Read the following items before choosing the
location for the freezer. See “Completing the
installation” below before sliding freezer into
place.
Pick a safe place, indoors, away from
flammables such as gasoline.
Check the strength of the floor. It should
hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer.
Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of air space
at top and both sides of freezer.
Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of air space
between the back of the freezer and the
wall.
If the freezer is to be against a wall, you
might want to leave extra space on the
hinge side so the door can be opened
wider.
Completing the installation
Level freezer so the door will stay open at any
position.
1. Locate, remove and discard the 4 bolts that
held the freezer in the shipping crate.
2. Locate the 2 front leveling legs taped
among the packing materials.
3. Screw these legs into the front holes on the
bottom of the freezer. The back of the
freezer rests on 2 fixed supports.
4. Adjust the 2 front legs so freezer does not
rock.
5. Connect freezer to proper electrical supply
and attach retaining clip. (Refer to “Locating
the proper electrical supply” on page 5.)
6. Slide freezer into place.
7. Place a level on top of the freezer-first side
to side then front to back. Turn leg counter-
clockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clock-
wise to lower a corner.
8. Repeat Step 7 until the freezer is level.
9. After freezer is fully loaded, recheck with
level.
