Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Caring for Your
Freezer.”
Location Requirements
Ventilation and Clearance
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
freezer.
■ Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
■ Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the
wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on the
hinge side so the door can open wider.
Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where
the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your freezer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below this recommended
temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another freezer
or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the freezer and a
¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) clearance between the appliances.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to
make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing
a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
Water Supply Requirements (on some models)
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read
and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.
Tools Needed
NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)
saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local
plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■ If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected, turn the
ice maker OFF.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in
areas where the household temperatures will remain above
freezing.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end or
2 adjustable wrenches
■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver
■ ¹⁄₄" drill bit
■ Cordless drill
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
