INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Freezer
•
This
appliance 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 it when it is fully loaded. To
level your appliance, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the freezer.
•
Allow about 5” (12 cm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance and 4” (10 cm)
at the top. This will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
•
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the freezer not to
perform properly.
•
Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
•
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized service center.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours
before placing items inside the cabinet.
Electrical Connection
•
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped
with a three-pin plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
•
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord
supplied.
•
This freezer requires a standard 115Volts AC
~ 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
grounded receptacle.
•
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left
exposed or dangling.
•
Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
•
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
Warning
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord
is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
