Setting up your freezer
Before using your freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing, especially the foam packing
between the outside condenser and the cabinet.
• Let the freezer stand upright for approximately two hours before
connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth and a baking soda solution (two
tablespoons in a quart of water), then wipe dry with a dry cloth. Do this
periodically to keep your freezer looking new.
• For proper operation, it’s very important that you level the freezer using
the leveling feet. If this is not done, the door may not close or seal
properly, causing cooling, frost, and moisture problems. Turn the leveling
feet clockwise to raise that side of the freezer or counterclockwise to lower
that side. The leveling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push
against the top of the freezer to take some weight off.
• When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.

Finding a suitable location
• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer
when it is fully loaded.
• This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the sides of the freezer and the
walls, 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall, and
11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top of the freezer and the ceiling. This
allows for proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.
• If you locate the freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the
hinge side for the door to swing open.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a
stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
temperatures may also prevent the freezer from performing properly.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
Leveling your freezer
• It is very important for the freezer to be level. If the freezer is not leveled
during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
• To level your freezer, rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) the freezer
or counter-clockwise (to lower).
Note
Have someone push against the top of the freezer to help take
some weight off the leveling foot, making it easier to adjust.
Providing a proper power supply
Check your local power source. This freezer requires a 115V, 60Hz power
supply.
Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this freezer. We recommend that the freezer be
plugged into an electrical circuit serving only this appliance and that the
circuit cannot be turned off with a switch or pull-chain.
