Upright Freezer Door Removal
Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps:
Installation
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• The freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed
110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will 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
3"
be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT for
your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing
1"
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Upright Unit:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the
freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2 bubble higher,
so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
To Level Chest Unit:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.
Cleaning
• Wash any removable parts, the freezer interior, and exterior with 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.
