Interior
Setting up your freezer
Before using your freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing including the bottom cushions, foam pads, and tape inside your freezer.
Remove the plastic film from the door and sides.
• Let your freezer stand upright for app roximately 30 minutes before connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from incorrect handling during transportation.
• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, let your freezer run for two to three hours. If the ambient temperature is high,
for example in summer, wait for four or more hours.
• Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth and a baking soda solution (two tablespoons in a quar t of water), then wipe
dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your freezer looking new.
• For correct operation, you should level your freezer using the leveling feet. If you do not level your freezer, the door
may not close or seal correctly, causing cooling, frost, and moisture problems. Turn the leveling feet clockwise to raise
or counterclockwise to lower a side. The leveling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push against the top of
your freezer to take some weight off.
• When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from up right.
