  • When moving your freezer, do not tilt it beyond 45° from upright.
    Finding a suitable location

  • This freezer is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

  • Place your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the freezer when it is fully loaded.

  • If you locate the freezer next to a fixed wall, allow sufficient space on the hinge side for the door to swing open.
