DISPOSING OF THE APPLIANCE

• When disposing of your freezer, use an authorized disposal site. The refrigerant must be 

completely drained and collected by an authorized technician for recycling prior to disposal. 

Check with your local Environmental Agency for recommendations on recycling this appliance 

in your area. Remove the electrical connection wiring and also ensure that the lid is removed to 

prevent children from being trapped inside 

- DANGER OF SUFFOCATION!

This marking indicates that this product should not be disposed with other household 

wastes throughout North America. To prevent possible harm to the environment or 

human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the 

sustainable reuse of material resources. 

IMPORTANT:

 After transit where the fridge 

has been on its side or back, ensure that the fridge is in a level, upright position for 

12 hours before connecting the appliance to a power source, this will reduce the 

possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

 

 

 

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance. To avoid injury and causing damage 

to the appliance, be extremely cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task. 

Keep children away from the packaging material 

- DANGER OF SUFFOCATION!. 

Wash the inside 

and outside of the appliance with lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or 

corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or chemical cleaning agents should not 

be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft brush or towel is recommended. After cleaning, 

thoroughly rinse and dry. You may want to leave the doors open allowing the compartments 

to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors. Check with your local Environmental 

Agency for recommendations on recycling packaging materials in your area.

 

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

The area in which the fridge is to be installed must be relatively cool, dry, and suitably ventilated. 

The area must be protected against any inclement weather (rain, snow) and excessive surface 

dust. To ensure proper function, the appliance must be placed on a flat, firm, and stable surface 

resting level on all four supports. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded 

cabinet. Use wood or metal shims to level the fridge if necessary. Do not place the appliance in 

direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical 

consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform 

improperly. 

Do not place the fridge close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler, chimney, etc.), and avoid 

prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from 

the inside of the cabinet. Ensure that there is adequate space between the fridge and neighboring 

walls or large objects. 

A minimum spacing of 3 inches (7.6 cm) is highly recommended.

 This will 

provide sufficient airflow around the appliance resulting in more efficient operation and longer 

appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent openings of the compressor housing cover free from 

dust and obstructions. This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not 

intended to be built into a cabinet or counter.
