Transport instructions for refrigeration appliances

Issue

  • How should the freezer be transported?
  • How should the refrigerator be transported?
  • How should you transport a fridge-freezer?
  • Transport instructions for the refrigerator
  • Can I switch the fridge on immediately after delivery?

Applies to:

  • Refrigerators
  • Freezers
  • Fridge freezers
  • Wine coolers

Resolution

  • We recommend transporting the refrigeration unit in an upright position.
  • If vertical transport is not possible, the fridge/freezer must always be transported on its back.
  • A minimum 15 cm platform (platform height) at the top of the device is sufficient when the car/cart is horizontal.
  • Terrain changes must be taken into account, for example a steep downhill section.
  • After transport, wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the mains (this allows the oil to flow back into the compressor).
  • The recommended waiting time is also indicated in the user manual.
