MF-Model is a vaccine storage freezer and icepack freezer. It has two compartments; one for vaccine storage and one for icepack freezing. Power supply The MF vaccine freezer is equipped with a heavy-duty compressor that can operate at volta ges 22% below nominal voltage. See the rating plate. If voltage variations go beyond this range it is recommended to use an automatic voltage stabilizer. Unpacking

1. Unpack the appliance and check that it

has not been damaged. If you observe any damage, inform your supervisor.

2. Check the rating for correct voltage and

material. Unpacking and installa- tion Installation The appliance must be placed in a well ven- tilated room, not in direct sunlight and away from other heating sources. Place the appliance on the oor, ensure that it is level. Distance between the wall and the back and left side of the appliance must be minimum 50 mm and the distance be tween the wall and the right side of the appliance must be minimum 100 mm. (g. 2). If installed in a room with other refrigerators/ freezers, ensure a minimum distance bet- ween the appliances of minimum 200 mm. There must be at least 30 mm clearance between the base of the appliance and the oor. IMPORTANT!There must be free access to the ventilation grille Fig. 2 Fig. 3 General information6

Electrical 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. Check that the plug ts your type of socket. If it does not t, have a qualied electri- cian to t the plug. This appliance must be earthed. Connect the appliance to voltage stabi- lizer and connect voltage stabilizer to wall socket. (Fig 4 + 5) Fig. 4 Fig. 5 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 Vaccine/waterpacks freezer 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 specica- tions) when the mains voltage is within the recommended range and remains within.7

Fig. 6 Cool down of the appliance Before the appliance is loaded with vac- cines ensure that the temperature is below -15 °C: ● Set the thermostat at position 5 ● Check the temperature on the thermo- meter ● If the temperature in the vaccine com- partment is above -15°C the thermostat should be adju sted. The temperature in the vaccine compartment must always be monitored on the thermo meter and be within the range -15 to -25°C. Due to the mechanical tolerance of the thermostats you should always control the temperatu re during cool down . This appliance is equipped with one thermostat. See Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 Temperature adjustment Fig. 7 Thermostat The thermostat is a electronic thermostat that controls the temperature in the vaccine and icepack freezing compartments. Setting 1 applies minimum cold and setting 8 maximum cold.8

Loading the appliance Loading vaccines When the temperature in the freezer has stabilized, i.e. the temperature should be below -15 to -25°C and the compressor stops and starts, vaccines can be loaded. The vaccines should be placed in the mid part. Loading and freezing of icepacks The icepacks should be placed in the icepack compartment and the suspended tray. Make sure you have a good contact between the icepack and the evaporater surface. Fig. 8 Fig. 8 Defrosting and cleaning For the appliance to operate well and to save energy, it is important that it is cleaned and defrosted regularly. When opening the appliance, moisture en- ters and settles on inner cold surfaces and forms a layer of frost or ice. The layer of ice makes the freezer less ef- cient and must be removed , “defrosted”. It is recommended that the appliance be defrosted every third month. If thermostat is set to a warmer position, remember to check the temperature in the vaccine compartment Defrosting The water-packs stored and the humidity of the air gradually causes frost and ice to form in the freezer compartment. A thin layer of frost or ice does not a󰀨ect freezer performance, but a thick layer could cause the freezer not to cool water-packs satisfac- tory. Small amounts of loose frost can be removed using a plastic scraper. Never use electrical apparatus or sharp im- plements as these may damage the inside of the appliance. When the layer of frost and ice exceeds 4-5 mm the freezer should be completely defrosted. Proceed as follows:

1. Before defrosting, vaccines and/or

water-packs must be moved to another working freezer or cold box with ice- packs.

2. Switch o󰀨 the appliance.

3. Open the drainage plug placed inside the

freezer compartment.

4. Place a tray under the defrost water

in the freezer, close the lid and wait approx. 30 minutes before removing loose frost with the plastic scraper.

6. To prevent water from damaging the

oor during defrosting, it is advisable to check the defrost water tray from time to time and to cover the oor around the defrost water drain to protect against ice and splashes. When all the frost and ice have melted, clean the inside cabinet, as well lid, lid gasket, and outside of the cabinet using water with a mild, perfume- free detergent.

7. Dry the freezer with

a soft cloth, and make sure no moisture is remaining after cleaning.

8. Reinsert the internal drainage plug, and

check lid gasket is not faulty.

9. Switch on the appliance, and make sure

it is freezing (Temperatures decreasing)

10. Check water-packs are not leaking

before returning them to the freezer compartment. Store water-packs and vaccines according instructions, approx. 5 minutes after having switched it on. Close the lid Cleaning

1. Once the appliance is defrosted it must

2. Clean the inside of the appliance with a

mixture of lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

3. Allow the cleaned parts to dry completely.

4.Clean the outside of the appliance with a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild detergent or soap. 5.Close the lid and follow the procedures in ” Cool down of the appliance” page 710

Trouble shooting Fault Possible cause Remedy Compressor is not run- ning, and the ice packs are not cold Be patient, it is most likely that the compressor will start within a few minutes. If this is not the case, check the fol- lowing: - Check that power is connected. - Check the fuse and replace it if necessary. - If the above is OK, call technical supervisor. Compressor is running, and the temperature is too high The ventilation grille is blocked. The lid is not closed properly. The temperature in the room in which the appliance is installed is too high. Ensure unhindered air circulation. Ensure that the lid is closed properly. Shield the appliance against direct sun light and ensure more ventilation to the room. No temperature is displayed The thermometer is broken. There is not enough light for the solar sensor. Change the thermometer. Turn on the light.11
