below 0°F (-18°C) or above 110°F (43°C), because it will
not maintain proper temperatures.

Do not install the freezer in a location exposed to rain
water or direct sunlight.
Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong enough
to support it when it is fully loaded.
NOTE: It should not be necessary to remove the lid
during installation. If, for some reason, the hinges need
adjustment, call a professional service company..
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets,
sheets, tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.

loosest at this position.)
3. Remove the 4 screws from the upper part of the hinge
and lid. The 16' freezer has 3 hinges and the 22'
freezer has 4 hinges total.
