5. Installation
5.1 General
To guarantee trouble-free operation and effective energy economy, the cold cabinet
should not be installed adjacent to heat sources. Do not place the cabinet near ovens, bain
maries etc. The cabinet is designed for operation in room temperatures of +10ºC to +30ºC.
All cold appliances generate heat while they are running. For this reason they should only
be installed in places with adequate ventilation.
5.2 Transportation and storage
If possible, do not unpack the cabinet until it has been moved near the installation place.
Avoid tilting.
If the cabinet has been tilted sharply before start-up, it is necessary to wait for at least 15
minutes before switching it on. This makes sure that the compressor oil sets into place.
The cabinet should always be stored indoors.
If the cabinet has been stored in a place where the temperature of the cooling unit has fall-
en below 0 ºC, it should not be switched on until the temperature of the cooling unit is at
least +10 ºC. Switching on the cold cabinet with too low temperature may cause malfunc-
tion of the compressor.
5.3 Unpacking the appliance
Unpack the cabinet and remove the white plastic film protecting the shelves.
5.4 Installation
Move the cabinet to its place.
When lifting the cabinet with the help of a mechanical device, make sure that the base
construction is not damaged.
Adjust the cabinet horizontally with adjustable legs. Use a bubble when necessary. Rec-
ommended deviation from the horizontal plane is +-0,5 degrees. All legs should touch the
floor. This guarantees that the doors work properly.
