INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
Remove Packaging Materials
■
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and
dry.
■
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more
information, see “Freezer Safety.”
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
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 or pull chain. Do not use an
extension cord.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
When Moving Your Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
“walk” the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
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.
