1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the freezer accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape or printed
materials before powering on the freezer.
3. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts stated in the
Parts and Features section.
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not
be recessed or built in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle.
This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer has been tilted more than 45°, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power
source. This will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
• Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall
outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(grounding) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool
down for 2-3 hours before placing food into the chest freezer.
• Do not install your freezer in any location that is not properly
insulated or heated (e.g. garage, etc.). Your freezer is not designed
to operate in temperatures below 55° Fahrenheit. Extremely cold
ambient temperatures may cause the freezer to not perform properly.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard, even surface
away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard
heaters, cooking appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the
coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Any
floor unevenness should be corrected.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
