Location; When You Move - GE FH25 Use And Care Manual

Location

Your freezer should be conveniently located for day-
to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room.
For most efficient operation, it should not be located
where air temperature around the freezer is ever
higher than 110°F. or colder than 32°F.
Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips regarding location.
The freezer must be solidy positioned on the floor if it
is to function at its best. Shims may be used to
accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven. If
the place selected for the freezer is damp or moist,
place 2 X 4's under its entire length to assure
adequate support.
When You Goon Vacation
To maintain freezer in operation during vacations, be
sure your house power is not turned off. For sure
protection of freezer contents, you may want to ask a
neighbor to check the power supply and freezer
operation every 48 hours.
For extended vacations or absences, you may prefer to
move your frozen foods to a storage locker temporarily.
If your freezer is to be left empty, disconnect power
cord plug from wall outlet. To prevent formation of
odors, place open box of baking soda in freezer and
leave freezer lid open.
When the freezer is not operating, it can be left in an
unheated house or room without damage to cabinet or
mechanism.

PREPARATION
Clearance
The lid and hinge arrangement makes it impossible to
install the freezer directly against a wall. The space at
the back is essential to maintain proper air circulation
around the freezer.

When You Move

Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Remove foods, defrost and clean the freezer.
Secure all loose items such as grille and shelves by
taping them securely in place to prevent damage.
Be sure freezer stays in upright position during actual
moving and in van. The freezer must be secured in
van to prevent movement. Protect outside of freezer
with blanket.
