INSTALLATION
Read this entire manual thoroughly prior to equipment set-up, operation and/or maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
If the freezer has recently been transported on its side, allow the unit to stand upright for a
minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
Make sure all shelves and accessories are properly installed before plugging in the unit.
Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service
technician for all servicing and repair needs.
Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit.
Make sure the freezer has reached the desired temperature before loading.
Location Guide
Install unit on a strong and leveled surface. If the surface is uneven, the freezer may be noisy or
malfunction.
Install unit in an indoor, well ventilated area. Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and
damage to the unit. Avoid direct sunlight.
For best performance, allow 6” of clearance on sides and the back of the unit during operation.
Avoid installation in high humidity and/or dusty areas. High humidity can cause the unit to rust and
may decrease efficiency. Dust collected on the condenser coil may cause unit to malfunction.
Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment. High ambient temperatures
may cause the compressor to malfunction.
Electrical Warnings
Ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
The freezer should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate
overcurrent protection. Each unit should have its own dedicated outlet. Please refer to the
electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
Do not use extension cords.
Ensure the freezer is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, unplug it from the outlet.
To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
After unplugging the unit, wait 10 minutes prior to plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the compressor.
