Proper installation of any appliance is very important. This section will tell you everything you need
to know to install your freezer properly.
Cleaning your freezer
Clean your freezer thoroughly before using it.
1. Use a sponge, cloth or paper towel and mild
detergent in warm water to dean outside
and inside of freezer, door liner and gasket.
2. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Locating the proper electrical supply
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere
fused and property grounded electrical supply
is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an
extension cord.
If your freezer does not have a plug with a
grounding prong, connect the green ground
wire (at the lower back of the freezer) to an
effective ground. DO NOT ground the wire to
gas, electrical or hydraulic piping, PVC tubes,
or faucets.

Choosing the proper location
Read the following items before choosing the
location for the freezer. See “Completing the
installation” on page 6 before sliding the
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. Make sure the floor is level.
4. If you want to enclose your freezer, or store
it under a counter, leave at least VA inches
of air space on all sides and behind the unit.
Leave at least 4 inches of air space above
the freezer.
