3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the freezer for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.

3.3 Leveling and Casters
The freezer comes with 4 casters, including 2 front locking casters. Ensure the unit is level by adjusting the casters. Lock the front casters to prevent movement once the freezer is in its final position.

Regularly clean the interior of the freezer with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. The removable installation board makes it easy to access the condenser coil for cleaning and service.
