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 
“Freezer Care.”

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator, or 
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall 
below 40°F (5°C).
Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It 
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides 
of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and 
the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on 
the hinge side so the door can open wider.
NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another 
refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance at the top 
and sides and a 

¹⁄₄

" (0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances.

Electrical Requirements

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 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp 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 the Temperature Control to the OFF 
position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the 
electrical source. 

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.

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.
