Tips for First-Time Use

1. Allow the unit to sit upright for at least 3-4 hours before powering on. Shipping carriers may set the unit on its side, which causes the refrigerant to pool in certain areas Standing the unit upright for 3-4 hours allows the refrigerant to move freely within the coils.
2. Some parts with sharp edges may cause injury, so gloves are highly recommended for unpacking and installing.
3. Run the unit continuously for 24 hours after letting the unit stand  upright for 3-4 hours. This will give even the smallest and technically unavoidable air bubbles in the coolant circuit that may have been created during transport from our factory to your doorstep the opportunity to migrate to the top of the cooling circuit.
4. f you have any difficulties during installation, please contact Customer Support Team via [email protected] for help.
5. If you have any problems with your product, please send us an email before submitting a return request, as there might be a simple solution for your issue.
