Remember that taking care of your equipment not only improves its efficiency and durability, but also saves energy and protects your investment.

With these simple tips, your equipment will perform at its best for longer.
During installation
Proper installation is the first step to ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of your equipment. Follow these tips for optimal installation:
- Place your equipment in a clean, ventilated space on a level floor. This ensures adequate airflow and prevents overheating. Also, leave a space of 15-20 cm between the equipment and the wall to allow for proper ventilation.
- Keep your equipment away from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and rain. High internal temperatures can damage delicate components.
Make sure the drain plug is securely in place to prevent leaks and moisture problems. - Let the equipment rest for at least two hours before plugging it in after moving it. This allows the internal fluids to stabilize.
- Connect the equipment to an independent power source using a 12-gauge, 110-120 V cable.
Make sure the equipment is always grounded; never tamper with the wires. This protects against possible electric shocks.
General Care
It’s well known that regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your equipment in top condition. But on a daily basis, you can do many things to care for your equipment. For example, remember to keep the equipment doors tightly closed every day to prevent loss of cold air and improve energy efficiency. Also, when the equipment is unplugged, leave the doors open to prevent moisture buildup and unpleasant odors.
What is the best way to clean my equipment?
- When cleaning the exterior of the equipment, use mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents such as alcohol, thinner, Varsol, or gasoline, as they can damage the surface.
- Remove frost using a plastic spatula to avoid damaging the surfaces.
- With the equipment unplugged, remove the grilles and clean the condenser and compressor. This improves efficiency and prolongs the equipment’s lifespan.
By following these tips, you can ensure greater energy efficiency, savings, and durability for your equipment. Remember that proper care of your equipment depends on you.
