Adjusting your Freeze • Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in. • Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded. • When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system. • If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging in. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
