EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This ABT-5 Blast Freezer (S/N 124246) was returned in April 2024 due to incorrect labeling on the unit nameplate and customer dissatisfaction. The unit was never installed at the end-user location. After return, the unit underwent technical inspection and has been confirmed as new and complete, ready for resale in the used equipment market.

- Immediate return request before any operational use
Technical Analysis:
- The unit was manufactured for US market operation (60 Hz, 208-230V)
