3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking and Placement

  1. Remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective films.
  2. Inspect the freezer for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.
  3. Place the freezer on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting its weight when fully loaded.

  • Maintain sufficient distance between the shelf and the back of the machine to allow for proper airflow.
  • Avoid placing items directly against the rear wall or obstructing the internal vents.
