CHECK FOR SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE
Before leaving the factory, each cabinet is thoroughly inspected and its performance is tested to assure
proper operating temperature.
At the moment you receive your refrigerator, check the crate thoroughly for signs of shipping damage. If
there is external damage, there could be internal damage as well, and uncrating should be done while
the carrier’s representative is present. In any case, equipment should be uncrated as soon as possible,
preferably within five days.
If concealed damage is found, contact the carrier immediately (and save all crating materials) and file
necessary freight claim with him. If damage is severe and obvious, write a brief description of the
evidence on the carrier’s delivery receipt and over the representative’s signature.
The manufacturer is not responsible for in-transit damage and the consignee must file any required
damage claims directly with the carrier.
CHECK FOR ACCESSORIES
Upon receiving your refrigerator, check that all components such as
enclosed.
Also, if you have ordered any additional accessories, check that they have been included.
lids and adjustable bin dividers are
TRANSPORTATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Measure all doorways and passages before moving the cabinet to its final location. If door and
passageways are too narrow to allow movement or installation of the cabinet, you may stand it in an
upright position, laying the bottom part on pads or thick blankets to avoid damage to the cabinet finish.
After the cabinet is set upright, check for oil leakage in the compressor compartment. If leakage is found,
call a qualified service person before attempting to operate the cooler. If no leakage is found, wait at least
½ hour before to putting the cooler into operation.
To move the cabinet, hold it by the inferior base.
Do not let it fall abruptly.

WHERE TO LOCATE THE CABINET
Locate equipment on a surface strong enough to support the combined weight of the cabinet and product
load.
The surface must be level and solid enough to prevent vibration of the motor.
Failure to level the cabinet could inhibit proper drainage.
Locate the refrigerator in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Do not locate any cooler in direct sunlight,
near heating ducts, radiators, stoves, or other heat sources. Excessive heat will definitely affect the
performance of the refrigerator and may cause condensation. In winter, keep it in a place where the oil
inside the compressor will not freeze..
Cabinet should be installed at least 8” from the wall at the back to assure proper air circulation and motor
ventilation.
REMOVING THE CRATE AND SKID
Remove the crate carefully to prevent damage to the exterior surfaces of the cabinet. The cabinet is
fastened with screws to a wooden skid. It is not necessary to remove the wooden skid; but if desired,
follow these steps:
1. Elevate the cabinet and skid.
2. Use a 5/8” wrench to loosen the screws that tie down the skid to the base of the cabinet (one at
each corner) and remove the skid.
