fig. 7
There must be at least 30 mm clearance between the base of the appliance and the floor.
IMPORTANT! There must be free access to the ventilation grille (fig.8).
fig. 8
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 fluctuations.
Stabilizers should be selected and 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 recommended, as such practice may lead to damage of the CCE and in turn safety of vaccines and hence must be avoided.
- Proper earthing should be available and connected.
- Emphasize on repairing stabilizers immediately. Identify authorized Vestfrost service provider in case of technical assistance is required.
The voltage stabilizer is also provided with arrangement to cut off its output voltage to the ILR 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 specifications) when the mains voltage is within the recommended range and remains within.
Electrical connection
Wiring and connections in power supply systems must be 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 Compatibility 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 is given on the rating plate.
The power cord may be replaced by a technician only.
The rating plate provides various technical information as well as type and serial number.
Connect the appliance to a voltage stabilizer and connect the voltage stabilizer to the wall socket. (Fig 9+10)
Operation and function
fig. 11 the power supply.
Starting procedure
Connect the mains lead to the power supply/voltage stabilizer. The green lamp must light (fig. 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 specifications.
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:
- Place a thermometer in the top basket.
- Let the refrigerator run for at least 48 hours before loading vaccine.
- 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 compartment. The controller is factory adjusted to a default setpoint, what in most ambient environments will keep the vaccine compartment within desired thresholds of +2° to +8°C.
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 afterwards, this to prevent problems with odors or mold. To prevent odors taking hold it is highly recommended to keep the lid slightly open.
fig. 13
Loading 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. (fig. 15)
Vaccine storage
Below points are recommended vaccine storage advice outlined by Unicef.
- Keep the vaccine boxes containing the vaccines in neat rows.
- Different vaccines should be kept separately to facilitate easy identification.
- Keep about 2 cm space between boxes of vaccines for circulation of air.
fig. 14
- 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 stored at bottom of basket of the ILR. ● Vaccine should be stored as per their heat and cold sensitivity.
Do not load the vaccine above top of the baskets.
fig. 15
Maintenance and cleaning
Daily maintenance:
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.
Weekly maintenance:
During normal use, water can accumulate at the bottom of the appliance; remove with a cloth or through the drainage hole. Wipe off 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 sealing lid reduces accumulation of water and formation of rime significantly.
Monthly maintenance:
Clean the grille on the right side of the refrigerator once each month. Clean vaccine compartment with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Clean outside of refrigerator with lukewarm water and mild detergent.
Yearly maintenance:
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 lukewarm 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 off 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.
Condensation water drainage
Due to humidity in the air combined with cold surfaces inside the vaccine compartment, it should be expected that condensation 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 recommended to be 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.
- Disconnect the power supply by switching off the ON/OFF power button or disconnect plug from power socket.
- Open the drainage plug, placed inside the vaccine compartment.
- Place a tray under the condensation water drain.
- Once all condensation and water droplets have been carefully removed from the lining, clean the inside of the cabinet, as well as the lid, lid gasket, and the outside of the cabinet, using water with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the vaccine compartment with a soft cloth, and ensure no moisture remains after cleaning.
- Reinsert the internal drainage plug, and check that the lid gasket is not faulty.
- Reconnect the power supply using the ON/OFF power button and/or reconnect the power plug.
- Once the appliance has regained the required safe temperatures for storing vaccines (2°C–8°C), place the vaccines in neat rows with space between them.
