Locating the Data Plate
The dataplate bearing the model and serial number and technical data is located on the
upper right-hand section, inside the appliance (for Portable units, it is located on the inside
of the lid). An additional, identical dataplate is located on the compressor’s electronic
module.
The first three digits of the serial number indicate the Year and Week of manufacture.
Example: If your Serial Number = 0123456 it means:
Inspection and Handling
Ensure that the appliance is not damaged. Any damage resulting from transport must be
reported to the dealer no later than 24 hours after delivery. A notice is printed on the top of
each box, describing the general procedures required.
Handle the appliance with care. Take care when positioning the unit (especially in the case
of refrigerators with remote condensing units), to avoid any obstruction to the connection
lines. Always ensure that the appliance and remote condensing unit (where applicable), are
installed on a dry, flat surface that will not allow it to slide around.
Ventilation is a requirement for the condensing system. Allow for air entry and discharge for
the condensing system. Air entry and discharge requires a minimum of 50 total sq. inches
each. (A T-80 unit requires a minimum of 75 total sq. inches for air entry and discharge.)
A lower entry, and upper discharge is preferred. (See Fig. 5, page 21)
When installing the appliance in campers, motorhomes etc., install air vents connected
directly to the outside.
Install appliance away from heat sources in a dry and well-ventilated area. Avoid direct
contact with water. The appliances are
not waterproof.
