Bnstallation
NOTE
The exterior wails 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 con be expected. For this reason it is
particularly important in hotter climates to allow enough
space for oir circuJofion around your freezer.
Leveling
The freezer must have oil bottom corners resting firmly on
o solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support o
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 instoJJotion, the door moy be
misoligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems.
