INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking Your Freezer

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install or uninstall
appliance.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove 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 "Upright Freezer Safety" section.
When Moving Your Freezer
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for cleaning or
service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to
avoid floor damage. 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.
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 the
"Maintenance and Care" section.
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.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING
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.
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 V, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 A or 20 A 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, turn knob to "0" on manual defrost models,
or press and hold Temp Setting for 3 seconds on automatic
defrost models to turn off cooling. Then disconnect the freezer
from the electrical source.
