Practical routines for the freezers in ANA Futura

Important practical routines when moving a freezer or using evacuation freezers.

Moving of freezers

If a freezer needs to be moved:

The owner will be contacted by the ANA Futura service team.
Freezers are always moved in the morning so that there is plenty of time to follow up that the freezer is working as it should after reconnecting.
The service team is responsible for the move and initial follow-up (until the next day), after which the responsibility passes to the owner.
