Installation
The freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be built-in.

Be sure to install your freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when fully loaded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions are not completely understood. If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Use of Extension Cords

3-slot outlet that will accept the plug.
The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
