Important Safeguards - Kenmore 461.91416 Use & Care Manual

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for
the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your
freezer to extension cords or together with any
other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not
splice the cord.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Try not to open the door too often, especially when
the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the
door, close it as soon as possible. This is especially
important if you have an upright model.
Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as
soon as possible (depends on how loaded the
appliance is, ambient temperatures etc.)
Before loading the appliance with packages of hot
foods, make sure that they are cooled to ambient
temperature. (soups)
Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so
clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is
3-5mm thick.
If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor,
energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
Always consider instructions stated in sections
"Choosing the right location" and "Energy Saving
Tips" otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING
IMPORTANT WARNING: An empty freezer is a
very dangerous attraction to children. Remove
either the gasket, latches, lids or doors from
unused appliances, or take some other action
that will guarantee it harmless.
DANGER: Risk of Child Entrapment! Before
you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before connecting the appliance to electrical power
supply, let it stand for about 2 hours, which will
reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling
system if the unit was tipped or layed down during
transit.
Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the
interior (See "Care and Maintenance".)
In case the interior accessories are not correctly
placed, rearrange them as described in the
"Features" section.
