CAUTION: Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock or death.
Recommended Grounding Method:
A 115 Volt (AC only) 60 Hz grounded electrical supply with a 15- or 20- amp fuse or circuit breaker is
required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use
outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Leveling your Appliance
Locate the two front leveling legs that may be taped among the packing materials. (In many models
these legs are already mounted into the underside of the appliance.)
1. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the appliance. The back of the appliance
rests on two fixed supports. (Built-in models have rear level legs for more precise leveling).
2. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.
NOTE: If your model is equipped with front rollers, the front legs should be lowered enough to lift the
rollers off the floor to ensure the appliance does not roll forward when the door is opened.
3. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance, first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg
counter-clockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
4. Repeat Step 3 until appliance is level.
5. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 3.
If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have brakes to prevent rolling. Keep
brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.
When Using your Appliance
• In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the appliance. Do not
block off any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be hindered, and temperature and
moisture problems may occur. Always position contents to allow some airflow between shelves
or baskets.
• Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the appliance is
cooled. It may take 6 to 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the number
of times the appliance door is opened. After the appliance has cooled, the compressor will
turn on and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.
• For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit be at least 30% full
during use. If you are only using this unit to store small loads, we recommend adding some
water bottles or freezer packs to ensure temperature stability.
• The outside of your appliance may feel warm. This is normal. The appliance’s design and main
function is to remove heat from packages and air space inside the appliance. The heat is
transferred to the room air, making the outside of the appliance feel warm. (In some models the
condenser that gets warm is just inside the side walls, making these walls warm to the touch.)
Energy-Saving Tips
• The more airflow provided around an appliance, the less energy it will use.
• If your appliance requires manual defrosting, keep ice build-up to less than 1/2".
• Keep doors open a minimum of time and shut securely.
