Wed adapter plug
Becauseof potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
use of an adapter plug, However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TIEfvIPORARY CONNECTIONmay
be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall outlet by use of a
UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
at most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in the
wall outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:Attaching adapterground
terminal to wall outlet cover screw
does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall outlet is
groundedthrough house wiring.You
should have the circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand.
Hthis is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, IX) NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has been established.

Becauseof potentialsafety
hazards under certain conditions,
we'stmmglyrecommendagainst
the use of an extensioncord.
However,if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely
"necessary that it be a UL listed
3-wiregrounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding
type piug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15
amperes (minimum) and 120volts.
Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
service organization.
The freezer shxddl always
be plugged into its own
indhfictual e lectrical outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.
Some models are also rated 100
volt, 50 Hertz. Check the model
and serial number plate.)This is
recommendedfor best performance
and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause
a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.

Location
Yourfreezer should be conveniently
located for day-to-dayuse in a dry,
well-ventilated room.
For most efficient operation, it
should not be located where air
temperature around the freezer is
ever higher than 1lO°F.or colder
than 32*F.
Be sure to install your freezer on a
floor strong enough to support it
when it is fully loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Allow 4 inches on top and 3 inches
at sides and hack for proper air
circulation.
AdjustableLegs
Turn left to raise—
Legs at the front corners of the
freezer should be set so the freezer
is firmly positionedon the floor,and
the front is raisedjust enough so
the door closeseasilywhen opened
about halfway.
Starting
1. Clean the inside of the freezer
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water (see page 12).
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, t urnto highernumbers.
4. Allowfreezerto operatefor at least
two hours beforeplacing food inside.
TemperatureControl
Freezing temperature selection is
made by setting the control from
No. 1 to No. 7 (coldest).
Normal, safe freezing level is
obtained by setting the control at
No. 4.
OFF position permits turning the
freezer off without unplugging it.
