Transporting And Moving Your Appliance; Before Plugging In; Using Your Appliance For First Time; Important Refrigerant Information - Lec EssenChill BFS200W User Manual

Transporting and Moving your Lec essenChill freezer
The product must be unplugged before moving and should always be moved in the
vertical position. Leave the product to stand for at least 24 hours before reconnecting.
Before you plug your appliance in
IMPORTANT: Ensure that your Lec essenChill unit is left to stand for 24 hours after
transportation prior to switching on, as this will allow the refrigerant to settle.
It is essential that you clean the interior of your unit BEFORE using it for the first time.
We advise that the interior should be wiped with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm
water containing a mild detergent. Rinse with clean lukewarm water, and dry
thoroughly.
DO NOT use soaps, wire wool, scouring powder disinfectants of any kind or detergents
containing acids or abrasives to clean the interior.
Using Appliance for First Time
When unpacking and cleaning are complete, plug the mains lead of your appliance into a
suitable earthed socket and switch on.
IMPORTANT: We also recommend that you leave your essenChill freezer running for
24 hours before filling to ensure it is working properly.
Note: This appliance has been supplied with a factory pre-set temperature of -20°C.

Important Refrigerant Information

All essenChill 200L models contain environmentally-friendly, non ozone depleting
R600a refrigerant, whilst 400L & 600L freezer models contain R134a refrigerant.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit
As R600a and R134a are both flammable gases, it is essential to avoid damage to the
refrigeration circuit during transportation and installation. If the refrigeration
circuit is damaged, avoid using a naked flame in the vicinity of the freezer and
connecting power to the freezer. Also make sure there is good ventilation within the
room.
