Getting Started 

 

If the vaccine cabinet was shipped to you, please wait at least three hours prior to turning   it 

on. This will allow the oil in the compressor time to settle after shipping. 

 

 

Avem  Quirks  Medisafe  refrigerators  are  powered  by  electric  current,  which  can  cause 

serious injury. Any installation, cleaning, or troubleshooting must be conducted with the electrical 
power source disconnected from the unit. 

 

The following precautions should be taken while the unit is in operation: 

 

 

Ensure the appropriate power is supplied to the unit. Note:  Avem Quirks Medisafe units are  
designed to operate at 220-240V, 50Hz. 

 

Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple receptacle 

 

Electrical components should not come into contact with water 

 

Ensure the power cord is not damaged. If the cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by 
the manufacturer, a certified service agent or qualified service professional. 

 

 

It is strongly  recommended  that  any  servicing of  the  unit  be  performed  by  Avem  Quirks 

Australia. 

 

 

Installation 

 

Place the Medisafe refrigerator in a location with a flat surface that is approximately level, with 
reasonable clearance from any walls, and without exposure to direct sunlight. 

 

Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top. This will reduce power consumption and allow 
the internal cooling system to function correctly. The unit is not to be placed in  confined areas 
where air flow and heat dissipation are restricted. 

 

Ensure  that  the  appropriate  power  is  supplied  to  the  unit.  Note:  Avem  Quirks  Medisafe 
refrigerators  are  designed  to  operate  at  220-240V,  50Hz.  National  and  local  codes  provide 
specific  electrical  and  mechanical  installation  requirements  and  recommendations  covering 
equipment and equipment wiring. 

 

Plug in and turn on the power to the Medisafe refrigerator. Ensure the power point is secure, 
that the refrigerator cannot be accidentally unplugged or switched off. 

 

 

When the power is first turned on, the Min-Max temperature display will show an alert “PF” 

flashing  on  the  display.  This  informs  the  operator  there  has  been  a  loss  of  power,  and  can  be 
acknowledged by pressing the red “set” button on the Min-Max display. 

 

 

Basic Operation 

 

The power failure alert “PF” should be acknowledged by pressing the red “

set

” button on the 

Min-Max temperature display. 

 

The Medisafe refrigerator is pre-set for operation. No buttons on the controller are to be touched 
except the red “

set/mute

” button, used to silence the audible alarm. 

 

 

It  is  recommended  to  run  the  Medisafe  refrigerator  for  6  hours  prior  to  loading  with 

vaccines.
