SETTING UP YOUR FREEZER
Before using your freezer
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Let the freezer stand upright for approximately
two hours before connecting it to power.
• Wipe the inside.
• When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond
45° from upright.
Finding a suitable location
• This freezer is designed to be free standing only,
and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your freezer on a oor that is strong enough
to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.
• If your freezer is located too far from your Wi-Fi
router, the signal may be too weak for a good
connection. If that’s the case, a Wi-Fi range
extender should improve connectivity.
• Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the
sides of the freezer and the walls, 3.9 inches (10
cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall,
and 11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top of the
freezer and the ceiling.
• If you locate the freezer next to a xed wall, allow
sucient space on the hinge side for the door to
swing open.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat, such as a stove, heater, or radiator.
Direct sunlight may aect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold temperatures may also prevent the
freezer from performing properly.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.
Leveling your freezer
• If the feet are not adjusted during installation, the
doors may not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
• To level your freezer, rotate the leveling feet
clockwise (to raise) the freezer or
counter-clockwise (to lower). The front of the
freezer should be slightly higher than the back.
