Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded electri-
cal outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an
adapter plug.
The freezer should be located where surround-
ing temperatures will not exceed 110° F (43°
C). Temperatures of 32° F (0° C) and below will

of the freezer for adequate circulation.

Installation
Leveling
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.
