GBElectrical connection Wiring and connections in power supply systems must been all applicable (local and national) electrical codes. Consult these codes lengths and sizes prior to cabinet installation. This device complies with relevant EU directives including Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic Compat- ibility Directive 2014/30/EU The socket should be freely accessible. Connect the appliance only to 220/240 V / 50Hz alternating current via a correctly installed earthed socket. The socket must be fused with a 10-13 A fuse. If the appliance is to be operated in a non- European country, check on the rating plate whether the indicated voltage and current type correspond to the values of your mains supply. Information regarding voltage, current or power are given on the rating plate The power cord may be replaced by a technician only. The rating plate provides various techni- cal information as well as type and serial number. Connect the appliance to voltage stabi- lizer and connect voltage stabilizer to wall socket. (Fig 9+ 10) g. 9 g. 10 Voltage stabilizers It is highly recommended that all cold chain equipment running on AC current is installed with a voltage stabilizer, in order to safeguard the equipment against voltage uctuations. Stabilizers should be selected & installed as per the input voltage available. Instructions to User: ● Every refrigeration unit must be connected to an individual stabilizer. ● Bypassing of Stabilizer is not recommend- ed, as such practice may lead to damage of the CCE & in turn safety of vaccines & hence must be avoided. ● Proper earthing should be available and connected. ● Emphasize on repairing stabilizers immedi- ately. Identify authorized Vestfrost service provider in case of technical assistance is required. The voltage stabilizer is also provided with ar- rangement to cut o󰀨 its output voltage to the lLR in case the mains voltage goes below or above as per designed input voltage range. The output is restored automatically after the factory set delay 3 to 6 minutes (WHO/PQS E007/VS01.4 specications) when the mains voltage is within the recommended range and remains within.

9Operation and function Starting procedure Connect the mains lead to the power supply /voltage stabilizer.. The green lamp must light (g. 11) to indicate that the appliance is operating. The electronic thermostat makes a self test, 20 seconds before the compressor starts. Temperature control It is recommended to check the inside temperature with an accurate thermometer twice a day. The inside temperature must be checked regularly according to WHO’s standards and specications. Cool down of the appliance Before the appliance is loaded with vaccines the ice-lining must be frozen. To ensure that the ice-lining is frozen do the following:

1. Place a thermometer in the top basket.

2. Let the refrigerator run for at least 48

Hours before loading vaccine.

3. Check the temperature in the vaccine

compartment (must be between +2° and +8°C). The temperature in the vaccine compartment must always be monitored on the thermometer and be within the range +2° to +8°C. Due to tolerance of the thermostat you should always control the temperature during cool down. Controller The appliance has a controller that controls the temperature in the vaccine compart- ment. The controller is factory adjusted to a default setpoint,what in most ambient en- vironments will keep the vaccine compart- ment within desired thresholds of 2⁰-8⁰C. If the cooler is not used for a longer period of time, it is recommended to use the ON/OFF switch to turn the cooler OFF. This disconnects the power from mains In case cooler is turned OFF, make sure the vaccine compartment is cleaned and dried thoroughly afterword´s, this to prevent problems with odors or mold. To prevent odors taking hold it is highly recommended to keep the lid slightly open.

10Loading the appliance Loading vaccines When the temperature in the vaccine compartment has stabilized, i.e. and the temperature is between +2° and +8°C and the compressor stops and starts, vaccines can be loaded. The vaccines should be placed and arranged in the baskets. To ensure air-circulation and prevent too low vaccine temperature, direct contact to the inside walls must be avoided. The Vaccine load in the baskets shall not be above top of the baskets.(g. 15) Vaccine storage Below points are recommended vaccine storage advice outlined by Unicef ● Keep the vaccine boxes containing the vaccines in neat rows. ● Di󰀨erent vaccines should be kept separa- tely to facilitate easy identication. ● Keep about, 2 cm. space between boxes of vaccines for circulation of air. g. 14 g. 15 Do not load the vaccine above top of the baskets. ● Store Freeze sensitive vaccines (DPT, TT, IPV, Penta and Hep. B) away from the bottom of the ILR to avoid freezing. Always keep the vaccines in the basket provided in the ILR. OPV, RVV BCG, JE and Measles vaccine to be storedat bot- tom of basket of the ILR. ● Vaccine should be stored as per their heat and cold sensitivity.

GBMaintenance and cleaning Dailymaintenance: The temperature in the vaccine compartment must always be monitored on the thermometer every day. Please note that the vaccine in the appliance must not freeze. Weeklymaintenance: During normal use, water can accumulate at the bottom of the appliance; remove with a cloth or through the drainage hole. Wipe o󰀨 water droplets on the inside wall at the same time. Check if lid gasket is sealing tight to the top frame when the lid is closed. A tight seal- ing lid reduces accumulation of water and formation of rime signicantly. Monthlymaintenance: Clean the grille on the right side of the re- frigerator once each month. Clean vaccine compartment with lukewarm water and mild detergent Clean outside of refrigerator with lukewarm water and mild detergent Yearlymaintenance: Electric connections and components are to be checked and cleaned once a year or more if necessary. Cleaning Disconnect the power supply before cleaning. The best way to clean the appliance is by using luke warm water with a small amount of unscented detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from running into the control panel. The gasket around the lid must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal. If the appliance is not being used for any period of time, switch o󰀨 the appliance, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, clean the inside, and leave the lid open to allow air circulation and prevent bad odor.

GBCondensation water drainage g. 16 Due to humidity in the air combined with cold surfaces inside the vaccine compart- ment, it should be expected that conden- sation will form on the sides of the inner lining. The condensation will be collected at the bottom, from where it regularly needs to be drained. If the bottom of the vaccine compartment is covered with condensation water, drainage/drying should be initiated. Condensation increases if: ● Equipment is opened too frequently. ● Lid not closing properly. ● Lid gasket is defective. ● High level of humidity. Drainage of condensation water is re- commended to performed in the morning between 7am to 9am when the ambient temperatures are expected to be lowest. Proceed as follows: IMPORTANT! Before condensation drainage vaccines must be moved to another working ILR or cold box with conditioned icepacks.

1. Disconnect the power supply by switch-

ing o󰀨 the ON/OFF power button or disconnect plug from power socket.

2. Open the drainage plug, placed inside

the vaccine compartment.

3. Place a tray under the condensation

4. When all the condensation and water

droplets on the lining has been removed carefully, clean the inside cabinet, as well as lid, lid gasket, and outside of the cabi- net, using water with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the vaccine compartment with a soft cloth, and make sure, no moisture is remaining after cleaning.

5. Reinsert the internal drainage plug, and

check lid gasket is not faulty.

6. Reconnect the power supply by the ON/

OFF power button and/or reconnect power plug.

7. When appliance has regained required

safe temperatures for storing vaccines 2°- 8 °C, place the vaccines in neat rows with space.
