Installation Instructions
Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, luke-
warm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circu-
late freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the freezer 5 inches away from the wall.
1) Locate the freezer in such a manner that extension cords are not necessary.
2) Due to lid and hinge arrangement, it is impossible to install your freezer directly against the wall. The spacing on the
back is essential for maintaining proper air circulation around the freezer.
3) Select a location with reasonable year round temperatures. We do not recommend operating the freezer when sur-
rounding air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), though it will not harm the freezer to stand in any temperature below 0°C
(32°F), provided the temperature control is set to avoid running the unit. In order to keep operating cost down, do not
place freezer near a stove, furnace, heat register or in direct sunlight. If the place selected for your freezer is damp or
moist, as in basements, place freezer on wooden blocks (two or three 2x4’s under entire length will ensure adequate
support).
