Condensation Water; Cleaning - Dometic TCW 3000 SDD Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

• In order to assure a complete freezing of the icelining waterpacks it is advisable to start loading the
TCW3000SDD with the vaccines after 1 week of operation.
• When the temperature inside is observed to be
steady for several hours within the required
range, only then the vaccines to be preserved
should be transferred to the TCW3000SDD.
• The vaccines are advised to be kept in the
baskets provided.
• After storing the vaccines keep the lid properly
closed and locked.
• When fresh vaccines are stored in the
TCW3000SDD, the cabinet temperature may go
up initially but should fall and come to the
required range after few hours.
• The cabinet temperature may vary depending
upon various factors, such as,
• the ambient temperature
• the intensity and duration of solar radiation
• amount of vaccine preserved in the TCW3000SDD
• frequency of lid opening
• circulation of air around the TCW3000SDD

CONDENSATION WATER

• The moisture in the air, which enters the cabinet due to lid opening is attracted by the cold surfaces
inside. The moisture will condensate on these cold surfaces. The condensation water is collected at
the bottom of the inner cabinet and must be
evacuated on a regular basis (at least once a
week) using the drainage plug on the front side of
the cabinet.
• Open the drainage plug at the bottom front side
the cabinet. Keep a suitable container under the
drain hose to collect the water.
• Close the drainage plug after all water is
evacuated.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT :
Before cleaning the TCW3000SDD, the vaccines preserved in it will have to be removed and stored
temporarily in other working refrigerator. If a second refrigerator is not available, the vaccines
will have to be preserved in Cold-Box or Vaccine carrier.
• Switch off the TCW3000SDD and disconnect it from power supply.
• Prepare the temporary storage and transfer the vaccines and preserve them properly with care.
• Gently remove the cabinet frame and the complete inner liner by holding it on its two opposite sides
and lifting it uniformly.
• Clean all parts inside and outside the cabinet, the lid and the lid gaskets with warm water and mild
detergent. Allow the cleaned parts to dry completely.
• Examine the waterpacks for any leakage. A defective waterpack will have to be replaced.
• After the evaporator surface is free of condensation water, put back carefully the inner liner into its
position.
• Replace the cabinet frame.
• Close the lid. Connect the power supply and switch on the TCW3000SDD.
• Allow it to run and observe the cabinet temperature on the display.
• Put back the vaccines into the TCW3000SDD from the temporary storage, only when it has attained
safe recom mended temperature range for storage of the vaccines.
