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 hold and how stable is it?

The adjustable temperature range is 36° F to 46° F (2° C to 8° C), with maximum cabinet air variation of +/- 1.5° C and simulator ballast stability of +/- 0.3° C. It is calibrated using a NIST traceable device, and the certificate is included.

Refrigeration System tab
What are the exterior dimensions and weight?

The exterior is 39.625″ wide, 34.75″ deep, and 81.75″ tall. Product weight is 345 lbs and shipping weight is 395 lbs.

Details tab
How much clearance does it need around the cabinet?

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

Temp Controller tab
What alarms are included?

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

Temp Controller tab
What are the electrical requirements?

The unit is rated at 3 Amps and uses a NEMA 5-15P plug. The facility must provide 110–120V AC, a 15A breaker, and a NEMA 5-15 receptacle.

Details tab
What refrigerant and defrost type does it use, and what is the warranty?

It uses EPA SNAP compliant R600a Isobutane (hydrocarbon natural refrigerant) with cycle defrost and a hermetic variable speed compressor. The warranty is two (2) years parts and labor, plus a seven (7) year compressor warranty.

Refrigeration System 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.
