NOTE: The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the
inside, Temperatures as much as 80 ° F warmer than room
temperature can be expected, For this reason it is particu-
larly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for
air circulation around your freezer,
LEVEUNG
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on
a solid floor, The floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded freezer, NOTE: it is Very Important
for your
freezer to be level in order to function properly, if the
freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may be
misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems, if needed, add metal or wood
shims between foot pads and floor,
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the
room, away from heat producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight,
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in
the freezer, Overloading the freezer forces the compres-
sor to run longer, Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality or spoil,
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the freezer, This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the freezer,
o Freezer baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil,
wax paper, or paper toweling, Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the freezer less efficient,
o Organize and label food to reduce lid openings and
extended searches, Remove as many items as needed
at one time, and close the lid as soon as possible,
