condition:
1, Do not operate the appliance any colder than
necessary to maintain safe, product storage
temperatures,
2, Make sure the appliance is located to prevent
direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc,
3, Keep the lid closed except for normal use, Inspect
the lid often to see that it self-closes and the
gasket is in good condition,

because it will block the normal air flow,
5, Have at least annual inspections by a qualified
service company to see that the refrigerant charge
is correct,

ambient than in a hot ambient, Try to maintain an
ambient below 80°F (27°C) and 65% RHfor
maximum efficiency,
