Shelf Front

Before

starting

the freezer,

these

important

first steps:

Installation

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

• For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surround-

ing temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and

belowwill 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. Check the cabinet with

a level from side to side. After discarding the crating screws and wood base, level

the cabinet.

To Level Upright Unit:

Once leveled, slightly raise adjustment of front feet so the door closes easilywhen

opened about halfway.

To Level Chest Unit:

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

Cleaning

• Wash any removable parts, the freezerinterior, and exteriorwith 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.

If door must be removed to fit through narrow doorways:

1. Gently lay freezer on its back, on a throw rag or blanket.

2. Remove base panel (some models) by unscrewing two screws from front of

4. Remove screws from top hinge.

5. Remove top hinge from cabinet. Lift door off lower hinge pin.

6. After door is removed, remove the two screws from bottom hinge.
