2. REcEIPt InsPEctIon
All Kairak products are factory tested for performance and are free from defects when
shipped. The utmost care has been taken in crating this product to protect against damage
in transit.
You should carefully inspect your Kairak unit for damage during delivery. If damage is
detected, you should save all the crating materials and make note on the carrier’s Bill Of
Lading describing the damage. A freight claim should be filed immediately. If damage
is subsequently noted during or immediately after installation, contact the respective
carrier and file a freight claim. There is a fifteen (15) day limit to file freight damage with
the carrier. Under no condition may a damaged unit be returned to Kairak without first
obtaining written permission (return authorization). You may contact Kairak customer care
at (714) 870-8661 to request a return.
3. InstAllAtIon
3A - locAtIon:
Select a proper location for your unit, away from extreme heat or cold. Allow enough
clearance between the unit and the side wall in order to make use of the door stay open
feature at 1200 (self-closing feature operates up to 900). The door(s) must be able to
open a minimum of 900 in order to make use of the maximum clear door width.
3B - PAcKAGInG:
Your Kairak unit is shipped from the factory bolted to a sturdy wooden pallet in stretch
wrapped material.
Most exterior stainless steel surfaces have a protective vinyl covering to prevent scratching
during manufacturing, shipping and installation. After the unit is installed in place of
application peel, remove and discard the covering from all surfaces.
To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we suggest that the cabinet remain
bolted to the pallet during all transportation to the point of final installation. The bolts
can then be removed with a 1/2” socket wrench. Avoid laying the unit on its front, side
or back for removal of the pallet.
NOTE: Kairak does not recommend laying the unit on its front, side or back. If
you must, please allow the unit to remain in an upright position for 24 hours
before plugging it in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may settle.
