1.1 SAFETY INFORMATION

When using this appliance always
exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
• Use this product only for its
intended purpose as instructed in
this Owner's Manual.
• WARNING Do not use an
⚠
extension cord when plugging
your freeze dryer into your power
source. Many extension cords
cannot handle a sufficient draw
of power and may melt or deform
causing a fire or other damage.
• Do not use surge protectors or
plug your freeze dryer into a GFI
outlet. These sources are very
sensitive and may cause your
freeze dryer to unnecessarily trip
the power breaker.
• Do not allow children to climb,
stand on the freeze dryer, or hang
on the door or shelves. They could
damage the freeze dryer and
injure themselves.

cycle, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.

closing doors when children are

cleaning or making repairs. We
strongly advise that all service be
done by a qualified individual.

products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must

disposal. If you choose to dispose
of an old refrigeration product,
check with the company handling
the disposal about what to do.
