First Steps - Frigidaire FFFC20M4TW Use & Care Manual

This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the unit only as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before starting the unit, follow
these important first steps.
Location
Choose a location with a grounded electrical
outlet – avoid using any Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter ( GFCI) outlets.
Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded
(two prong) adapter. At the rear of the freezer,
pull power cord straight out of the protective
shipping enclosure and unwind enough of the
power cord to plug into the electrical outlet.
For the most efficient operation, the freezer
should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C).
Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will
NOT affect operation. Additional compressor
heaters are not recommended.
Allow space around the unit for good air
circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on
all sides of the unit for adequate circulation.
 NOTE
The exterior walls of the freezer may become
quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures
as high as 30°F warmer than room
temperature can be expected. For this reason
it is particularly important in hotter climates
to allow enough space for air circulation
around your unit.
Leveling
(optional)
NOTE

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to
be level in order to function properly. If the unit
is not leveled during installation, the lid may
be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
Use the leveling legs (located on the left side,
front and rear) to ensure that all 4 corners of
the freezer are resting firmly on a solid floor.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to retract the
legs and counterclockwise to extend the legs.
Ensure the floor is strong enough to support a
fully loaded freezer.
