Installation
Levelling:
Level the freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until firm
contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door
aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.
Note: Before plugging in and switching on, leave the freezer standing in its
final location for at least 15 minutes to allow it to settle.
