1 RECEIVING AND INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Up on receiving your new Asber Refrigerator, check the package and the machine for any
damages that may have occurred during transportation. Visually inspect the exterior of the
package. I f damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier. Any damage should be
noted and reported on the delivering carrier’s receipt.
In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet up on opening, there is concealed damage to
the equipment notify, the carrier immediately. Notification should be made verbally as well as
in written form. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment.
Retain all crating material until inspection has been made. Contact the dealer through which

4 INSTALLATION

4.1 UNCRATING

Remove the outer packaging. Cut the 4 clamps that hold the refrigerator to the skid. Lift the
unit off the skid.

If machine was laid down during this operation, remember to leave the cabinet
up right for 24 hours before connecting to power source.

4.2 LOCATION

Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen
has a floor strong enough to support the total weigh to the unit and its contents. For the most
efficient operation, be sure to provide at least three (3) inches between sides, back and top of
the unit.

THE MACHINES NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED 2 FEET AWAY FROM ANY HEAT SOURCES.

The unit should not be installed under ambient temperatures higher than 100 °F.
If the relative humidity is higher than 60 %, the door frames may sweat water. This is not a
malfunctioning of the unit.

WARNING
The following actions will void your warranty:

-Modification of power cord.

-Connecting the unit to any extension cord.

-Neglecting to install the castors or optional legs.

Inside cabinet:

The first cleaning must happen when you unpack the unit and before it is turned ON. For
this, you have to clean the unit with warm water and mild detergent. When it is cleaned and
dry, proceed to install accessories and plug your unit in to a dedicated outlet. WAIT 24 HOURS

BEFORE PLACING PRODUCT IN THE UNIT. This will guarantee that it is working properly.
Consequential damages are not covered under warranty.

Outside cabinet:

Be sure that the unit has access to ample air to breathe. Avoid hot corners and locations near
stoves and ovens. It is recommended the unit be installed no closer than 3” from any wall. The
place where the refrigerator is placed must be open and clean. This will reduce the amount of
debris and dirt on the condenser fan and coil.
