Section 2 Installation Information

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 unit is equipped with at three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly in to 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 current edition of the
National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) 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 the voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer and/or
refrigerator 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 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 in to an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any
manner.

Leveling

The freezer and/or refrigerator must have all bottom
corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be
strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer and/or
refrigerator.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer and/or
refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If
the unit is not leveled during installation, the door/lid
may be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a
carpenter's level to level the unit from front to back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher,
so that the door closes easily when left half way open.

WARNING

pressor but does not disconnect power to other
electrical components.
