Here are common questions and answers about this product

Gelu is on every product pageJust ask a question, anytime
What temperature range can I set this refrigerator to?

The adjustable temperature range is 2° C to 15° C, with a maximum cabinet air variation of +/- 1.5° C and simulator ballast stability of +/- 0.3° C.

Refrigeration System tab
How much clearance does it need around the cabinet?

It requires a minimum 2" of clearance around the back and sides for proper ventilation, and more if placed next to heat-rejecting equipment. Improper installation will void the warranty and can lead to temperature issues, overheating, and possible failure.

Temp Controller tab
What are the exterior dimensions and weight?

Exterior width is 39.625", depth is 34.75", and height is 81.75". Product weight is 345 lbs and shipping weight is 395 lbs.

Details tab
What alarms are included on this unit?

It has audible and visual high/low temperature alarms, remote alarm contacts, sensor error alarm, power failure alarm, door ajar alarm, and alarm mute. Battery backup supports the controller temperature display and alarms only, with no cooling active.

Temp Controller tab
What refrigerant and defrost method does it use?

The refrigerant is EPA SNAP compliant R600a Isobutane, a hydrocarbon natural refrigerant. Defrost is cycle defrost.

Refrigeration System tab
What are the electrical requirements and warranty?

It draws 3 Amps and uses a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 110–120V AC, 15A breaker, NEMA 5-15 receptacle. The warranty is two (2) years parts and labor with a seven (7) year compressor warranty.

Details tab
What is a Variable Speed Compressor (VSC)?

A variable speed compressor (VSC) self-adjusts to cooling demand instead of running at one fixed speed, giving greater efficiency and more cost savings than a traditional fixed-speed model. On this unit it works alongside the microprocessor temperature controller, which provides the precise temperature control.
