INSTALLATION
Remove packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your upright freezer
Remove tape and glue from your upright 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 upright freezer.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your upright freezer before using it.
See the "Usage Tips" in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
Your freezer should be conveniently located for day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room. Do not
install the freezer where the temperature will go below 50°F or above 90°F, because it will not maintain
proper temperatures. Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded.
Free-standing installation
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the upright 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.
Before connecting the upright 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.
To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 4
” clearance at rear, and 1” at
top and sides. The installation should allow the upright freezer to be pulled forward for servicing
if necessary.
When installing the upright freezer under a counter, follow the recommended spacing
dimensions shown.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water
spray or drips. Do NOT use the upright freezer in an outdoor setting.
The upright 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 defrosting of the upright freezer.
•
The upright 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 upright freezer to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can
adjust the height of the upright freezer by turning
the feet. See the “Leveling the Upright
Freezer
” section.
•
A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 10A), properly grounded in accordance with
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people should move and install upright freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
