Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your
freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Caring for Your
Freezer."
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
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.
Ventilation and Clearance
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from
freezer.
Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides
of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. If the freezer is to be next to a fixed wall, leave extra space
on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area where
the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your freezer in a
location where the temperature will not fall below this recommended
temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: Allow for a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¹⁄₄"
(6.4 mm) clearance between the appliances.
3" (7.5 cm)
Electrical Requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important to
make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing
a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for 3 seconds to turn off
cooling, and then disconnect the freezer from the electrical source.
