Installing Your Freezer

•This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

•Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

•Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the freezer, which allows the proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the freezer level.

•Locate the freezer 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. Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29°C) will hinder the performance of this appliance. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.

•Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.

•Plug the freezer into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with an inverter.
