Notes
Have someone push against the top of the freezer to help take
some weight off the leveling foot, making it easier to adjust.
Finding a suitable location
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer
when it is fully loaded.
This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the sides pf the freezer and the
walls, 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall, and
11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top of the freezer and the ceiling. This
allows for proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep thefreezer level.
If you locate the freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the
hinge side for the door to swing open.
Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a
stove, heater or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
temperatures may also prevent the freezer from performing properly.
Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
Leveling your freezer
It is very important for the freezer to be level. If the freezer is not leveled
during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To level your freezer, rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) the
freezer or counter-clockwise (two lower).
Providing a proper power supply
Check your local power source. This freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz
power supply.
Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this freezer. We recommend that the freezer be
plugged into an electrical circuit serving only this appliance and that the
circuit cannot be turned off with a switch or pull-chain.
