2. Placement:
   • Place the unit on a strong, level surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.
   • Ensure adequate clearance (at least 4 inches) around the back and sides for proper ventilation. Do not place the unit near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
3. Caster Check: The unit comes with pre-installed castors. Ensure they are securely locked once the unit is in its final position to prevent accidental movement.
4. Power Connection: Connect the unit to a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Refer to the specifications for voltage and amperage requirements. Do not use multi-outlet adapters or extension cords.
5. Initial Startup: After positioning and connecting power, allow the unit to stand for at least 2 hours before turning it on. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Turn on the unit and allow it to reach the desired operating temperature before loading products.
