Putting Into Operation
4.1. Positioning
Ensure before installation that the space reserved for the unit is adequate to allow
normal operation and maintenance. After carefully unpacking the unit, remove the
PVC protective film and all other packaging materials used to protect the equipment
in transit.
Place the cabinet on a flat and even surface. The cabinet MUST only be lifted from
the exterior of the base to avoid the possibility of damage, particularly when using
mechanical means to site.
If the unit has been transported or stored in any position other than upright, wait at
least 2 hours before switching on.
The equipment must be installed in a suitable environment and not exposed to
open air or exposed to rain. The correct position to site the unit is away from direct
heat sources (radiators/cookers etc) and out of direct sunlight and draughts. Ensure
there is suitable ventilation around the unit, failure to adhere to these guidelines will
result in adverse performance or failure of your equipment.
4.2
Initial Cleaning
Before putting into operation, all parts of the cabinet must be cleaned. For the
interior of the cabinets, a solution of mild detergent and warm water is
recommended using a moistened cloth. Dry both the interior and exterior of the
cabinet with a soft dry cloth. Do NOT use harsh abrasive detergents or cleaning
materials such as scourers, wire wool etc. Use extra caution when cleaning moving
parts with sharp edges such as evaporator, condenser etc and always use
protective gloves.
