Product FAQ
What is the FS24L and what’s it used for?
The FS24L is a compact medical all-freezer (about 2.4 cu ft / ~68 L) designed for reliable sub-zero storage around –20 °C, ideal for small-volume clinical, laboratory, and wellness applications.
What are the core features?
Manual-defrost cooling for tighter temperature stability, reversible door, factory-installed keyed lock, two adjustable wire shelves, seamless easy-clean interior, and a flat door liner suitable for clinical storage.
How big is it and where will it fit?
Typical exterior size is roughly 24.5″ H × 18.5″ W × 17.75″ D (≈ 62 cm × 47 cm × 45 cm), making it suitable for countertop or under-bench placements with proper ventilation clearance.
Are there temperature controls or indicators?
A front-mounted thermostat allows set-point adjustment; users commonly pair the unit with an independent min/max thermometer or data logger for continuous verification.
Shipping FAQ
What is the approximate shipping weight?
Around 60–70 lbs (≈ 27–32 kg), packaged for small-footprint freight or parcel carriers depending on destination.
What power requirements apply?
115 V AC / 60 Hz, low current draw typical of compact freezers. Use a grounded outlet; avoid extension cords and power strips in clinical settings.
Any receiving or installation notes?
Inspect packaging on arrival, note visible damage with the carrier, allow the unit to stand upright before powering on after transport, level the cabinet, and keep ventilation paths clear.
Application FAQ
Is this suitable for clinical protocols?
Yes. It provides compact –20 °C class storage for select sensitive materials where a small, secure footprint is preferred. Always confirm your facility’s SOPs for temperature targets and monitoring.
What are recommended usage practices?
Distribute load across shelves to maintain airflow, avoid over-packing, place a calibrated min/max thermometer or data logger centrally, record temperatures per protocol, and minimize door openings.
What routine maintenance is advised?
Periodically defrost as needed, clean the condenser area, check and clean the door gasket, verify thermostat and any alarms or loggers, and re-level the cabinet if moved.
