Read all instructions before using this freezer.

For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other
warnings.

Child Safety

•

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the freezer is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may
become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

•

A child might suffocate if he crawls into a freezer to hide or play.  Remove
the door of a freezer when not in use, even if you plan to discard the
freezer.  

Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety

precaution.

Important Safety
Instructions

Avoid fire hazard or

electric shock.  Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.  Do not remove
any prong from power cord.

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design of this freezer will operate properly.

• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. 

 The power cord of the

appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against
shock hazards.  It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-
prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.  The
receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances.
Consult a qualified electrician.  Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED.  

DO NOT

use an extension

cord or adapter plug.

• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected.

Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the warranty.  If you suspect your household voltage
is high or low, consult your power company for testing.

• To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not  plug unit into an

outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.

Other Precautions

• To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord.  Always grip the plug firmly

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

• Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect

power to other electrical components.

Proper Disposal of Your

Refrigerator/Freezer

 Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezer are still dangerous —
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”  If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below
to help prevent accidents.

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:

• Remove door/lid.

• Leave shelves in
  place so children
  may not easily
  climb inside.
