Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Caring for Your
Freezer.”
Location Requirements
Ventilation and Clearance
■
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
freezer.
■
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
■
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides
of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on
the hinge side so the door can open wider.
Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where
the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your freezer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below this recommended
temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both
sides of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on the
hinge side so the door can open wider.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to
make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing
a light bulb, turn knob to “0” on manual defrost models, or press and
hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds on automatic defrost models to
turn off cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical
source.
