4 Storage
The food transport boxes must be stacked correctly and stored in dry, clean rooms (see

moisture contained in the room condenses on the surface of the food transport box. The
moisture film creates the risk of a short circuit or electric shock when the food transport
box is connected. Only operate the food transport box when it has reached room
temperature. Please ONLY stack 5 food transport boxes on top of each other at the most.
