FREEZER INSTALLATION

Unpacking

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.
Removing 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 the "Freezer Safety" section.
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.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the
"Freezer Care" section

Location Requirements

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.
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature is normally between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F
(32°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 in. (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both
sides of the freezer and 1 in. (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: Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from freezer. Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator
or other heat source.
