If the unit was transported upright, wait at least 1 hour before switching on. If it was laid down at any point during transport or delivery, stand it upright and leave it for at least 4 hours (24 hours if you are unsure) so the compressor oil can settle. Switching on too soon can damage the compressor.

Allow 2 to 4 hours for the unit to reach its set temperature before loading. For best results, run the unit empty until it reaches temperature, then load it with pre-chilled product. Loading warm stock will extend the pull-down time considerably.

Standard Husky units are designed for indoor use only and must be kept away from rain, direct sunlight and extremes of temperature. Our Alfresco range is specifically designed for outdoor use and tested to IPX4 standard, with features such as heated glass doors to cope with outdoor conditions.

This depends on the climate class of your unit, shown on the rating plate and in the user manual. Each unit is designed to operate within a set ambient temperature range. In an unheated garage or outbuilding the temperature can fall below this range in winter, which stops the thermostat working correctly, and rise above it in summer, which makes the unit work harder.
