INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
After transit where the freezer has been on its side or back, ensure that the freezer is in a
level, upright position for 12 hours before connecting the appliance to a power source, this will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation..
UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance. To avoid injury and causing damage to the
appliance, be extremely cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task. Keep children away
from the packaging material
- DANGER OF SUFFOCATION!
Wash the inside and outside of the appliance
with lukewarm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring
sponges, or chemical cleaning agents should not be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft brush
or towel is recommended. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and dry. You may want to leave the doors open
allowing the compartments to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors. Check with your local
Environmental Agency for recommendations on recycling packaging materials in your area.
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
The area in which the freezer is to be installed must be relatively cool, dry, and suitably ventilated. The area
must be protected against any inclement weather (rain, snow) and excessive surface dust. To ensure proper
function, the appliance must be placed on a flat, firm, and stable surface resting level on all four supports.
The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded cabinet. Use wood or metal shims to level the
freezer if necessary. Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or
heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the
appliance to perform improperly.
Do not place the freezer close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler, chimney, etc.), and avoid prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight. This appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from the inside of the
cabinet. Ensure that there is adequate space between the freezer and neighboring walls or large objects.
A
minimum spacing of 3 inches (7.6 cm) is highly recommended.
This will provide sufficient airflow around
the appliance resulting in more efficient operation and longer appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent
openings of the compressor housing cover free from dust and obstructions. This appliance is intended for
free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter.
