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 rst.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug rmly 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 rmly on a solid oor. The oor 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
rst steps.
Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded
electrical outlet.
For the most efcient operation, the appliance
should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C).
Models with the electronic temperature control
option can be located where the surrounding
temperature drops to 0°F (-18°C). Additional
compressor heaters are not recommended.
Models with electromechanical temperature
control should not be located where the
surrounding temperature drops below
40°F (4°C). These models do not have the
automatic freeze control option to prevent
refrigerated food from freezing. 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.
