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.
See Proper
Freezer Disposal left. Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety
precaution.
•
Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
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 with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
(GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED.
DO NOT
use an extension cord or an 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 the unit into
an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Other Precautions
• To defrost freezer, always unplug the 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.
