I. Transportation precautions
1. Preparation before transportation
Fix internal parts: Empty the contents of the refrigerator, and use tape or foam to fix movable parts such as shelves and drawers to prevent shaking and collision.
Packaging protection: Keep the original packaging (carton + foam pad). If there is no original packaging, use shockproof materials to wrap the fuselage, especially the door and corners.
Tilt limit: The tilt angle of the refrigerator should be ≤45° during transportation to prevent the compressor from tilting and causing the refrigeration oil to flow back, affecting performance.
Carrying method: It is prohibited to place it horizontally or inverted (the compressor may be damaged). Multiple people should cooperate to carry it smoothly to avoid severe vibration.
2. Transportation tool selection
Small household refrigerators can be transported by small cars, and large commercial refrigerators need to be transported by trucks and fixed to prevent slipping.
Avoid transportation on rainy days to prevent the circuit from getting wet.
II. Standing before installationStanding time:
Household refrigerator: Stand for 2-4 hours (extended to 6-8 hours if the tilt is large).
Commercial refrigerator: let it stand for 12-24 hours (the oil of large compressors needs to be fully refluxed).
Purpose of standing: let the refrigeration oil that may be offset during transportation flow back to the compressor to avoid insufficient lubrication after startup.
III. Installation environment requirements
Location selection:
Ventilation and heat dissipation: stay away from walls or other furniture, reserve more than 10cm of space on the back and more than 30cm on the top to ensure good heat dissipation.
Ground leveling: use a level to adjust to avoid shaking or noise of the refrigerator; rubber pads can be used for uneven ground.
Ambient temperature: stay away from heat sources such as heaters and stoves, avoid direct sunlight, and the ambient temperature is recommended to be 10-43℃.
Moisture and humidity prevention: avoid humid areas such as bathrooms, and dehumidification equipment is required when humidity is high.
