INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove Packaging Materials

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see “Freezer Safety.”

When Moving Your Freezer:

Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

1.Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and 110°F (43°C).

2.Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer. Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator or other heat source.

3.Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.

4.Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if necessary.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Freezer Care.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

5.Allow at least a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance on both sides of the freezer and 2" (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.

2" (5 cm)

3" (7.5 cm)

6.It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, contact a designated service company.

NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
