Caution
Insufficient line voltage is often the
cause of compressor start-up failure,
especially in 115V freezers. It is
strongly recommended that a dedicat-
ed 20A circuit, conforming to the
National Electrical Code, be used for
powering the freezer.
Caution
Be sure that the power supply is the
same voltage that is specified on the
freezer's data plate.
Warning
For personal safety this unit must be
properly grounded.
Warning
DO NOT under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord. DO NOT use a
two-prong adapter plug.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal respon-
sibility and obligation of the user to
have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle.
Caution
Do not use an extension cord. Use of
an ungrounded cord or an overloaded
circuit VOIDS the compressor warranty.
Electrical Connection
The frequency and nominal voltage requirements for the
unit are specified on the data plate, which is located on
the interiors upper left side. Plug the unit into a power
source that meets these requirements. Low line voltage
is often the cause of service complaints. With the unit run-
ning, check that the line voltage is within ±5% of that
specified on the data plate.
The power cord of the single door model is equipped with
a NEMA 5-20P three-prong (grounding) plug which must
mate with a standard NEMA 5-20R three-prong (ground-
ing) wall receptacle. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
verify the receptacle is properly grounded and is connect-
ed to 20 amp service minimum.
The power cord for the two and three-door models is
equipped with a NEMA L14-20P four prong (grounding)
plug which must mate with a standard NEMA L14-20R
four-prong (grounding) receptacle. The customer should
have the wall receptacle and circuit breaker checked by a
qualified electrician to verify the receptacle is properly
grounded and connected to a 20 amp service minimum.
During compressor start-up, the unit will momentarily
draw more current than under normal running conditions.
To avoid nuisance tripping of circuit breakers, it may be
necessary to install an HACR rated breaker.
