Becauseof potential safety
hazardsunder certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,

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.

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.
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 LEE the
appliance until a proper ground

we strongiy recommendagainst
the use of an extensioncord.
However,if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely
necessarythat it be a UL listed
3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding

electrical rating of the cord be 15

Such extension cords are

freezer should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phase AC.
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-day use 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 I1O*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 back for proper air
circulation.

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, iong-term freezing. For colder
temperatures, t urn to highernumbers.
4. Aliow freezerto operatefor at least
two hours before placing food inside.
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.
