CABINET LOCATION:
An air space of at least 2” must be maintained on all sides of the freezers. Do not
install this freezer in a warm unventilated room that exceeds 80
o
F; do not place freezer in direct sun-
light; do not place freezer under or near heat range or heating vent.
CABINET LEVELLING:
The freezer has to be completely leveled side to side and front to back or slightly
tilted front to back but never tilted forward. Once the freezer is placed in its final location, use a carpenter
level to level the freezer. Proper leveling of the freezer is important for the door closing.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
• DO NOT CUT, REMOVE OR BYPASS THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG
• DO NOT PLUG INTO AN OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL SWITCH
• ENSURE POWER CORD IS NOT CUT OR DAMAGED FROM PINCHING, KNOTTING, OR MISHANDLING
NOTICE:
Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty and/or cause loss of product.
POWER REQUIREMENTS:
The freezer requires a 15 Amp dedicated and properly grounded
115V circuit with a NEMA 5-15P receptacle. Wiring should be sized according to the amperage
rating stated on the serial plate. Failure to use a dedicated circuit may cause the circuit breaker
to trip off and/or cause voltage drops. As a result, power to the freezer may be interrupted
and freezing performance can be adversely affected which may cause equipment damage
and/or product loss.
Voltage supply to the freezer must not vary more than ±10% of the nominal voltage, or performance may be
affected. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from excessive voltage variations.
NEMA 5-15P
Metallic Clip
Shelf
The clips can be removed at any time if a new position is chosen for the shelf or basket. To remove, grab
the clip with your thumb and index finger, then push up the slanted surface until the clip is free. A slight
hit upwards to the slanted surface is usually an easy way to remove the clip. Once the clips are in place,
put the shelf on top. Once the shelves are securely in place, baskets (if equipped) may be positioned on
the shelves.
The freezer is supplied with shelves and metallic clips. The freezer has slotted pilasters to position the
shelves according to the customer’s needs.
