Summit Undercounter Medical Freezer Description:
The Summit VT65MLBIPLUS2ADA Undercounter Medical Freezer is a 24” wide all-freezer designed for built-in use under ADA compliant counters, with a factory installed lock for added security and a digital thermostat for easy temperature control. 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. 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 FF6LBIPLUS2ADA all-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 VT65MLBIPLUS2ADA and what is it used for?
The VT65MLBIPLUS2ADA is a 3.2 cu ft (~91 L) built-in all-freezer with ADA-compliant height (approx. 81 cm) designed for medical, laboratory or clinical environments. It operates in a manual-defrost mode and supports temperatures down to approximately –12 °C to –25 °C, making it suitable for sensitive frozen-storage inventory.
What are the key technical specifications?
• Capacity: 3.2 cu ft (~91 L).
• External dimensions: ~81 cm H × ~60 cm W × ~60 cm D; depth with door at 90° approx ~115 cm.
• Temperature range: –12 °C to –25 °C.
• Defrost type: Manual.
• Door: Solid door with factory-installed keyed lock.
• Monitoring: Digital temperature display showing current and high/low readings; buffered probe included.
• Power: 115 V AC / 60 Hz (U.S. version)—export variant required for 230 V / 50 Hz regions.
What safety and security features are included?
Features include:
– Factory-installed keyed door lock for secure access.
– Digital thermometer with high/low alarms and switchable °C/°F readout.
– Pull-out drawers for organized storage and consistent cold-zone circulation.
– Magnetic door gaskets and insulated cabinet for efficient cold-storage performance.
Which environments is this unit best suited for?
Ideal for medical clinics, pharmacy auxiliary storage, life-science labs and other healthcare facilities where compact, under-counter freezer storage with −12 °C to −25 °C capability and ADA-comfortable height is required. Not intended for ultra-low (≤ −80 °C) frozen sample storage without further validation.
Shipping FAQ
How long does shipping take after placing an order?
Lead time is typically 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 you should consider:
• Import duties, customs clearance and GST.
• Site access: ensure doorways/corridors/freight-elevators can accommodate ~60 cm width × ~60 cm depth and provide approximately ~115 cm front clearance for full door swing.
• Electrical compatibility: The standard U.S. model is 115 V AC / 60 Hz — for Australia’s 230 V / 50 Hz variant you must order the correct export version or use a certified step-down transformer 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 approximately ~81 cm H × ~60 cm W × ~60 cm D; door-open depth ~115 cm. Ensure a level, firm access path from vehicle to final installation site.
What should I do if my shipment arrives damaged or delayed?
On delivery inspect the outer packaging and unit for visible transit damage. Photograph any damage, retain 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 VT65MLBIPLUS2ADA?
1. Position the unit upright on a firm, level indoor surface in a climate-controlled room; allow adequate clearance behind, above and in front (approx. ~115 cm) for full door-swing access.
2. Connect to a dedicated grounded outlet appropriate to your ordered variant’s voltage.
3. Power the unit; allow 2–4 hours empty operation for internal temperatures to stabilize at approx. –12 °C to –25 °C before loading sensitive materials.
What best practices should I follow when using this freezer?
• Load contents on the pull-out drawers with spacing for airflow; avoid over-packing which can impair uniform cooling.
• Label stored inventory with batch/date/time and adopt first-in/first-out (FIFO) rotation where applicable.
• Minimize door-open frequency; use external digital display and alarm rather than frequent checks inside.
• Inspect the door gasket/seal, hinges and lock mechanism regularly; maintain the unit level and keep interior surfaces clean and frost-free.
What should I do if a temperature excursion or power interruption occurs?
• Record the event: date/time, observed temperature deviation, and impacted contents.
• Transfer critical materials to validated backup storage until stable conditions return.
• Investigate root cause (door left open, ambient heat load, power outage or sensor fault).
• Once internal temperature returns to within the target –12 °C to –25 °C range and is stable, inspect stored items for integrity prior to resuming routine storage.
What maintenance and verification routines are recommended?
• Monthly: Check door gasket/seal, hinges/lock; confirm unit remains level.
• Quarterly: Clean interior and exterior surfaces; verify drawers slide properly and magnet seals function.
• Periodically: Review any high/low temperature readouts, verify calibration of monitoring equipment, and maintain documented service/maintenance logs for compliance.
