Safety Precautions

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-
prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Where a
standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter. The freezer should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best perfor-
mance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the freezer
away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-
wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rat-
ing of the cord be 15 amperes and 115 volts. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electric shock,
or death.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
•
Transport the appliance in an upright position only.
•
Always place the appliance on even and hard and level surface.
•
Close the freezer door immediately after putting in any items to maintain the internal temperature of the unit.
•
Avoid placing the freezer near external heat sources or direct sunlight.
•
Make sure the freezer is placed on a flat, level, and solid surface.
•
Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
•
Do not turn the freezer upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.
•
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet
are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area
•
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these
extremely cold surfaces
•
Do not move this freezer without securing the door in a closed and latched position.
•
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely
•
Performance may vary based on operational and ambient conditions.
