Required Tools
You will need the following tools:
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 first steps.
Location
•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
•If possible, place the freezer out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.
•The freezer must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer.
•Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker. If you do not hook up water to the freezer, remember to turn the ice maker off.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the freezer where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the freezer.
DO NOT block the kick plate on the lower front of your freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your freezer.
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 30ºF warmer than room temperature can be expected.
INSTALLATION
