Installation
This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use
the freezer only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer,
follow these important first steps.
INSTALLATION
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
For most efficient operation, the freezer should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop
below 40ºF (5ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC).
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides 3/8 inch
Back & Top 1 inch
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your freezer.
Door Opening
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor
must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. It is VERY IMPORTANT
for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled
during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30ºF warmer than room temperature
can be expected.

If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow
additional space so the door can be opened wider.
