Excessive Weight Hazard
Two or more people should move and install upright refrigerator/deep freezer. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
REMOVE PACKAGING MATERIALS
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your upright refrigerator/
deep freezer
REMOVE TAPE AND CLUE 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 refrigerator/deep freezer.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
•
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your upright refrigerator/deep freezer
before using it.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
Your upright refrigerator/deep freezer should be conveniently located for day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated
room. Do not install the upright refrigerator/deep 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 refrigerator/deep 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 refrigerator/deep freezer in any place you desire
provided that the required 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 refrigerator/deep freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for ap-
proximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling dur-
ing transportation.
•
The normal operation of the upright refrigerator/deep 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 refrigerator/deep
freezer to be pulled forward for servicing 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 refrigerator/deep freezer in outdoor setting.
•
The upright refrigerator/deep freezer should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat re-sources.
•
Too much humidity in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent de-
frosting of the upright refrigerator/deep freezer.
•
Avoid locating the appliance in area that may be exposed to excessive moisture.
•
The upright refrigerator/deep 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 refrigerator/deep freezer to be level in order to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the
height of the upright refrigerator/deep freezer by turning the feet. See the “Leveling the Upright Freezer”
section.
