| or injury when using your appliance, follow |
| these basic precautions: |
•Read all instructions before using the appliance.
•DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

•Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

•Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Appliance
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
| VM165 – Upright Freezer |
1 | Instruction Manual |
1 | Plastic Scraper |
1Twist – Ice Tray
•Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as described in chapter “Parts and Features”
Installation of Your Appliance
•Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the appliance.
•Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
•Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly.
•Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the appliance.
