Preparing To Install The Freezer - GE FUM13 Manual Del Propietario Y Instalación

Preparing to install the freezer.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Freezer Location
Your freezer should be conveniently located for
day-to-day use in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Do not install the freezer where the temperature will
go below 0°F or above 110°F, because it will not
maintain proper temperatures.
Be sure to install your freezer on a floor strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Clearances
On all models, allow 3" (76 mm) on top, back and
sides for proper air circulation.
Turn right Turn left
to lower to raise
Adjustable Legs
(on Upright models)
Legs at the front corners of the freezer should
be set so the freezer is firmly positioned on
the floor, and the front is raised just enough
so the door closes easily when opened about
halfway.
Level Freezer
Upright Models:
Discard crate screws and wood base. Use
a carpenter's level to level the freezer from
back to front. Adjust the plastic leveling feet
in front 1/2 bubble higher so the door closes
easily when left open.
Chest Models:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between
foot pads and floor.
Unit Loading
(on Upright models)
CAUTION: To allow the door to close and seal
properly, DO NOT let food packages extend
past the front of the shelves.
The freezer must be solidly positioned on the floor
if it is to function at its best. Shims may be used to
accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven.
If the place selected for the freezer is damp or moist,
place 2 X 4's (51 mm X 102 mm) under its entire
length to ensure adequate support.
