inflammables such as gasoline. For proper air circulation allow at least two inches (5 cm] of air space at the back and three inches (7.5 cm) at the sides of the freezer. Do not cover the freezer with such items as blankets, sheets, tablecloths,

etc. Check the strength of the floor, make certain it can support the weight of the freezer when it is loaded. It should not be necessary to remove the lid

adjustment,		see your authorized
WHIRLPOOL		dealer.

Remove the defrost drain cover from the literature package, located inside your freezer. Install that cover, as shown on Page I.

2.Keep it level - Level freezer from end to end and from front to back so that the lid will seal properly. With the lid open, lay a spirit level on the edge of the freezer at the end and the front of the cabinet. If it is necessary to level cabinet, use wood shims.

Do not use cardboard or other soft material.
