Installing Your Freezer
•
This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air ventilation.
Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient
temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29°C) will hinder the performance of this appliance. This
unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.

or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding
should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed
to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool down for 2~3 hours
before placing food in the freezer compartment.
