Unpacking Your freezer

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside. Slide out and
remove the plastic or foam guard used to protect the compressor from shipping
damage due to vibration and shock.

2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape or printed materials

before powering on the freezer.

3. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts listed in the Parts and

Features section.

Proper Air Circulation

To ensure that your freezer, works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:

I 5ides ...................3/4 inches (19mm) I

Top......................2inches (50mm)

Back ....................2 inches (50mm)

Electrical Requirements

Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps) with
proper grounding to power the freezer.

WARNING: Avoid the use of three prong adapters. NEVER cut off the third
grounding prong inorder to accommodate a two prong outlet. Cutting off the
grounding prong is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding
for the refrigerator and may result in serious injury from electrical shock.

Installation

Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation on14 It should not be
recessed or built-in. Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded. When moving the freezer, never tilt it by more than a 45 degrees angle. This
could damage the compressor and the sealed system.

tf the freezer has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand inan upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet. Do not
plug another appliance into the same outlet as the freezer.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord. See the WARNING in Electrical Requirements on the previous
page. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or a Sears or other qualified service dealer
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for
24 hours before placing food into the freezer.
Installation Limitations

Do not install your freezer inany location not properly insulated or
heated, such as a garage, etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 55°Fahrenheit. Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard
even surface away from direct sunlight or heat sources such as radiators, baseboard heaters,

cooking appliances, etc.
Leveling Legs

There are two leveling legs on the bottom of the unit near the unit front. Turn the leveling knobs
to the left to raise the cabinet, and to the right to lower the cabinet.

Rollers
The freezer is equipped with two rollers at the back for ease of moving the unit across the floor.
