adapter plug
Because of potential 'safetyhazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against'useof an adapter
plug, However, if you still elect to use
an adapter,where local codes permit,
aTEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made toa properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by use of
a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
at most local hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
"
(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA)
-
The Iargerslot in the ada~ter must be
aligned-with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should
have the circuit checked by a qual-
ified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthe power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Wed extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions,we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However,if you still
elect to use an extensioncord, it is
absolutely necessarythat it be a LJL
listed3-wiregroundingtypeappliance
extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be
15
amperes (minimum) and 120volts.
Such extensioncords are obtainable
throughyourlocalserviceorganization.
The
freezer slmdcfaiways
be pluggedinto itsown
individualelectricaloutlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.
Some models are also rated IOOvolt,
50 Hertz. Check the model and serial
number p!ate.)
This is recommended for best perfor-
mance and to prevent overloading
house wiring circuits, which could
cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.
Freezer Installation
Location
For most efficient operation, your
freezer should not be located where
air temperature around the freezer
is ever higher than 1lO° F,or colder
than 32°17
Upright freezers take approxi-
mate y half the floor space required
for chest type freezers and there-
fore can more readily be placed in
your kitchen. A location next to the
refrigerator often is ideal, with the
refrigerator on the side nearer the
sink and range.
Be sure to install your freezer on
a floor strong enough to support it
when it is fuily loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Allow 4
inches on top and 3 inches
at sides and back
for proper air
circulation.
AdjustableLegs
Turn left to raise-
Legs at the front corners of the
freezer should beset so the freezer
is firml y positioned on the floor, and
the front is raised just enough so
the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
Freezer
1. Clean the inside of the freezer
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water (see page 9).
2. Connectcord to
power outlet.
3. Turn temperature control to
No. 4. This is the normal setting
for safe long-term freezing. For
colder temperatures, turn to
higher numbers,
4. Allow freezer to operate for at
least two hours before placing food
inside.
