ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 110 V-120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A or 20 A fused (or
circuit breaker), 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 or
pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

2.75" (7 cm)
of air space on both sides of the freezer
and
2.75" (7 cm)

Leave room above the freezer to open the lid.
Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature is normally between 32°F (0°C) and
110°F (43°C).
Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator or other heat
source.
Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
