INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING YOUR APPLIANCE, READ AND FOLLOW THESE IMPORTANT INITIAL STEPS.
A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CLEARANCE

This appliance is designed to be free standing only and should not be recessed or built-in.

Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

To allow proper air circulation, allocate 20cm (8’’) of space on each side of the unit, 10cm (4’’) in the
back and 30cm (12’’) on top of clearance to allow the proper air circulation.

Place the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.

Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to perform properly.

Plug the freezer into a separate, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
