INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Freezer
1. Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to
allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure
to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit.
2. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
3. Install the handle on the left side of the door.
Installing your Freezer
• This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
• Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
your freezer, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free-standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and
4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space
on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. If the unit has an air vent at the front, take
care that it is never covered or blocked in any way.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified or authorized product
service center.
