Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing and dispose of it according to local
environmental requirements. Be sure to remove the foam sheet between the
outside condenser (back of the unit) and the cabinet.
:
• Remove any tape or labels from the freezer before use (except the rating label
on the back of the unit). To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue can also be easily removed by rubbing a
small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe
with warm water and dry.
• Check to be sure the following items are packed with your unit: 1 door handle
with screws and plugs, and 2 keys.
• When moving the freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from the upright position.
• Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system
from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Freezer
• Install the handle onto the door using the supplied screws. Cover screw holes
with plugs (see page 6).
:
• This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be
recessed or built in.
• Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is
fully loaded. To level your unit, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom (page 5).
• Allow about 7 inches of space on each side of the unit and the same amount
of space between the back and the wall. Allow at least 11 inches above the
top of the unit. These clearances will allow the proper air circulation to cool
the compressor and condenser.
• If you are installing the freezer next to a fixed wall, leave sufficient space on
the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the external coating and heat sources
may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures
may also affect the unit's performance.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause
frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of
the freezer.
• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do
not under any circumstances cut 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 authorized service center.
