TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN 
USING YOUR UPRIGHT FREEZER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:

 

 

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

sively wet cloth, industrial solvents, and oil-based products to clean this appliance. 

 

To clean the upright freezer, use only mild detergents. Never use harsh chemicals or solvents. 

 

Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli-
ance. The fumes can create a fire hazard. 

 

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the appliance. 

 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children with reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety 

 

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 

 

Ensure the upright freezer is unplugged before cleaning or if not in use 

 

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified 
person in order to avoid a hazard. 

 

Use the upright freezer only for its intended function. This appliance is designed for household, non-commercial 
use only. Any other use will void the warranty. 

 

Do not plug this upright freezer into the power source before setup is completed. 

 

An empty upright freezer can be dangerous for children and small animals. If disposing of the upright freezer, 
remove gaskets, latches, and the entire upright freezer door from your unused appliance so that children or 
small animals cannot be trapped inside. 

 

The upright freezer is an electrical appliance. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not operate the 
upright freezer with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface, or while standing in water. 

 

To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used in bathrooms, shower rooms, or in any other 
steamy or wet areas.

 

Do not tamper with controls. 

 

Make sure the power plug is placed fully and firm into the power source. If the wall receptacle you intend to use 
is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install 
an outlet that is appropriate to local electrical codes and requirements. 

 

Do not use multiple socket or an extension cord as it may overheat and become a risk of fire. Please ensure that 
the upright freezer is plugged directly into the electrical outlet. 

 

The cord should be secured behind the unit and should not be left exposed or dangling

grounded plug on the power cord for your protection. Never modify, remove or attempt to repair the power plug 
yourself. 

 

Never pull the power cord to disconnect the unit from an outlet. Grasp the plug directly and pull it from the outlet. 

 

Never lift or carry the upright freezer by the power cord. 

 

Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. 


