Choosing the proper
Read the following items before choosing the freezer location. See “Completing the installation” below before sliding freezer into place.
1.Pick a safe place, indoors, away from flammables such as gasoline.
2.Check the strength of the floor. It should hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer.
3.Allow at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of air space on both sides of the freezer and
2 inches (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
4.It should not be necessary to remove the lid during installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment, see the label on the back of your freezer and contact an authorized Whirlpool service company.
NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
