outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an

• If possible, place the freezer out of direct
sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or
other heat sources.
• The freezer must be installed on a fl oor that is
level and strong enough to support a fully loaded
freezer.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker. If you do
not hook up water to the freezer, remember to
turn the ice maker off.
CAUTION

freezer. Suffi cient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your freezer.
