REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your upright freezer
REMOVE TAPE AND GLUE FROM YOUR UPRIGHT FREEZER BEFORE USING
To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can also be
easily removed by rubbing 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 upright freezer.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your upright freezer before using it.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
Your upright freezer should be conveniently located for day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room. Do not in-
stall the upright freezer where the temperature will go below 50°F or above 90°F, because it will not maintain
proper temperatures. Be sure to install your upright freezer on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATION
A freestanding installation will allow you to install the upright freezer in any place you desire provided that the re-
quired clearance space around the appliance is respected. In every setting, there must be adequate ventilation
and access for service. Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet.
Before connecting the upright freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This
will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
The normal operation of the upright freezer depends on heat radiation from the condenser. Allow at least 6
inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circulation to cool
the compressor and condenser. The installation should allow the upright freezer to be pulled forward for ser-
vicing if necessary.
This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind, rain, water spray or drips. Do
NOT use the upright freezer in outdoor setting.
The upright freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
Too much humidity in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent de-
frosting of the upright freezer.
Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.
The upright freezer must be installed with all electrical requirements followed.
The unit should be located on a hard and level surface that can support the unit when it is full. It is important
for the upright freezer to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the upright
freezer by turning the leveling legs. See the “Leveling the Upright Freezer” section (page 8).
Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people should move and install upright freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
