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:

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

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

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

Electrical Requirements

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

WARNING: Avoid the use of three prong adapters. NEVER cut off the third grounding prong in order 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 in an 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 in any 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.
