First Steps

Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:

Installation

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

• The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed

110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT affect freezer

operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.

• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space

on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

Leveling

The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor

must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: It is VERY

IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer

is not leveled during installatioin, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal

properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Upright Unit:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the

freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher,

so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

To Level Chest Unit:

If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.

Cleaning

• Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and exterior with mild detergent

and warm water. Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON THESE

SURFACES.

• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the

appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape

can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the

residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE

SERIAL PLATE.
