INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 Before Using Your Freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
 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 surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level your appliance, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the freezer.
• Allow about 5” (12 cm) of space at the back and sides of the appliance and 4” (10 cm) at the
top. This will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to
perform properly.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance 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 an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours
before placing items inside the cabinet.
 Electrical Connection
Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord
is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
