Moving
the
freezer
When
transporting
the freezer
it
must be kept
in the upright
position.
If the freezer
is inadvertently
tilted
beyond
45 degrees
or was
in a lay
down
position
for any
reason
e.g.
shipping,
the unit must not be
operated
for at least 24 hours, It
must be placed in the upright posi-
tion for this period to allow the inter-
nal oil and refrigerant
Io stabilize in
the system. Ignoring this precaution-
ary measure may result in damage
to the sealed system and compressor.
Defrost

Never
use a sharp
