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 the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT
affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all
sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

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.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer
heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be
expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space
for air circulation around your freezer.
NOTE
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.
