3. IMPORTANT: Let the freezer stand upright for approximately 2 hours
before plugging into the power source. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

4. This freezer is designed to be free standing. It was not designed for
recessed or enclosed area installation.

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

6. 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 decrease cooling efficiency.

7. Ensure there is a minimum 20 cm (8”) clearance on both sides,10 cm (4”)
at the back wall and 30 cm (12”) above the unit for proper air circulation.
NOTE: If you are installing your freezer next to a fixed wall, leave
sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.

8. Level the freezer by adjusting the legs. Turn the Leg clockwise to raise
that side of the freezer or turn counterclockwise to lower that side. While
adjusting the Legs, have someone push against the top of the freezer to
take some weight off the front leveling legs.
NOTE: To help with door closure, position legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to
the back.

9. Do not use in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage
etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperatures below

12.8°C (55 °F). In extreme cold ambient temperatures the freezer will not
perform properly. Avoid locating the freezer in damp or moist areas.
Excessive moisture may cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator. This
would require more frequent defrosting of the freezer.

10. Make sure all shelves and other parts listed in the Description of Parts are
in place.

11. Once the freezer has been plugged in (after 2 hours in the upright
position), allow the freezer’s interior to cool for 2-3 hours before putting
food into the compartments.
