Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the
“Caring for Your Freezer” section.
Location Requirements
Ventilation and Clearance
■ Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from freezer.
■ Do not cover the freezer with items such as blankets, sheets,
tablecloths, etc. This reduces air circulation.
■ Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer
and the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
Temperature
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your
freezer in a location where the temperature will not fall below this
recommended temperature.
Upon Moving to Final Location
NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another
freezer or refrigerator. Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the
freezer and a ¹⁄
4
" (6.4 mm) clearance between the appliances.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important
to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115-Volt, 60 Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for
3 seconds to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the freezer
from the electrical source.
Water Supply Requirements
(on some models)
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
Tools Needed
■ Flat-blade screwdriver
■
7
⁄
16
" and ¹⁄
2
" open-end or 2 adjustable wrenches
NOTE: Your freezer dealer has a kit available with a
¹⁄
4
" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shut-off valve, a union, and copper
tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-
type or ³⁄
16
" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow
and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■ If you turn the freezer on before the water line is connected,
turn the ice maker off.
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Important information to know about glass shelves
and covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers
are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid
dropping.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
