INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER
Choosing the proper location
Read the following items before choosing the
location for the freezer. See “Completing the
installation” below
before sliding freezer into
place.
1. Pick a safe place, indoors, away from
flammables such as gasoline.
2. Check the strength of the floor. It should
hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer.
3. Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of air
space on both sides of the freezer and
2 inches (5 cm) between the back of the
freezer and the wall. Leave room above
the freezer to open the lid.
4. It should not be necessary to remove the
lid during installation. If, for any reason,
the hinges need adjustment, see the label
on the back of your freezer and contact
an authorized Roper service company.
NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items
such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc.
This reduces air circulation.

as illustrated.
