Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Freezer
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
1 or more storage baskets
Set of pop-out keys (larger models only)
1 instruction manual
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 the freezer when it is
fully loaded.
Allow 5 inches of space at the back and sides of the freezer, which allows proper air
circulation.
Be sure the freezer is absolutely level for proper operation.
Check with a carpenter’s
level. Place thin wood or metal shims under the freezer if necessary.
Locate the freezer 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 freezer in moist areas.
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed, 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 at least
4 hours before placing food in the freezer.
Electrical Connection
This freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord is equipped
with a three-prong plug that mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize
the possibility of electrical shock.
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.
