Here are common questions and answers about this product

Gelu is on every product pageJust ask a question, anytime
What temperature range does this refrigerator maintain?

The adjustable temperature range is 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C), calibrated using a NIST traceable device with a certificate included.

Temp Controller tab
How many shelves come with it, and are they adjustable?

It includes six (6) adjustable shelves, adjustable in ½" increments.

Description tab
What clearance do I need around the unit for installation?

A minimum 2" of clearance is required around the back and sides for proper ventilation, more if next to heat rejecting equipment. Improper installation will void the warranty and will lead to temperature maintenance issues, overheating and possible failure.

Temp Controller tab
What alarms are built in?

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

Temp Controller tab
What are the electrical requirements and amp draw?

The facility requires 110–120V AC with a 15A breaker and a NEMA 5-15 receptacle. The unit has a NEMA 5-15 plug and a rated amperage of 3 Amps.

Description tab
What refrigerant and defrost type does it use?

The refrigerant is EPA SNAP compliant R600a Isobutane, a hydrocarbon natural refrigerant, and the defrost type is Cycle Defrost.

Performance 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.
