Safety first
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not things ot the past. Junked or aban
doned freezers are still dangerous...even if
they will "just sit in the garage a few days."
If you are getting rid of your old freezer,
do it safely. Please read the enclosed
safety booklet from the Association of
Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help pre
vent accidents.

right electrical supply and grounding, (Refer to

Install properly...
Check the strength ot the floor. It should hold the
weight of a fully loaded freezer
Pick a safe place, indoors, away from in
flammables such as gasoline.

Allow at least an inch (2,5 cm) between the
freezer condenser, on the back of the unit, and
the wall
Allow C inch (1,25 cm) on each side of the freezer
for ease of instailation
If the freezer is to be against a wail, you might
want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the
door can be opened wider.
The four bolts that held your freezer in the shipping
crate are designed to be the levelling legs. Screw
the legs far enough into the bolt holes, in each of
the four bottom corners, so the freezer stands
about 1 inch (2,5 cm) off the floor.
