Installation
REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your glass door freezer
REMOVE TAPE AND GLUE FROM YOUR GLASS DOOR FREEZER BEFORE USING
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be
easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with
warm water and dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
These products can damage the surface of your glass door freezer.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your glass door freezer before using it.
INSTALLATION
Your glass door freezer should be conveniently located for day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room. Do not
install the glass door freezer where the temperature will go below 50°F or above 90°F, because it will not main-
tain proper temperatures. Be sure to install your glass door freezer on a floor strong enough to support it when it
is fully loaded.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the glass door freezer in any place you desire provided that the
required clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be adequate ventilation
and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet.
We
recommend a minimum of 4" of clearance around the back and sides.
Before connecting the glass door freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
The normal operation of the glass door freezer depends on heat radiation from the condenser. Allow at least
6 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool
the compressor and condenser. The installation should allow the glass door freezer to be pulled forward for
servicing if necessary.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or drips. Do
NOT use the glass door freezer in outdoor setting.
The glass door freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
Too much humidity in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent de-
frosting of the glass door freezer.
Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.
The glass door freezer must be installed with all electrical requirements followed.
The unit should be located on a hard and level surface that can support the unit when it is full. It is important
for the glass door freezer to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the
glass door freezer by turning the leveling legs. See the “Leveling the Glass Door Freezer” section (page 8).
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people should move and install glass door freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
