# Warnings and Installation Checklist

### Warning

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** If the Benchy has just been moved do not turn on unless it has been standing for at least 24 hours. Failure to do so will void warranty. Stand the Benchy in an upright position for at least 24 hours before plugging inot the mains socket.

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** Ensure there is at least 100mm clearance on each *vented* side of the Benchy to allow adequate airflow. Not allowing adequate ventilation will void warranty, reduce performance and increase power consumption.

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** Avoid external heat sources such as direct sunlight, gas stoves and other heat generating appliances

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** Only use KegLand approved cleaners and sanitisers to clean the product lines

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** Do not set the temperature below 0°C or you risk freezing the beverage you are dispensing

<img src="/files/IKNFTBPIu6FkepsnORmp" alt="" data-size="line"> **Warning** Only use on a flat surface or at a **maximum** angle of 20° off level

### Installation Requirements

#### Only Use On Flat Surface

The Benchy Carbon should only be used on a flat surface or at a maximum angle of 20 degrees off
&#x20;level. **DO NOT** operate this unit on its side or at angles greater than 20° or permanent
&#x20;damage to the compressor will occur.

#### Provide Adequate ventilation & Avoid External External Heat Sources

In order to achieve the best possible performance from the Benchy Carbon we recommend 100mm
&#x20;clearance around air vents. External heat sources such as direct sunlight, gas stoves or other heat
&#x20;generating appliances should be avoided.

#### Do Not Use Battery Chargers or DC Generators

Never use a battery charger, transformer/rectifier, battery eliminator or AC/DC converter to power
&#x20;the product (unless supplied by KegLand). Such equipment can, under certain circumstances,
&#x20;deliver current at a voltage which may damage the inverter. In order to use these devices always
&#x20;ensure that a battery is connected in parallel between the charging equipment and the product
