First Time Operating Instructions
Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are all
removed from the unit. Be sure to keep track of all included parts
and pieces before discarding packaging materials. It is advised that
you keep the original box and packing materials in case you are
ever to move or ship the unit in the future.
Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before use; this allows the
cooling components to settle from transit. The instruction manual
should be thoroughly read before use.
