This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
DO NOT use an extension cord or an
adapter plug.
• For most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not
drop below 40
°F (5°
C) or exceed 110
°F (43°C).
• For ease of installation, proper air circulation and electrical connections, refer to the illustration for
recommended clearances.
• For dynamic condenser models,
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer.
Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your freezer.

NOTE
The exterior walls of the freezer may become
quite warm as the compressor works to transfer
heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as
30
°F warmer than room temperatures can be
expected.
Location
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting
firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong
enough to support a fully loaded freezer. It is VERY
IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order
to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled
during installation, the door may be misaligned and
not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or
moisture problems.
To Level Freezer:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use
a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from front
to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2
