adequate ventilation and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such
as a closed cabinet.
Before connecting the upright freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 4” clearance at rear, and 1” at
top and sides. The installation should allow the upright freezer to be pulled forward for servicing
if necessary.
When installing the upright freezer under a counter, follow the recommended spacing
dimensions shown.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water
spray or drips. Do NOT use the upright freezer in outdoor setting.
The upright freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
Too much humidity in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more
frequent defrosting of the upright freezer.
• The upright freezer must be installed with all electrical requirements followed.
• The unit should be located on a hard and level surface that can support the unit when it is full. It
is important for the upright freezer to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can
adjust the height of the upright freezer by turning the feet. See the “Leveling the Upright

doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems. It is very important that the upright freezer is at level in order to
function properly.

leveling foot.
We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.

freezer is level from front to back and side to side.
