Installation Instructions - Danby DUFM060B2WDB Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE PLUGGING IN
• Remove interior and exterior packaging. Wipe
the outside with a soft, dry cloth and the inside
with a lukewarm wet cloth.
• Two people should work together to move the
freezer. Place it on a fl oor that is strong enough
to support it when it is fully loaded. Do not
place it in direct sunlight or near sources of
heat, like a stove or heater, as this can increase
electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may also cause the freezer to
perform improperly. Do not use near water, for
example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• This freezer is intended for indoor household
and garage use only. Freezers are tested to
perform in temperatures ranging from 0°F to
110°F (-17°C to 43°C). It is not designed for
outside installation, including anywhere that is
not temperature controlled etc.
• This freezer is intended for free-standing
installation only and is not intended to be built
into a cabinet or counter. Building in this freezer
can cause it to malfunction.
• Before connecting to a power source, let the
freezer stand upright for approximately 6 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction
in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• This freezer is 54.4 cm (21.4 inches) wide by
142.5 cm (56.1 inches) high by 57.1 cm (22.5
inches) deep. Leave enough space on at least 2
sides to allow the door to open fully.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There are two adjustable feet on the bottom of the
freezer that can be turned up or down to ensure it is
level.
Turn the adjustable feet counter-clockwise until
the top of the feet are touching the bottom of
the cabinet, then slowly turn the adjustable feet
clockwise until the appliance is level.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the appliance can be adjusted
by turning the thermostat dial. There are three
temperature settings, MIN, NORMAL and MAX.
• MIN is the warmest setting.
• MAX is the coldest setting.
• NORMAL should be suffi cient for regular use.
• The temperature range of the appliance is
approximately -14°C (6.8°F) to -23°C (-9.4°F).
IMPORTANT NOTE
The freezer door may be diffi cult to open immediately
after closing it. This is normal and is due to the
pressure difference between the cold interior of the
freezer and the warm air that has just entered the
freezer when the door was opened.
The pressure will equalize within a few minutes. If the
door is especially diffi cult to open, wait 5 minutes to
allow the pressure to equalize and then try again.
TIPS FOR DAILY USE
• Do not place food directly against the rear wall
or packed tightly together as this can impede air
circulation.
• Frozen food must not be re-frozen once thawed.
• Store prepackaged food in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not place carbonated drinks in the freezer as
this can cause it to explode, resulting in damage to
the freezer.
• Do not remove or touch items in the freezer with
damp or wet hands as the cold can cause skin
abrasions and freezer burns.
• Do not put hot food into the freezer.
• If the freezer looses power, do not open the door
unless absolutely necessary to preserve food as
long as possible.
• The temperature inside the freezer can vary based
on ambient room temperature, the frequency that
the door is opened and the amount of fresh food
that has recently been added to the unit.
• Do not overload the freezer as this can affect
performance. Do not freeze large quantities of
fresh food at the same time.
