  • Connect water inlet and outlet lines using unplated copper tubing; flush lines before connection.
  • Install a shut‑off valve and in‑line strainer between the supply and chiller.
  • Connect electrical wiring to match voltage and phase shown on the serial plate; ensure proper grounding.
  • Turn on water supply, purge air from lines, and check for leaks.
  • Restore electrical power and verify proper operation.
  • For detailed steps, refer to the installation manual provided in the package or contact a licensed plumber.


Maintenance

  • Inspect the chiller twice per year for proper operation and performance.
  • Clean cabinet louvers and condenser fins regularly to maintain ventilation.

  • Verify condenser fan spins freely; replace if needed.
