Unpacking

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and
dry.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more
information, see the "Freezer Safety" section.
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
"walk" the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the
"Freezer Care" section.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location Requirements

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.
1. Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and
110°F (43°C).
2. Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from freezer. Do not install the freezer near an oven,
radiator or other heat source.
3. Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
4. Level the freezer from side to side and front to back so that
the lid will seal properly. Use shims to level the freezer if
necessary.
5. Allow at least 3 in. (7.5 cm) of air space on both sides of the
freezer and 2 in. (5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
6. It should not be necessary to remove the lid during
installation. If, for any reason, the hinges need adjustment,
see the label on the back of your freezer and contact a
designated service company.
NOTE: Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets,
sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
