Electrical Information

•  The freezer must be plugged into its 

own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 

Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The 

power cord of the appliance is equipped 

with a three-prong grounding plug for your 

protection against electrical shock hazards. 

It must be plugged directly into a properly 

grounded three prong receptacle. The 

receptacle must be installed in accordance 

with local codes and ordinances. Consult 

a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting 

freezer to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) 

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure 

that safety mechanisms in this freezer will 

operate properly.

IMPORTANT

Turning the temperature control to OFF will 

disable your freezer’s cooling system, but 

does not disconnect the power to the light 

bulb and other electrical components. To 

turn off power to your freezer you must 

unplug the power cord from the electrical 

outlet.

circuit. Do not use an extension cord or 

adapter plug.

• 

If the power cord is damaged, it should 

be replaced by an authorized service 

technician to prevent any risk.

• 

Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the 

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, 

and pull straight out from the receptacle to 

prevent damaging the power cord.

• 

Unplug the freezer before cleaning and 

before replacing a light bulb to avoid 

electrical shock.

• 

Performance may be affected if the voltage 

varies by 10% or more. Operating the 

freezer with insufficient power can damage 

the compressor. Such damage is not 

covered under your warranty.

• 

Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet 

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to 

prevent the freezer from being turned off 

accidentally.

Proper Disposal of Your 

Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not 

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned 

refrigerators or freezers 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.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance 

recycling/disposal methods. Check with your 

utility company or visit  

www.energystar.gov/recycle for more 

information on recycling your old appliance.
Before You Throw Away Your Old 

Refrigerator/Freezer:

• 

Remove doors.

• 

Leave shelves in place so children may not 

easily climb inside.

•  Have refrigerant removed by a qualified 

service technician.
