NOTE
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST STEPS
WARNING
Other Precautions
•  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.
Leveling  
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 
the unit, follow these important first steps.
Location
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.

WARNING
Electrical Information
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.
