Installation
This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating 
instructions for your model. Use the freezer only as 
instructed in this Use & Care Manual. 
Before starting 
the freezer, follow these important first steps.
lOCaTiON
 •  Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. 
do Not use an extension cord or an adapter 
plug.
 •  For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be
located where surrounding temperatures will not drop  
below 40°F (5°C) or exceed 110°F (43°C). 
 •  Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and electrical connections:
 
 
Sides    
3/8”
 
 
Back & Top 
1”
 •  Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your
freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the 
proper operation of your freezer.

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 30°F warmer than 
room temperature can be expected. 
       
NOTE
If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against 
a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the 
door can be opened wider.
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.    
To level 
freezer:
After discarding 
crating screws 
and wood 
base, use a 
carpenter’s 
level to level 
the freezer 
from front-to-
back. Adjust the 
plastic leveling 
feet in front, ½ 
bubble higher, 
so that the door 
closes easily 
when left halfway open. 
Leveling Instructions for all Refrigerator/Freezer Pair:  
 •  Remove two leg levelers provided in literature bag.
While unit is lying on its back for  wood skid removal, 
install both leg levelers in rear of unit.
 •  Level door of first unit using all four levelers and slide
unit into place. Recheck for levelness and adjust if 
necessary.
 •  Measure distance from floor to bottom of door on
first unit. Adjust and level second unit so door height 
matches. 
 •  Leg Level Adjustments
 
-  One full turn of all four leg levelers will raise door 
5/32”.
 
-  One full turn of both front leg levelers will raise 
door 3/16” and tilt top of door back 7/16”.
 
-  One full turn of both rear leg levelers will lower 
door 1/32” and tilt top of door forward 7/16”.
 
-  One full turn of both side leg levelers will raise 
door 3/16” and tilt top of door 3/8”.
 •  Slide second unit into place leaving a minimum gap
of 3/16” between units for door swing clearance.
 •  This last step may require at least one extraction of
the  second unit to properly align units in a “built-in” 
application.
