A practical commissioning checklist:

Inspect on delivery: check for transit damage and confirm the model code matches your order.

Move into position safely: keep the cabinet upright, protect door seals and hinges, and avoid putting strain on the top section.

Site it correctly: place on a firm, level floor and leave ventilation space around the cabinet so heat can escape (do not box it into tight joinery).

Keep away from heat sources: ovens, dishwashers, direct sun and tight corners can cause poor temperature performance.

Let it stand before powering on: if it has been tilted during handling, allow time for the refrigeration system to settle before switching on (follow your model manual’s guidance).

Power supply: plug directly into a suitable socket (avoid extension leads) and ensure the supply is stable.

First start and pull-down: switch on, set the target temperature, and allow the cabinet to reach temperature before loading food.

Load correctly: don’t block air vents, don’t overpack shelves, and avoid putting warm food straight in.

Verify temperature: confirm with an independent thermometer after stabilisation and record it for your HACCP checks.

If you need site-specific clearances or electrical requirements, always follow the instructions in the manual for your exact model/variant.
