4.1 Preparing installation
4.2 Selecting the location
All freezers are mounted on castors for ease of movement. The U101 upright freezer has two
rear wheels. Upright freezers have feet that provide both a leveling feature and a locking feature
to stop the freezer from rolling once it is in place. Chest freezers have locking front castors; these
do not provide leveling adjustment, so the site chosen for the freezer must have a flat, level floor.
Position the freezer to allow disconnection to be made in respect to removal of the plug or
appliance coupler, also the free air entry through the intake grille in the front and free air exit from
the back. Provide a clearance of at least 150 mm (6 in) on all sides.
For efficient temperature control, the freezer should be placed in a shaded area, away from
sources of excessive heat. For maximum cooling capability, the product should be located in an
air-conditioned room.
4.3 Installing the shelves
Model U101 upright freezers are fitted with one fixed shelf. Model U535 and U725 upright
freezers are fitted with two adjustable shelves. These can be positioned in 12.7 mm (½ in) steps
anywhere throughout the freezer.
To effectively utilize racks within the freezer, be sure to position them so that each shelf is aligned
with the bottom of each inner door.
Perform the following steps to install the shelves:
1. Ensure that the freezer is turned off and unplugged.
2. Remove the protective plastic coating from the shelf.
3. Position the four shelf clips evenly within the freezer by squeezing the clip, then inserting it
into the shelf support within the freezer.
4. Place the shelf in the freezer, making sure all four shelf clips are supporting the weight of the
shelf.
To readjust the shelf or shelf clips, gently squeeze the shelf clip to release it from the side of the
freezer, then reposition it as needed.
4.4 Lockable freezer handle
Freezers are supplied with lockable handles.
The U101, C585, and C760 are fitted with quarter turn key locks.
The U535 and U725 upright freezer handle is fitted with barrel locks (push in and turn key to lock,
turn key to unlock; the barrel will only lock when a key is turned to the lock position). The barrel
lock may be removed from the upright freezer handle if the lock feature is not required.
An optional padlock adaptor can provide extra security by allowing the addition of a
customer-supplied padlock to secure the freezer handle.
WARNING!

DO NOT attempt to lift any freezer by hand. Preferred lifting for loading and unloading is by
mechanical lifting equipment.
