Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.

SETTING UP YOUR FREEZER

Before using your freezer

•  Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•  Let the freezer stand upright for approximately two hours 

before connecting it to power. 

• Wipe 

the 

inside.

•  When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from 

upright.

Finding a suitable location

•  This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should 

not be recessed or built-in.

•  Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to 

support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

•  If your freezer is located too far from your WiFi router, the 

signal may be too weak for a good connection. In such 
cases a WiFi range extender will improve connectivity.

•  Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the sides of the 

freezer and the walls, 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back 
of the freezer and the wall, and 27.5 inches (70 cm) between 
the top of the freezer and the ceiling.

•  If you locate the freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient 

space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.

•  Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of 

heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may 
affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase 
electrical consumption. Extremely cold temperatures may 
also prevent the freezer from performing properly.

•  Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
