Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommendagainstuseof an adapter
plug. However, if you still elect to use
anadapter,where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARYCONNECTIONmay
be madeto a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by use of
a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
at most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE
The Iargerslot in the adapter must be
alignedwith 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 chec,kedby a qual-
ified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthe power
cordfromthe 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
hasagain been established.
Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still
elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessarythat it be a UL
listed3-wiregroundingtype appliance
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
throughyourlocalsetviceorganization.
The
freezer
should
always
be pluggedintoitsown
individualelectricaloutlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.
Some models are also rated 100volt,
50 Hertz. Checkthe model and serial
number plate.)
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
For most efficient operation, your
freezer should not be located where
air temperature around the freezer
is ever higher than llO° F.or colder
than 32° F.
Upright freezers take approxi-
mately half the floor space required
for chest type freezers and there-
fore can mote 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 fully loaded.

regarding location.
Allow 4 inches on top and 3 inches
at sides and back for proper air
circulation.
carefully
Turn left to raise–
right to lower
Legs at the front corners of the
freezer should beset so the freezer
is firmly positioned on the floor, and
the front is raised just enough so
the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.

Statiing
1.Clean the inside of the freezer
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water (see page 10).
2. Connect cord 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.
