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 at top and both sides of freezer.
4. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of air space
between the back of the freezer and the
wall.
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.
Completing the installation
Level freezer so the door will stay open at
any position.
1. Locate, remove, and discard the 4 bolts
that held the freezer in the shipping crate.
2. Locate the 2 front leveling legs taped
among the packing materials.
3. Screw these legs into the front holes on
the bottom of the freezer. The back of the
freezer rests on 2 fixed supports.
4. Adjust the 2 front legs so freezer does
not rock.
5. Connect freezer to proper electrical
supply and attach power cord lock. (Refer
to “Locating the proper electrical supply”
on page 5.)
6. Slide freezer into place.
7. Place a level on top of the freezer – first
side to side then front to back. Turn leg
counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn
leg clockwise to lower a corner.
8. Repeat Step 7 until the freezer is level.
9. After freezer is fully loaded, recheck
with level.
