IMPORTANT: When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45° angle. This could

damage the compressor and the sealed system. If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging in the freezer to allow the refrigerant to settle.

1. Remove and dispose of/recycle all packing materials. This includes the foam

base and all adhesive tape. Remove all protective packaging covering the freezer.
