4.3 Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation
4.3.1 Moving the freezer inside a building
Before moving the freezer unlock the front castors. The castors are designed only for moving the freezer
inside a building. This is possible only on a floor without joints (e.g. no tiles) and when avoiding shocks. In
this case, the freezer must not be empty (max. load, see technical data, chap. 26.3).
If you want to move the chamber across a large door threshold or into an elevator to change the floor,
empty the freezer and put all shelves on the bottom of the interior.
If you incline the chamber by less than 5°, you can directly turn it on after moving (at least 10 minutes after
turning off). Otherwise, wait at least 8 hours until putting it into operation again.
As soon as the chamber has reached its destination, lock the front castors.
Wear suitable shoes (safety shoes) when moving the freezer.
Over very short distances (within reach of the power cable), you can move the freezer while operating.
If you turned off the chamber (turning off at the main power switch, pulling the power plug), wait at least 10
minutes after moving until you turn on again the chamber in order to protect the refrigeration machine
against damage.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the refrigeration system due to too quick restart of the refrigera-
tion machine after moving the chamber.
Damage to the chamber.
After moving the freezer wait 10 minutes before turning on the freezer again.
To move the freezer through narrow passages (doors, narrow corridors), open the chamber door:
