Safety

For children
Avoid accidents. After unpacking the
freezer, keep packaging materials out
of reach, especially from children. Do
not allow children to handle the
freezer, even when it is disconnected.
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material
immediately after the freezer is
unpacked. Children should never use
these items to play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets
or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers, and can quickly cause
suffocation.
Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and
destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or
furniture.
An empty, discarded ice box, or
freezer is a very dangerous attraction
to children.
For the user / installer
Disconnect the freezer before cleaning
or doing maintenance.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling on
the power cord. Use the plug.
Don´t put the power cord into the
water.
Do not bend, twist or tie the power
cable.
Keep the cord away from the
compressor, as the compressor heats
up when it is operating, and may
damage the cord, which could cause
a short circuit.
The electric cord should be
serviced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
Flammable aerosols and
combustible products (gas for
lighters, banana oil, alcohol,
gasoline, propane, etc.) or
products that bear a small flame
symbol should not be stored in
freezers, do not even come close
to the freezer, as they may cause
explosions.
Do not place your freezer
outdoors. Do not use your freezer
near water, e.g. next to a sink, in a
wet cellar ou near a swimming
pool, or other similar location.
To avoid the risk of fire, never
place lit candles on top of the
freezer.
Proper disposal of your freezer
• Risk of child entrapment.
• Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned freezers are still
dangerous — even if they will sit for
"just a few days." If you are getting
rid of your old freezer , please follow
the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old
freezer
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves inplace so children
maynot easily climb inside.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance
that is not in use, even if it is being
discarded.

Contact a qualified electrician.
Receptacles protected by ground
fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) are not
recommended. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or
more, the freezer 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
that your house voltage is high or low,
contact the power company in order
to test it.
• Do not bend, knot or pinch the
power cable.
• For defrosting, pull out the plug first.
