INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
o
3 drawers
o
Calibration certificate
o
1 short drain tube
o
2 keys
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to
allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure
to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of your unit.
• Remove the drawers and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water
using a soft cloth.
Installing the Freezer
• Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To
level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
• This appliance can be installed either free-standing or built-in. If the unit will be built into an
enclosure, you must still allow at least 1/4
” of clear space on both sides and at the top, and 2” at
the back. Take care that the air vents at the front are never covered or blocked in any way.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.
• Plug the unit 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
authorized service center.
Stabilization Period
• Prior to use, the unit shall be allowed to stabilize for at least twenty-four hours.
