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

Allow at least

2.75" (7 cm)

of air space on both sides of the freezer

and

2.75" (7 cm)

between the back of the freezer and the wall.

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.
