How do you connect a freestanding freezer?

You have a new freezer or just moved your freezer. That means it's time to connect the machine. With these 6 steps, you can make your product ready for use.

Connect freezer in 6 steps

Install the freezer

You connect a freezer by going through the 6 steps below.

  • Step 1. Provide a socket
  • Step 2. Provide a suitable environment
  • Step 3. Choose a flat surface
  • Step 4. Leave 5cm of free space
  • Step 5. Turn on the freezer
  • Step 6. Set the temperature

Step 1: provide a socket

Socket

It sounds obvious, but you need a socket for a freezer. Make sure there's one near the freezer, so you don't need any extension cords or power strips. These items can't handle the constant high power, so they're a fire hazard.

Step 2: provide a suitable environment

Suitable environment

A freezer has a minimum and maximum ambient temperature. Make sure the temperatures in the chosen space fall within the temperature range of the appliance. That way, you keep the freezer from breaking and your groceries from going bad. You also shouldn't place your freezer in direct sunlight or near a heat source like an oven or radiator.

Step 3: choose a flat surface

Flat surface

You place a freezer on a flat surface. That way, your groceries won't move around and the freezer doesn't make any extra noise. With the foot supports, you can set up the freezer so that it leans backwards slightly. That way, the door closes more easily and you don't waste any energy.

Step 4: leave 5cm of free space

5cm

Leave at least 5cm of free space behind and next to the freezer. That way, the appliance has enough room to ventilate and your groceries will be frozen properly. You can check the recommended distance in the manual.

Step 5: turn on the freezer

Switching on the freezer

Once the freezer is set up correctly, you can turn on the appliance. Most appliances have an on/off button. If yours doesn't have this button, the freezer will simply turn on when you plug it into the socket. Was the appliance transported on its side? There might be motor oil in the compressor. Wait for 4 hours before you turn on your freezer, so the oil can drain away. That way, you avoid breaking the freezer.

Step 6: set the temperature

Freezer temperature

You set the freezer temperature to -18°C. This is the best way to freeze your groceries and to keep your energy costs low.
