INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using the Freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Check to be sure you have all of the following parts: 4 drawers, 1 handle with screws and handle
seal, and 2 keys.
• Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Remove the drawers and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water
using a soft cloth.
Installing the Freezer
•
Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To
level your unit, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom.
•
Models FS407L and FS408BL are designed to be
free-standing only
, and should not be
recessed or built in.
•
When installing, allow at least 4 inches of space at the back and sides of the unit, which will
allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Be sure that airflow under
the appliance is not blocked.
•
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or
authorized service center.
Electrical Connection
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a
three-prong hospital-grade plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit is supplied with a hospital-grade NEMA 5-15 line cord with a ground (green dot). It requires
a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with 3-prong ground. It will fit exactly into either a
standard household 3-prong 115V grounded outlet or a standard 115V hospital-grade receptacle.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
