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. 3 =(75turn) Air Space Plastic Leveling Feet Crating Screw "".

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.
