INSTALLING YOUR FREEZER

Choosing the proper location

Read the following items before choosing the location for the freezer. 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 at top and both sides of freezer.

4.Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of air space between the back of the freezer and the wall.

5.If the freezer is to be against a wall, you might want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can be opened wider.
