Cooling System Operation and Loading

Follett Edge Series freezers are preset to operate at –20 C. This is the optimal storage temperature to maintain

vaccine and biologic products within –15 C to –25 C throughout the usable storage area.

Once the freezer has been powered on and maintaining your desired temperature, slowly introduce product into

the cabinet in small batches and allow the temperature to recover. This procedure should be performed until the

cabinet is full.

The cooling system is designed to pull to set point range within 30 minutes of initial power up.

Defrost

Follett Edge Series freezers must be manually defrosted to keep the evaporator coil frost free. Follett

recommends defrosting the freezer monthly, or more often if required, to ensure proper and efficient operation.

The defrosting is activated when DEF key is pressed more than 5 seconds.

Remove contents and store in another freezer before beginning the defrost process. Place cotton bath towels

at the bottom of the freezer chamber before you begin to defrost, water will fall. Keep the door open in order

to speed up the defrost process. If bath towels are soaked, remove from the chamber, and replace with the

dry towels to prevent water from dripping out of chamber. Do not try to physically remove ice, that may cause

damage to the evaporator. After defrosting, remove wet towels, dry inside chamber with a dry, soft clothes before

restarting the unit.

Pressing the DEF key for more than 5 seconds will restart the operation of the freezer.
