INSTALLATION This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps. Installation • Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. • For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended. • Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation. NOTE The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your freezer. 3" AIR SPACE 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 3" (75 mm) 1" (75 mm) Installation 3" (75 mm) Installation 3" (75 mm) Leveling The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE It is Very Important for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. 4
