Before Using Your Freezer

1. Remove the exterior and interior packing.
2. Before connecting the freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from
handling during transportation.
3. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
4. Install the handle on the left side of the door.

Installation of Your Freezer

•
This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
•
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your
freezer, adjust the front leveling legs.
•
For free-standing installation, 5" (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4"
(102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼" (6.35mm) space on each side and at
the top and 2" (51mm) at the rear. If the unit has an air vent at the front, take care that it is never
covered or blocked in any way.
•
Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified or authorized product service center.
