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.
