Keep the freezer in the upright position. If transporting it in an upright position is not possible, lay it down on the compressor side of the unit. Be careful to secure the door to prevent it from opening. If it has been transported on its side, set it upright in its final location and allow the freezer to sit for the same amount of time that it was on its side (24 hours maximum). Do not plug the freezer into the electrical receptacle without allowing this settling time. The appliance can be damaged if it is plugged in prematurely. If the freezer was transported in an upright position there is no waiting time required.
