power/sensor fault).
• Once temperature returns within the correct range and stabilizes, inspect stored contents for integrity before resuming standard use.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Inspect door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; confirm unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior/exterior surfaces; verify fan operation, thermostat alarm and probe port functionality.
• Periodically: Review any logged temperature data (if monitoring is used), confirm calibration of monitoring equipment, and maintain documented service/maintenance records for compliance.
