RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE SYSTEM

Use caution when lifting and check package for damage.

Lift only at the designated hand-hold locations on the shipping container, or fully support the unit from underneath. A

shipment may include one or more boxes containing accessories.

Before opening the container, inspect the packaging for any obvious signs of damage or mishandling.

Write any discrepancy or visual damage on the bill of lading before signing.

Allow the condensing unit to sit for 24 hours prior to start-up. The condensing unit can be placed in the installation

location, piped and evacuated during this time.

Note:

 WhisperKOOL units are manufactured in the USA and tested prior to shipment. 

Review the packing slip to verify contents.

Check the model number to ensure it is correct.

Check that all factory options ordered are listed.

If any items listed on the packing slip do not match your order information,

contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service immediately. 

Check all shipped boxes for the following contents: 

Please leave the unit in its original box until you are ready for installation.  This will allow you to move the product safely without 

damaging it.  When you are ready to remove the product from the box, refer to the installation instructions. 

TIP:

  Save your box and all packaging materials.  They provide the only safe means of transporting/shipping the unit.
