SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
• This freezer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before
it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the freezer. They could damage the
freezer and seriously injure themselves.
• After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are damp or
wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Unplug the freezer before cleaning, making repairs or changing the light bulb.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
• Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit on models with interior
light.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
• The maximum amount of food your freezer is designed to freeze at one time is approximately 3 pounds
(1.5 kg) per cubic foot of freezer capacity. In normal position, your freezer's temperature control will
maintain sufficiently low temperatures in the freezer to freeze recommended quantities of food.
• Caution should be used when removing the door of a freezer. Particular caution should be used when
removing the lid of a Chest freezer, as most Chest freezer lids are under spring tension. Contact the
manufacturer's representative for a method of safe removal.
