Do not discard the packaging until the cord is located and the bath is operating. If the bath shows external or internal damage contact the transportation company and file a damage claim. Under ICC regulations, this is your responsibility. The bath does not have handles. Take into account its weight, 80 pounds (36 kilograms), CAUTION when unpacking and transporting. We recommend two people lift it from the bottom. CAUTION Position baths in an upright position for 24 hours before starting. This will ensure the lubrication oil has drained back into the compressor.
