WARNING:
Do not exceed the electrical ratings printed on the dataplate
located on the lower left side of the unit.
CAUTION!
Improper operation of the equipment could result in
dangerous conditions. To preclude hazard and minimize risk, follow all
instructions and operate within the design limits noted on the dataplate.
5.1 Location
Install the unit in a level, well-ventilated indoor area free from vibration and
excessive dust.
To provide adequate ventilation, be sure to leave at least 12 inches of
clearance on the sides and behind the unit.
CAUTION!
To allow for proper air flow, a minimum of 12 inches of
clearance space is required on the sides and behind the freezer. Allow enough
clearance so that the lid can swing open at least 90 degrees.
Do not position the equipment in direct sunlight or near heating diffusers,
radiators, or other sources of heat. The ambient temperature range at the
location must be 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C).
Make sure that there is no other equipment discharging condenser outlet air
near the freezer’s condenser inlet.
5.2 Wiring
Always connect the freezer to a dedicated (separate) circuit. Supply voltage
must be 10% or -10% of the freezer rated voltage.
CAUTION
Connect the equipment to the correct power source. Incorrect
voltage can result in severe damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
For personal safety and trouble-free operation, this unit must
be properly grounded before it is used. Failure to ground the equipment
may cause personal injury or damage to the equipment. Always conform to
the National Electrical Code and local codes. Do not connect the unit to
overloaded power lines.
CAUTION
Do not position the unit in a way that impedes access to the
disconnecting device or circuit breaker in the back of the unit.
