Frequently asked questions

Can the engineer guarantee the load temperature?

No. They can assess and repair the unit; cargo acceptance depends on recorded temperatures and the responsible quality decision.

Should I keep the doors closed?

Normally minimising door opening helps retain temperature, but follow cargo and safety procedures for the specific incident.
