This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in this Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first
steps.
INSTALLATION
,Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
,For most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 110°F (43°C).
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper
air circulation, and electrical connections:
Sides | 3/8 inch |
Back & Top | 1 inch |
Do not block the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your freezer.

DOOR OPENING
NOTE: If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
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. 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.
TO LEVEL FREEZER:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the freezer from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2 bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
