Leveling 

(optional)

 

This Use & Care Guide provides general 

operating instructions for your model. Use 

the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care 

Guide. 

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 ungrounded 

(two prong) adapter. At the rear of the freezer, 

pull 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, the 

freezer 

should be located where surrounding 

temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). 

Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will 

NOT affect operation. Additional compressor 

heaters are not recommended.
Allow space around the unit for good air 

circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on 

all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

FIRST STEPS

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 expected. For this reason 

it is particularly important in hotter climates 

to allow enough space for air circulation 

around your unit.

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 clockwise to retract the 

legs and counterclockwise to extend the legs. 

Ensure the floor is strong enough to support a 

fully loaded freezer.

NOTE

It is 

VERY IMPORTANT 

for your freezer to 

be level in order to function properly. If the unit 

is not leveled during installation, the lid may 

be misaligned and not close or seal properly, 

causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

Caster Installation 

(optional)

WARNING

Unplug the unit from power source and 

empty contents before caster installation. 

Lock and secure lid to prevent opening 

during caster installation. 

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 head screwdriver

Caster Kit contents:

Part A

2 Casters without 

brakes (13/15 cu. ft.)

4 Casters without 

brakes (20/25 cu. ft.)

Part B

2 Casters with brakes 

(13/15 cu. ft.)

2 Casters with brakes 

(20/25 cu. ft.)

16 screws  

(13/15 cu. ft.)

24 screws  

(20/25 cu. ft.)

To install the casters:

1.  Move freezer to a work area that 

provides sufficient clearance on all 4 

sides to allow easy handling and access 

to the freezer.

2. 

Cover the floor area behind the freezer 

with a protective material to prevent 

damage while it is resting on its back 

during the caster installation.

CAUTION

Two or more people are required to rotate and 

tilt the freezer on its back, allowing accessibility 

to all sides.
