Choosing the proper location
Read the following itenns 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 flam-
mables 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 at
top of freezer.
4. Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) on each side
of the freezer for ease of installation.
5. If the freezer is to be against a wall, you might
want to leave extra space on the hinge side so
the door can be opened wider.
