WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Is the Temperature Control turned to the OFF position?
See "Using the Control."
Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)? Recheck to see
whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your freezer will
regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable
food at once.
After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to
allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep
the door closed whenever possible.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
When you are moving your freezer to a new home, follow these
steps to prepare it for the move.
1. Remove all frozen food.
2. Unplug the freezer.
3. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
4. Clean the freezer thoroughly.
5. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.
When you get to your new home, refer to the "Installation
Instructions" and "Freezer Use" sections for information on
installation and setting the controls.
