Setting Up Your Freezer

Before Using Your Freezer

• Remove all exterior and interior packing materials.
• Allow the freezer to stand upright for approximately two hours before connecting it to power.
• Wipe the inside of the freezer.
• When moving the freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.

Finding a Suitable Location

• This freezer is designed for free-standing installation only and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support its full weight.
• Ensure adequate ventilation: allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) space on the sides, 3.9 inches (10 cm) at the back, and 11.8 inches (30 cm) at the top.
• If placing next to a wall, allow enough space on the hinge side for the door to open fully.
• Locate the freezer away from direct sunlight and heat sources (stoves, heaters, radiators).
• Avoid extremely cold temperatures that may affect performance.
• Avoid locating the freezer in moist areas.

Leveling Your Freezer

Proper leveling is crucial for the doors to close and seal correctly, preventing cooling, frost, or moisture issues. Rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) or counter-clockwise (to lower). The front of the freezer can be slightly higher than the back.

Installing the Door Handle

1. Unplug the freezer.
2. Screw the extended-head screws into the door holes using a Phillips screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
3. Loosen the hex screws on the top and bottom of the handle using the provided hex wrench.
4. Fit the handle over the extended head screws.
5. Tighten the hex screws to secure the handle.
