▪Never operate the BioFridge unit at a tilt exceeding 30 degrees for an
extended period of time. The oil reservoir will not lubricate the
compressor motor properly at angles above 30 degrees and damage
may result to the compressor.
▪When the BioFridge is plugged into the Detachable Battery Backup
System (DBBS) and running on the DBBS’s 12VDC system, the Unit will
operate for up to 18 hours as a portable refrigerator, and for up to 9
hours as a portable freezer.
▪Whenever possible, pre-cool the refrigerator and its contents in
advance using a 110-Volt AC power source (a typical wall outlet in the
USA and Canada) before taking it off the AC power grid (unplugging it
from the wall outlet).
▪BioFridge units are equipped with a GREEN light indicator located on
the control panel. The compressor is running when this light is
illuminated.
▪At least 4 inches of ventilation space around a BioFridge unit is
recommended in order to properly dissipate heat. Keeping the unit
well-ventilated will improve performance.
▪Whenever possible, avoid operating the BioFridge unit in direct
sunlight; doing so will decrease the unit's efficiency.
▪Many factors can affect the efficiency of the Unit. Factors include:
· the ambient temperature outside the Unit
· the ventilation area around the Unit
· the number of items inside the unit
· the starting temperature of the items put in the unit.
Placing warm items inside the unit in hot ambient temperatures, and
leaving the lid open, will negatively affect the performance.
▪Using the Unit is the best way to learn its capabilities.
