Setting up your freezer
Before using your freezer
Remove the exterior and interior packaging including the bottom cushions, foam pads, and tape
inside your freezer.
Let your freezer stand upright for approximately 4 hours before connecting it to power. This
reduces the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from incorrect handling during transportation.
Before putting any fresh or frozen foods in your freezer, let your freezer run for two to three
hours. If the ambient
temperature is high, for example in summer, wait four or more hours.
Wash the inside with a damp, warm cloth and a baking soda solution (two tablespoons in a quart
of water), then wipe
dry with a dry cloth. Do this periodically to keep your freezer looking new.
When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.
Finding a suitable location
Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support your freezer when it is fully loaded.
Do not install your freezer on carpeting or a rug.
If you use your freezer in a garage, make sure that the ambient temperature is greater than 55° F
(13° C).
Your freezer is designed to be free standing and should not be recessed or built-in.
Allow 4 inches (10.2 cm) of space between the sides of your freezer and the surrounding walls, 4
inches (10.2 cm)
between the back of your freezer and the wall, and do not block the top of your freezer. This
allows for correct air
ventilation.
If you locate your freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door
to swing open.
Position your freezer away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or
