INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.

• Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.

This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling
during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instruction on page 7)

Installing Your Freezer

• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air

ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.

• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29°C) will hinder the
performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other
outside installation.

• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.

• Plug the freezer into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an
inverter.
