INSTALLATION
Leveling
(optional)
This Use & Care Manual provides general
operating instructions for your model.
Use the unit only as instructed in this Use
& Care Manual.
Before starting the unit,
follow these important first steps.
Location
Choose a location with a grounded
electrical outlet – avoid using any Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter ( GFCI) outlets.
Do not
use an extension cord or un-
grounded (2-prong) adapter. At the rear
of the freezer, pull the power cord straight
out of the protective shipping enclosure
and unwind enough of the power cord to
plug into the electrical outlet.
For the most efficient operation, place the
freezer where surrounding temperatures
will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Tempera-
tures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT
affect operation.
Do not
use additional
compressor heaters.
Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation:
Top
27.5
in. (70 cm)
Sides
7.87 in. (20 cm)
Extend
Retract
Use the leveling legs (located on the left
side, front and rear) to ensure that all 4
corners of the freezer are resting firmly
on a solid floor. Turn the leveling legs
Caster Installation (optional)
The appliance comes with a caster
installation kit shipped in basket of chest
freezer. The casters allow ease of moving
the unit to its final location. The casters
can be then be locked into place.
Required Tool:
Phillips screwdriver
Caster Kit contents:
Part A
2 Casters
without brakes
Part B
2 Casters
with brakes
16 screws
NOTE
The exterior walls of the freezer may
become quite warm as the compressor
works to transfer heat from the inside.
Temperatures as high as 30°F warmer
than room temperature can be expect-
ed. For this reason it is particularly
important in hotter climates to allow
enough space for air circulation around
your unit.
NOTE
It is
VERY IMPORTANT
for your freezer
to be level in order to function properly.
If the unit is not leveled during installa-
tion, the lid may be misaligned and not
close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems.
WARNING
Unplug the unit from power source and
empty contents before caster instal-
lation. Lock and secure lid to prevent
opening during caster installation.
clockwise to retract the legs and counter-
clockwise to extend the legs. Ensure the
floor is strong enough to support a fully
loaded freezer.
