Installing Your Freezer
Unpacking Your Freezer
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the freezer
accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the freezer.
Adjusting Your Freezer
1. Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
2. Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
3. When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the
compressor and the sealed system.
4. If the freezer is tilted let it stands in an upright position for at least 24hours prior to plugging. This is to
allow the refrigerant to settle.
Proper Air Circulation
1. To assure 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.
2. The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:
Sides……………4" (102mm)
Top....................4" (102mm)
Back..................4" (102mm)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (220 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power
the freezer.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two
plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may
result in shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
Install Limitations
• Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer
was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55° Fahrenheit or above 90° Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat
source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be
corrected.
