It is very important for your appliance to be 

level in order to function properly. If the unit 

is not leveled during installation, the door may 

be misaligned and not close or seal properly, 

causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

•  To defrost, always unplug unit first.
•  Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power 

cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull 

straight out from the receptacle.

•  Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the 

compressor but does not disconnect power to 

other electrical components.

The appliance must have all bottom corners 

resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be 

strong enough to support a fully loaded unit. 

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating 

instructions for your model. Use the unit only as 

instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting 

Choose a place that is near a grounded  

electrical outlet. 
For the most efficient operation, the appliance 

should be located where surrounding 

temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). 

Temperatures of 32ºF (0ºC) and below will NOT 

affect freezer operation. Additional compressor 

heaters are not recommended. Allow space 

around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 

3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the unit for 

adequate circulation.

These guidelines must be followed to ensure 

that safety mechanisms in the design of this 

appliance will operate properly. 
•  Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical 

rating. The power cord of the appliance is 

equipped with a three-prong grounding plug 

for your protection against electrical shock 

hazards. It must be plugged directly into a 

properly grounded three-prong receptacle, 

protected with a 15-amp time delay fuse 

or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be 

installed in accordance with the local codes 

and ordinances. Consult a qualified electri-

cian. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault 

Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOM-

MENDED. Do NOT use an extension cord or 

adapter plug.

•  If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, 

appliance performance may be affected. Op-

erating the unit with insufficient power can 

damage the compressor. Such damage is not 

covered under the warranty. If you suspect 

your household voltage is high or low, con-

sult your power company for testing.

•  To prevent the appliance from being turned 

off accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet 

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

•  Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in 

any manner.
