Setting Up Your Freezer
Before Using Your Freezer
- Remove exterior and interior packing.
- Let the freezer stand upright for approximately two hours before connecting to power.
- Wipe the inside.
- When moving, do not tilt beyond 45° from upright.
Finding a Suitable Location
- Freezer is designed for free-standing use only.
- Place on a floor strong enough to support the fully loaded freezer.
- Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) space between freezer sides and walls.
- Allow 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back and the wall.
- Allow 11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top and the ceiling.
- Ensure sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.
- Locate away from direct sunlight and heat sources (stove, heater, radiator).
- Avoid moist areas.
Leveling Your Freezer
- Rotate leveling feet clockwise (raise) or counter-clockwise (lower).
- The front should be slightly higher than the back.
Installing the Door Handle
- Unplug the freezer.
- Screw extended-head screws into door holes with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Loosen hex screws on the handle with the hex wrench so the handle fits over the extended head screws.
