Follow these tips when moving the unit
to final location:
NEVER transport unit on its side. If
an upright position is not possible, lay
unit on its back. Allow unit to sit
upright for approximately 30 minutes
prior to plugging unit in to assure oil
return to the compressor. Plugging
unit in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.
Use an appliance dolly when moving
unit. ALWAYS truck unit from its
side–NEVER from its front or back.
Protect outside finish of unit during
transport by wrapping cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between
the unit and dolly.
Secure unit to dolly firmly with straps
or bungee cords. Thread straps
through handles when possible. DO
NOT overtighten. Overtightening
restraints may dent or damage
