Location Requirements

AWARNING

Explosion Hazard

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gas or away from appliance.

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or

Ventilation and Clearance

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline from freezer.

• Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, and tablecloths. This reduces air circulation.

• Allow at least a 2.75'' (7.0 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2.75'' (7.0 cm) between the back of the freezer at the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.

Temperature

Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 32^ (0^) and 110^ (43^) . Place your freezer in a location where the temperature will fall between the low and high recommended temperatures.

Upon Moving to Final Location

Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if necessary.

NOTE: It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, contact a designated service company.

Electrical Requirements

Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electric supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the temperature control to 0 (align cir on knob with desired number), as shown, to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.

also reduces the risk of condensation forming in particularly

critical environmental conditions.

Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with food.
