Summit Undercounter General Medical Freezer Description:
The Summit VT65MLBIPLUS2 Undercounter General Medical Freezer is a 24” wide all-freezer designed for built-in use under counters, with a factory installed lock for added security. This manual defrost unit can hold temperatures as low as -25ºC, ideal for many vaccines and laboratory items. The door 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 freezer contents. This model comes in a white finish and includes a hospital grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug for added security in high traffic areas.
The interior features three removable storage baskets with clear plastic fronts for easy storage that stays cold, even when the door is opened.
This freezer can be paired with the auto defrost FF6LBIPLUS2 refrigerator for a complete matching set.
Accucold’s PLUS2 series freezers 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.

Product FAQ
What is the VT65MLBIPLUS2 and what is it used for?
The VT65MLBIPLUS2 is a 3.2 cu ft (~91 L) built-in all-freezer designed for medical or laboratory use, meant for installation under counters or in cabinetry. It supports a temperature range down to roughly -25 °C and includes features such as a factory-installed lock and external thermometer display for monitoring.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 3.2 cu ft (~91 L).
• External dimensions: Height ~85 cm, Width ~60 cm, Depth ~60 cm; door-open depth approx. ~117 cm.
• Temperature capability: Approximately -12 °C to -25 °C.
• Defrost type: Manual.
• Door: Solid with factory-installed keyed lock.
• Monitoring: External temperature display with current/min-max readouts and high/low alarm.
• Built-in design: Under-counter width (~60 cm) for cabinetry or flush installation.
• Voltage: 115 V AC / 60 Hz (U.S. standard) — export variant required for Australia.
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Factory-installed keyed lock to restrict access.
– Buffered probe port or external thermometer allowing monitoring of internal conditions.
– Magnetic door gasket and foamed insulation for stable temperatures and efficient operation.
– Drawers or baskets (depending on model configuration) for organized storage in a built-in footprint.
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for medical clinics, lab storage rooms, pharmacy ancillary spaces or facility under-counter installations requiring compact but stable freezer storage in the -12 °C to -25 °C range. Not intended for ultra-low (≤ -80 °C) storage without further validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Typical lead time is around 3–5 business 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: ensure delivery pathway (doorways, elevators, corridors) can accommodate approx ~60 cm width × ~60 cm depth and allow ~117 cm front clearance for full door opening.
• Electrical compatibility: The U.S. model is rated at 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia’s 230 V / 50 Hz you must order the correct export variant or use a certified step-down transformer installed by a licensed electrician.
How is the unit packaged for transit and what site requirements should be met?
The unit ships boxed and palletized; unpacked footprint approx ~85 cm H × ~60 cm W × ~60 cm D; door-open depth approx ~117 cm. Ensure the delivery area is level, firm, and unobstructed from vehicle to installation site.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible damage. Photograph any damage, retain the packaging and delivery receipt, and contact your supplier with order/tracking details to initiate a freight claim or arrange a replacement.
Application FAQ
How do I install and set up the VT65MLBIPLUS2?
1. Position the unit into the cabinetry or under-counter space on a firm, level surface in a climate-controlled room; allow clearance behind/top and in front (~117 cm) for door swing.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet matching your model’s voltage specification (115 V AC / 60 Hz U.S. version or correct export variant).
3. Power the unit, set the thermostat, and allow approximately 2–4 hours for internal temperature stabilization before loading sensitive material.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Store items in drawers or baskets with adequate spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing that could impede cooling.
• Use the external thermometer display and alarm rather than frequent door access to maintain temperature stability.
• Label materials (batch number, date/time) and apply first-in/first-out (FIFO) stock rotation if applicable.
• Inspect the door gasket/seal, hinges, and lock mechanism regularly; ensure the unit remains level and interior surfaces are clean and frost-free.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
If the internal temperature rises or falls outside the target range (~-12 °C to -25 °C) or a power interruption occurs:
• Record the event (date/time, observed temperature and impacted contents).
• Relocate critical items to validated backup storage until conditions stabilize.
• Investigate cause (door ajar, ambient heat load increase, or power/sensor fault).
• Once stable temperature is restored, verify contents for integrity before resuming normal storage operations.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; confirm unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; inspect drawer mechanisms, gasket compression, and thermostat functionality.
• Periodically: Review any recorded temperature logs (if monitoring enabled), verify calibration of external monitoring equipment, and maintain documented servicing and maintenance records for audit purposes.
