APPLICATIONS

This cooler is the ideal choice if you wish to refrigerate medical supplies. It allows precise control of temperature. The SPRF26 and SPRF36 series can safely hold medical supplies within their required temperature range of 2-8°C and as low as -15°C, while the SPRF86 series is designed to safely protect refrigerated medical supplies between 2-8°C. The SPF25Z is a freezer, which can be set between -27°C to -20°C. Refer to the table below for suggested temperature set points.

Before storing temperature-sensitive material, check that the cooling capacity of the unit meets the temperature recommendation listed on the medication.
The M/M2 versions come with an installed lock and trolley or pre-installed wheels for protection and easy transportation. These coolers can be set at refrigerator or select freezer temperatures.

CAUTION: The SPFZ25 uses a flammable refrigerant. Use care when handling and operating to avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

LOCATION OF PARTS

The SPFZ25 will be marked with an interior load line. It is recommended to store items below that line to achieve storage temperatures from -15°C to -20°C.

NOTE: Pack vaccines or more temperature sensitive materials at the bottom of the storage area, where the unit is coldest.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE

Check to ensure all of the following items have been included in the carton box along with this manual:

• 1 Portable Refrigerator/Freezer 1 12V Power Cord
• 1 110V AC/DC Power Adapter 2 keys (“M/M2” series units)
• 1 trolley (SPRF26M only)

Cleaning Before First Use
After you remove the cooler from its packaging, clean the inside before using. See the cleaning instruction in the Cleaning section of this manual.

INSTALLATION

1. Place the cooler on a dry surface where it will be protected from water or moisture.
2. The cooler should not be used where it may be exposed to rain.
3. The cooler should be installed in a position that allows for adequate ventilation.
4. Never locate the unit anywhere the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 30°C (86°F).

CAUTION: Allow the unit to sit upright for 24 hours before turning it on, to allow the compressor  lubricant to drain.

Electrical Connection
This equipment can be operated from either a DC or an AC power source. Both require the use of the 12V power cord supplied with the unit. With an AC source, the included AC/DC adapter must be plugged into the end of the 12V power cord, then connected to the AC power source, such as a wall socket.

DC Source
Check that the battery voltage falls within the appropriate input range before connecting the unit. If the voltage is out of range, the unit will not operate. Excessive voltage could damage the electrical components of the cooler.

AC Source
Be sure to use the AC/DC adapter when your power source is AC, otherwise the cooler could be damaged.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

The cooler can be operated with 12V/ 24V DC power. Prior to connection, check whether the voltage indicated on the manufacturer’s label is in accordance with the battery voltage. Connect your cooler to the data port socket of your vehicle with the 12V/ 24V DC cord.

1. Plug the 12V power cord into the cord socket on the side of the unit (see diagrams on page 5).
2. If using a DC power source, such as the data port of a vehicle, plug the other end of the cord into the power source.
3. If using an AC power source, connect the AC/DC adapter to the of the power cord, then plug the adapter into a wall socket or other AC power source.
4. Press the power switch to turn on the cooler. You will hear the sound of the compressor starting.
5. Press the UP button or the DOWN button to adjust the temperature. Pressing either button with adjust the temperature by 1°C.

NOTE: The compressor will shut off if the internal temperature of the unit is 1°C or more below the set temperature. When the inbox temperature is higher than the set-temperature by 2°C, the compressor will turn on again, after an interval of about two minutes.

Celsius Temperature Readout
You’ll notice that the temperature readout on the LED display of your cooler is in Celsius degrees rather than Fahrenheit. You can use this graph to quickly convert one temperature scale into the other. For example, to change 32°F into °C find 32 on the horizontal Fahrenheit scale, trace up to the inclined line, then move left to the vertical axis. That reading, 0, is the Celsius equivalent of 32°F. Reverse the procedure to change Celsius to Fahrenheit.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

• Place the cooler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Always cool items before storing them in the cooler.
• Do not set the temperature colder than you require.
• Do not open the cooler more than necessary.
• Do not leave the lid open longer than necessary.

STORAGE
When storing your cooler, we recommend that you leave the lid open slightly. This will help keep mold from forming and prevent stale odors. It is a good idea to follow the cleaning procedure (below) before storing your cooler.

CLEANING

• Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water.
• Avoid getting water droplets in the vents, as this may lead to damage to the electronic components.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to completely dry the cooler completely after cleaning.
• Clean the unit after use and before storage.

NOTE: Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as this will damage the cooler. Do not use scouring agents or scrapers when cleaning your cooler.
