Installation Guidelines:
A documented site survey must be conducted prior to installing a cooler in a facility.
Copies of all surveys should be held at the installer's premises. The purpose of the
survey is to ensure that the cooler is installed in a suitable location.
The general guidelines below should be followed:
•
The cooler must be located on a floor that is smooth, level and easily
cleaned.
•
Do not locate the cooler in direct sunlight.
•
Do not locate the cooler next to a radiator.
•
Do not locate the cooler within or directly adjacent to toilet facilities.
•
Do not locate the cooler in constantly damp areas, beneath dripping pipes,
or where water may collect underfoot.
The survey should examine the following:
•
Location of electrical supply
o The cooler should be installed no more than 2 meters from the nearest
electrical socket.
o It should be possible to access the plug when the cooler is in its final
position
•
Location of potable mains water supply
o The cooler must be attached to a potable mains water source
o The length of small bore tubing (usually ¼") used to connect the cooler
to the mains water supply should be kept to a minimum and must not
exceed 20 meters.
o If the planned cooler location is more than 20 meters from the
connection point to the mains supply, then a new mains water feed will
have to be added to the supply
