FIRST STEPS

Leveling (some models)

The freezer must have all bottom
corners resting rmly on a solid
oor. The oor 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.

Cleaning

• Wash any removable parts of the freezer interior and
exterior with mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry.
DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE SURFACES.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface when remov-
ing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can
be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild
detergent or the residue can be touched with the sticky
side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
This Use & Care Guide provides general operating
instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
freezer, follow these important rst steps.

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• The freezer should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110° F (43° C). Tem-
peratures 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 4 inch (101.6 mm) space on all sides of the
freezer for adequate circulation.
