Cabinet Location
- The cabinet requires a level surface to operate correctly. (Fig 1)
- Do not store items on top of the freezer.
- All economy laboratory freezers require ventilation around them. A 100mm clearance is required on both sides and at the back of the unit.
- Ensure the cabinet door can open and close fully without obstruction. (Fig 3)
Shelves
The shelves in Economy Laboratory Freezers are fixed as they are built into the refrigeration system.
Loading Guidelines for Cabinets
- As the Economy Laboratory Freezers do not use fan-forced cooling, internal airflow is less critical.
- However, grouping samples too closely or allowing them to touch can slow the freezing process.
- Once the freezer reaches a stable temperature, sample placement—except for the area below the step—has minimal impact on performance.
- Avoid placing items directly against the walls; maintain a 50mm gap on all sides. Items should be positioned to prevent blocking airflow.
- Thermoline recommends avoiding storage below the step (on the freezer floor) to ensure samples remain within acceptable temperature ranges.
SETUP WARNINGS
-
Ensure that the cabinet is placed on a flat and even surface. An uneven surface may cause the cabinet to become unstable and fall, potentially damaging the product.
-
Before use, ensure that all internal and external packaging has been removed, including tape, plastic bags, and foam pieces.
